they had this oil drum with fire in it a

The drums were still active in Vietnam, though the fires were to burn

I used oil-filled crappers at Fort Dix in 1956. The promise was that
the oil keep the smell from rising. The promise was not fulfilled.


I remember the similarity between the Pullman roomette I rode
when I went back east to join the navy in 1958 and the four
engined military hop I flew back for Christmas. (Andrews to
Palmdale) In one I could see the railroad ties rushing by when
the crapper was flushed and in the other I saw clouds!
