Soldiers may get sent to a lonely outpost with a couple of guard shacks and a building to sleep in. One such post is outside the village of Mijac, atop a mountain in southern Kosovo. Troops rotate through the camp once a week because of its austere conditions. David Hodges, of C Company, 1st Battalion, 325th Airborne Infantry Regiment. We have an outdoor latrine.
Latrine is a bit of a stretch.
Actually, it's a pail with a hose on it, which drains down a hill. Hodges doesn't complain. In fact, he said the conditions are not that bad. The soldiers use wood stoves to heat the building they stay in. Poor ventilation leaves many of the rooms heavy with smoke.
