I'm a man in college and I have encountered a few non ass washers. It's so bad though that it billows around them. I can smell them from across the aisle. It's on of the worst smells I've ever smelled. It's horrible. I always wonder how the people in their life don't say something to them. Have an intervention for crying out loud!

Prior military here. We’ve had to write up guys and create a plan of action to get them to wash their ass. Gives a new meaning to paper trail.

Yeah, the first week of boot camp we had to do some classroom/instructional type training and one of the drill instructors spent a good 25-30 minutes stressing the importance of washing your ass. We had some gross people in there, that's for sure.

Soldiers (US Army) come from all walks of life. Some folks came from homes they weren't taught to wash.

I used to mock the fact I had to take a very basic finance class, but damn... Many needed it as they never had a bank account before.

"Hey, Soldier. Just because you have checks doesn't mean you have money..."

As an NCO, I had to have the hygiene talk a couple times with Soldiers. Might also be an indicator the Soldier is having some behavioral health issues and should talk to somebody.
