I certainly wasn't suggesting that *civilian* life should include some of the billeting arraignments that we in the service have endured, but even in my present company - if I was sent to the DFW area for a project for instance and was told that I would be sharing a condo with my own bed and bath I don't think I'd be complaining much. I'm sure there are other aspects of the living quarters that would need to answered - like the internet and TV that another poster questioned; but I'd probably have to shake my head if someone could handle the own bed/bath combo. Interesting point though about the other party having wife/kids/family/others over till all hours of the night. Guess you'd have to apply college level discretion, manners, and rules In the end - you could always complain up the chain or even call in fatigued if you had brought the problem to managements attention and nothing was done.
