Am I Living In Box, Am I Living in a....
The mere mention of a Corimec will bring out a wry smile in some squaddies and a cold sweat in others.
A prefabricated box about 4m long and 2m wide it would accomodate anything between 1 and 4 soldiers.
In the early versions you were lucky if you got a window that opened or a functioning heater. These days if you are lucky you get aircon.
When I turned up and 'moved in' to my Corimec in Bosnia the first thing I noticed was the elaborate guttering that the previous occupant had fashioned out of polystyrene cups.
It was certainly going to be interesting when it rained.

Lookin' for a cheap holiday. How many stars they got?
I tried one of those Japanese sleep-in-a-box hotels once. Aweful.
And awful. No wonder they try to prevent us round-eyes from using 'em.
Could have been worse; at least you had a good view!
Are they deliberately built to be very narrow and claustrophobic so that you soldiery types can stand outside on the balcony with no shirt on flexing your biceps?
If so, I may have to think about having one built in my back garden.
Four Dinners - even cheaper if you don't mind washing up.
Stu - I think they've opened one in London now.
Nick - very true - it was quite cosy after a while.
Sherbert - :o)
Katy - if you saw half the blokes these days you really wouldn't be saying that.
Eggbanjo - too true.
Fuh, they look like the dorm rooms at my uni. At least they didn't make you pay $110 a week for them. And why doesn't my room come with hot, soldierly-type neighbours?!! I should lodge a complaint with the housing office.
Does the cute shirtless guy with the nice shoulders come with the box?
