Living Accomodations: my squad lived at The Edge and shared bunk rooms with our teams. We could pay $10 a day for air conditioning in our rooms, but mostly slept without it. I slept outside on the couch a few times because our room didn’t have any windows or air flow. HOT showers and flushing toilets!

Were my clothes or my face ever dry? Nope. Always sweaty, always shiny
