Home Away from Home

Sometimes home is where your butt is.

USS Mount Whitney, flagship, Sixth Fleet - and a Russian "trawler".
Still, they are homes away from home for both sides of the equation.
Cramped bunks in a submarine. That's all the privacy you're going to
get...and if you're junior, you're going to have somebody else sleeping
in it (and passing gas) while you're on watch.
Sleeping in Afghanistan - A soldier from 1st Battalion Welsh Guards
(1WG) rests following intense fighting with Taliban insurgents
in Helmand, Afghanistan during Operation Panchai Palang 2
(Op Panthers Claw).
When you're in a hammock, it's not as easy for the camel spiders and death stalker scorpions to get to you.

Copping a few Z's in the aircraft
Not much to look at .... but they call it home (for now)
Think about home...
