The red tent
Here at Fort Jackson I am in open bay berthing. This translates to a barracks, not pictured, with bunk beds ("racks") accomodating 40 females presently. This also translates to 40 females synchronizing their menstral periods. But there are a few smart ones among us, myself excepted, who have taken advantage of "Depo". Apparently medical has an injection, a hormone blend that eliminates the menstrual period. This injection is given every three months for up to a two year timeframe. The risk here is a future likelihood of decreased bone density, and (get this) possible increased cramping once mensing resumes. No thanks.
