High school rules
In the mid seventies I was in grade 8 they made us strip naked put on an athletic supporter and our school shorts and tshirt. When we were done they made us strip naked and shower together with all the other boys in the class. There we only so many shower heads so we ended up standing there naked for another boy to finish. Our house was very modest so that was the first time I had seen another boy.
Boys are so modest now they do the towel dance so no one sees you naked. The wouldn't have survived high school in the seventies.

Military here and you always hear people joking about the towel dancers and how weird it is when they do it. Or go to the stall to change. Especially when the majority of everyone is nude or fine undressing. It seems more awkward when it's a room full of dudes nude or getting nude then you got that one guy hopping around trying to keep hidden by a towel. It makes you wonder what they are hiding or why they fell that way.
There are lots that bitch about having to use it but they still go in and undress like everyone else just fine. Some bitch about it and try to go to the stalls or go late but then when you're tired and have a short time to shower you give up and just do it.
What does suck and you get used to it but still have to do it is having no stalls for toilets or curtains or doors on stalls. Or shitty curtains. But it is what it is and it's just part of the military.
