It was run by the Green Beret Mormons. That's enough of a story in itself. Look them up if you are unfamiliar. The barracks were from World War Two. If you flushed the toilets then you had to first scream "FIRE IN THE HOLE!" to let the men in the showers know to back away for a few seconds while the water was scalding hot.
We got done. I was showering before I left for my flight when some asshole flushed the toilet and severely burned my skin. I came out completely naked and screamed, "YOUR ASS IS MINE!" and I can upon retrospect see how that could be very easily misconstrued but he ran and I chased him down, tackled him, and started beating the fuck out of the back of his skull when he started screaming in a complete panic, "RAPE! RAPE! RAPE! I AM BEING RAPED!!"
The NCOINC showed up and I explained that I was just kicking his ass and not trying to rape him and he responded, "So he flushed the toilet while you were in the shower?" I confirmed that. While he was walking past my then victim, he kicked him in the face on the way out.
