Do you know why the Navy trains it&#8217;s people to take a shower like that? The reason is simple. First, there is a limited number of showers on a ship and they have a large number of crewmen. Second, they have to desalinate and purify their own water, which takes time and resources. The Navy, in fact all navies, put the priority on drinking water then showers. How about you ask members of the Navy how they shower when they are back on base and not living under water restrictions? I suspect they tend to just sit in there, (unless they have a hot date to get to), and luxuriate under the hot water. And then we have all the people who like to sing in the shower. You simply can&#8217;t get through a good aria in less then five minutes.
