 Just what the title says. We have latrine "cubes" like these, plus the usual porta-potties. The "cubes" have actual water and flush toilets - very nice!

To add info based on the comments: Each "box" has two stalls, two urinals (even those boxes marked "Female" - the two closed doors in this shot) and two sinks. The star in the distance is for a Hardee's - that's the "food court" and it features Hardee's, KFC, Charley's Subs, Subway (yeah, makes no sense, that, but they both do fine), one other thing I can't remember, and of course my haven - Starbucks. They're all trailer-based "stores" with Starbucks being the only one with indoor seating.

this is really insightful to see your everyday life there. i've really appreciated being able to "ride along."

you're getting too good at this texture. you need to experiment with some new wacky textures. so let it be written. so let it be done.

Definitely not very inviting, but if you have to go, you have to go.

I wondered when these were coming ! I'm impressed- so glad you don't have to squat over some dank hole :).
You maybe could have had a head sneaking out one of the open doors- seriously- another fine image in your series !

Unusual and interesting image! I agree the star thing really adds to this bleak image. I love your crisp detail and nice tones. Superb editing!

Well, what the military lacks for in color, it surely makes up for in geometric design. Nice series of cubes!

You have made this into quite a nice picture. Really. These colors are luscious (pardon me if that word is out of line in referring to latrines, but I'm loving the colors and tones). That star-like thing over to the left is a very excellent addition to the shot.

Another great shot. I am glad to see that you have a few conviences, like flush toilets there!

The treatment suits it perfectly. I like the two doors open balancing the two doors closed.

Sweet - with stairs and everything! Love your processing here - has a great old-time feel to it.

Another detail in the life of a soldier in Kuwait. Bleak, but sanitary.

Good lighting too!
