Hey folks, here’s another strip I did here in Djibouti. We’ve had problems with graffiti in the restroom stalls and they threatened to remove the doors, telling us it was our responsibility to make sure it didn’t continue.
I’m not sure how exactly you are meant to stop that. Unless you station someone at each bathroom to do a search of the person entering…
The Army command at my last deployment had a better solution (surprisingly) he just had everyone paint the stall doors and walls black. Black sharpy on black wall is hardly readable.
They did the same thing here in Bagram, Afg. There were some interesting conversation pieces written there. Recently however the conversations on gone seriously down hill.
Where we deploy to, graffiti isn’t that huge of a deal. People just don’t really see the need to mark everything… That and the stalls are made of metal. That just takes more effort to mark.
Twas an outraged student that penned a reply to one instructors rant on a dry erase board, to his dismay she used a sharpie and he didn’t discover til ’twas dry…
’tis said some ELTs staytied the same instructor into the overhead on a boat and perhaps the crew left him for the rest of the shift.
Every third-world latrine I ever entered had that problem.
I could deal with the “96fm rocks!”
and i could deal with the poor spellings in the really bad poetry… ryhme and metre people!
What I could NOT accept was the totally inaccurate anatomical drawings that showed that the artist had ZERO experience with the anatomy of either gender..
Really, we have mirrors and nudie-mags all over the place!
Just eat some DFAC Mongolian BBQ or a Beef Enchilada MRE after stealing someone elses jalepeno cheese spread and throwing an extra in there. That marker will leave there like a round out of an Avenger cannon.
Probably his First and last trip to sick call for that sort of thing!
Nice one, even if I was expecting a strip of Kelly – STS
by the way, what is Kelly’s last name?
Ah… reminds me of high school!
But the writing on the walls is some of the best entertainment. Poor guy is just contributing to ‘la espirt de corps’.
SUPPORT a PAINTER…
PUT GRAFFITI EVERYWHERE!!
I am deployed with a guy named Airman Wagner. Poor guy never knew what was waiting for him in every single portapotty.
So Farva was down in Djibouti
Enjoying the heat of his duty
He wrote a cartoon
About some wall tagger goon
Who got his desserts in the booty.
“So Farva was down in Djibouti” STS. That marker’s in Djibouti.

What stops them from using red or silver sharpie then? Other than an inverted form of security through obscurity I guess?
We had the best solution in the KC-135 AMU in Al Udeid. They put up drawing paper pads in all the bathrooms at the shop, and it worked beautifully
That’s… a beautifully elegant solution.

Back in ’08 they DID take the doors off the stall in CSC Scania, IQ. That base is no longer there, however.

That looks like a Dry Erase Marker
Should be able to be removed easy enough.
From his ass? Shoot, put anything up there and I’m sure it’s not the easiest thing to remove.
“You see, I was marking my MOPP gear… and I fell. Onto the marker.”
“You weren’t wearing any pants when you were doing this?”
“It’s hot in my tent.”

Man, the galley Mongolian BBQ has been the best meal I’ve had this entire deployment.
my comments below were for you in the hope that you would see them Farva and do some strips on it
AFCENT personnel can no longer roll up their sleeves
