I can go about 2 days while doing non-stop construction projects then comes the smell of White Castles, but that's a world of a lot better than my younger days when I used to smell like Coney Dogs... :rofl:

I really dont know but I my uber mega bad times I'm gonna guess about a week. But its probably been a few years.

My more "normal" not so hot times its usually like 3 days. There's a fairly lively debate if taking a shower every day (some recommend every other day) is good for you or not. I typically take a shower every day, probably 6 times a week with a random day were I just am being lazy and say F it.

I don't leave the house without showering so I think the longest I've gone is two days. I usually only wash my hair every couple weeks or so though.

Do baby wipes count as bathing? If they do then 2 weeks max...if not then a month I think? The rest of my unit smells just as bad so nobody cares too much...

candyman brings up a good point...because I would have to ask if hand sanitizer counts? If it does, then it stands as previously stated...however, if not, then it's closer to about 14 or 15 days during the times I stay onsite during a build job... :whistle:

Probably 4 days... But I didn't stink ;)

One long, freaking, foul-smelling month. Sometimes, when in the field, you really don't get the chance to find clean water and using up the only drinking water you have in your canteen is not an option. :rambo:

Dude we always shower in the field...grab a solar shower and a cheap plastic curtain from wally world and just scrub up when you get free time. Just fill the shower at night so other people don't see...take care of yourself first. Now the showers here on deployment...ugh...the locals are nasty and crap in them all the time not to mention its cold as hell so I am buying the PX out of baby wipes...we don't get the same nice things as the Chairforce or the Navy idiots...
