Reallocation
Most of the people here just throw out the stuff they have bought form the PX or had shipped here. They could try selling it but it is really hard to get money for a desk, chair, fan, tv, etc. The general attitude is to you take what you can find, you should take a crappie desk because you don’t have anything else right now. Then when you find something better you take that and give your crappy desk to someone else. And the circle of Iraq continues.
The goal is to get the best stuff; it is kind of a game. We had a guy leave that liked us and he just gave us all of his crap. A power inverter, extension cord, more cleaning products then I have at home, and a bunch of little stuff you would not think you will need.
Yesterday I got a desk/trunk thing. It is not the greatest, but it was free and when I find something better I will replace it. Today I found a free little table and made that into my desk. (See Pictures).
Also the roommate and I moved our lockers into the center of the room, making a berlin wall of privacy. (See Picture)
