Wet Knight Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Now that the British Army are going to be less picky about who can join, can some young bedwetter please try to apply. Lol Link to comment
stevewet Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I can't imagine anyone who wets the bed being allowed in the armed forces. When my Dad was in he said one of the lads in his group was thrown out for being a bedwetter. Link to comment
deewet Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 It used to be that the military forces in USA were very picky about who could join, I was almost in pilot training but at last minute, was denied because my eye sight was only near perfect, not perfect. Who knows, with the activist judges involved now, doubt no one will not be be allowed if they make a fight of it. Link to comment

TheBabyPants Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I became incontinent while in the military and had to wear diapers. I was also allowed to remain another 6 years before being medically retired. Link to comment
dribbler Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Long time ago in the Army Cadet Corps (UK) when at camp we were told that if it was likely to happen (a condition related to the beer we smuggled in) just to use a waterproof cape or groundsheet on the bunk - that way the sergeants would know, but turn a blind eye because technically the bed wasn't wet. 1 Link to comment
Brudda Voodu Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 The reason for this is the logistics and hygiene in operational theater. Anyone who has served in theater knows about water restrictions, and keeping hygiene up to prevent the spread of infection and disease. Ever have to work in the same clothes over a period of several days without a shower? Sweating through them several times a day and taking "bird baths" in the field to prevent sores and chaffing and infection. Now imagine your clothes and sleepingbag/rack are soaked in piss on a nightly or semi-nightly basis, your personal hygiene will fall and the unit hygiene will fall due to proximity. When luxuries like showers and clean cloths go out the window your main concern is keeping clean so you can continue to soldier on without being a liability. Link to comment
Poobottom Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I was in the army in the Netherlands and I wet the bed regularly then. Generally it happened just after I fell asleep so the bed was dry by the time I woke up. Never have I heard my room mates mention anything Link to comment
