    Chapter 1

    Todd had wanted to join the army ever since he was about 10 years old.
    He went to cadets every summer in junior high and high school. Finally
    he was going to get his wish. Today he was leaving for training. It had
    been one month since he had finished high school and the hot August air
    was blowing into his window. Todd began to curse at his fan, which had
    broken a couple of days ago. He was hot and sticky. He slowly moved his
    hand down to his groin and felt the front of his diaper carefully. It
    was soaked. He instantly felt ashamed. How was he ever going to manage
    in the army when every night he still wet like a baby? How was he ever
    going to hide his problem from the other men in his bunkhouse? In
    addition to his nighttime wetting he still wet in the day sometimes if
    he was far away from a toilet.
    	Todd stepped out of his bed onto the warm floorboards. He undid
    he tapes on the side of his diaper and it fell to the floor with a wet
    thud. He picked up the diaper, threw it in the garbage and went into
    the bathroom to take a shower. He let the warm water flow over him as
    he thought about his problem. He had wet the bed all his life. Due to
    his embarrassment he never invited friends over or had sleepovers. His
    only relationship with a girl had ended badly when he had an accident
    in the theatre. He had bought a large Coke and popcorn. Because of his
    nervousness he had finished both quite quickly. About half way through
    the movie he needed to pee. He tried to hold off for a while so he
    wouldn't have to leave his girlfriend alone. There was a really funny
    scene in the movie and he lost control and peed out two liters of pop
    all over his pants and the floor. Some had even splashed on the girl’s
    sandals. When she realized what happened she screamed and ran out of
    the theatre. Todd followed her and she had demanded to be taken home
    immediately. She told him that she would never see him again and did
    not care that he was on the football team. When she went to school the
    next day she told the entire team what had happened and Todd was teased
    for many weeks afterwards. He had never asked out another girl after
    that.
    	When Todd got out of the shower he went to his bed and taped on a
    fresh diaper. He did not want to have an accident on the long car ride
    to the army base. He got dressed in a pair of shorts and a t-shirt and
    hauled his bags downstairs. His diaper made a slight bulge in his
    shorts. His mom had made him fried bacon and eggs for breakfast as well
    as a large glass of fresh orange juice. He sat down and ate all his
    food and before he could think twice about it had finished the entire
    first glass of juice and had already started a second. He immediately
    stopped drinking it and put it back on the table. He did not want to
    wet on the way to the base. After he was done his breakfast he picked
    up his bags and loaded them into the car. His mom got into the driver's
    seat.
    	Throughout the entire ride Todd was quietly thinking about how he
    would hide his diapers from the other men on the base. Would he even be
    allowed to wear diapers in the army? Would they kick him out for
    wetting his bed? Finally they approached the gate to the base. His mom
    rolled down the window and told the guards that Todd was one of the new
    recruits. The gate opened and they drove inside. As they approached a
    large parking lot two privates came towards them and instructed Todd to
    get out of the car. Todd gave his mom a hug, grabbed his bags and
    stepped out onto the pavement. As his mom drove back to the gate he
    noticed that she was crying.
    	"Go and line up over there so you can get your uniform," said one
    of the privates.
    	Todd began to walk over to the line when he noticed his diaper
    was soaked and drooping down between his legs. He held his bag in front
    of his pants hoping to make it less obvious and moved to the back of
    the line. The line moved fairly quickly but he wet his diaper again
    when he was fifth from the front and a small amount leaked out onto the
    front of his shorts. He quickly looked around and no one seemed to
    notice. While he was looking around he noticed that the man who was now
    in the front of the line seemed to have a bulge in his pants. The men
    at the table handed him three combat uniforms, one dress uniform, two
    sets of lounge clothes, and a pair of underwear. The next four men and
    Todd got exactly the same thing. After Todd had gotten his uniform he
    took a seat on one of the benches with the other recruits. A sergeant
    with a microphone announced that everyone was to enter the bathhouse
    and change into one of their combat uniforms. On the way there they
    were to pick up a duffel bag in which to put the other uniforms until
    they were assigned a bunkhouse. The sergeant also specified that a
    combat uniform consisted of a pair of green pants, a green shirt, a
    pair of underwear, and a belt. Nametags would be sewn onto the uniforms
    later once everyone had officially registered. Todd thought the
    sergeant put an extra stress on the word "underwear" but he put it off
    to nerves.
    	As Todd entered the bathhouse he noticed that the room was
    already filled with men changing into their uniforms. Todd chose to
    change in a stall because he didn't want anyone to see his wet diaper.
    He took off the diaper and his clothes and then sat on the toilet to
    pee. He then began to put on his new uniform noticing that the pants
    were one size too large. He did not know what he was going to do about
    having to wear the underwear. In his current nervous state he would
    most likely be wet in no time. He debated about wearing a diaper under
    his underwear but decided against it. He did not want to make a bad
    impression on the very first day. He finished putting on his uniform,
    rolled up his diaper, hid it behind his duffel bag and headed for the
    door. While he passed the door he quickly threw the diaper into the
    trash. There were three other diapers in there already. At least there
    were three other men in the same situation that he was.
    	When everyone had returned outside the two privates they had met
    earlier gave them a guided tour of the base. When they arrived at the
    bunkhouses they were each assigned a bunkhouse on based on their last
    name. A-J took #6 K-R took #7 and S-Z took #8. There were forty men in
    each bunkhouse. Todd entered as quickly as possible because he did not
    want to get a top bunk. The last thing he wanted to do was pee on the
    guy who was sleeping under him. Waking up in a wet bed with forty other
    people in the same room would be embarrassing enough. Todd threw his
    bags on the first bottom bunk he saw and noticed that it made a
    crinkling sound when they landed.
    	"Eww these mattresses are plastic," one recruit yelled loudly.
    	"Sometimes the roof leaks and in the summer people sweat a lot.
    We used to have other mattresses but the medical staff made us throw
    them out because they started to smell," one of the privates explained.
    	Todd immediately felt better. At least with a plastic mattress he
    would not have to worry about everything smelling like pee.
    	"Let's go over to the mess hall now. It's our last stop," stated
    one of the privates.
    	As we walked across the exercise grounds the sun had reached high
    up into the sky covering the exercise grounds between the bunkhouses
    and the mess hall with sweltering heat. As Todd entered the mess hall
    he was more than happy to find out that it was air-conditioned. Todd
    took his place in the line in front of the serving counter. He was
    handed a large glass of lemonade, two sandwiches, and a bowl of ice
    cream.
    	"Eat everything. You will need it when you meet the drill
    sergeant this afternoon," one private advised. The second one nodded in
    agreement.
    	Todd realized how hungry he was and gulped down both sandwiches
    and drank all the lemonade. He spent a little more time with the ice
    cream. After lunch everyone was instructed to go to the bathhouse to
    wash up and then report to the exercise grounds
    in 15 minutes. While Todd was in the bathhouse he tried to use the
    toilet. Since he had just used it before dinner he could not go. He
    knew that he would need to use the bathroom again in about thirty
    minutes and hoped the sergeant would let him go. He washed his face and
    hands and went out to the exercise grounds and got in line.
    	"I hope everyone used the bathroom before they came out here
    because this drill takes about four hours and no one can leave until it
    is finished," said the sergeant. By the looks on a few of the men's
    faces you could tell they had forgotten to go. Todd's stomach flipped
    over with fear. He knew he would be wet before the drill was over.
    	The drill would start off with fifty push-ups, fifty jumping
    jacks, and fifty sit-ups. Next would come the five mile run. Todd made
    it through the push-ups but half way through the jumping jacks he
    really had to pee. He tried to hold it in but during his last five
    jumping jacks it just came out. A couple of the men next to Todd
    started laughing but stopped immediately when the sergeant looked in
    their direction. Todd was mortified and just wanted to run inside the
    bunkhouse and hide but he knew he couldn't leave. He finished the sit
    ups and when they lined up for the five mile run he noticed that about
    ten other guys had been overcome by the lemonade. Todd thought it was
    weird that the sergeant did not make a comment on this. By the end of
    the run Todd had wet again and about half the recruits were now
    sporting a large wet spot on the front of their uniform. After the
    drill everyone went back to the mess hall for supper. They were given
    an even larger glass of lemonade and roast beef and another bowl of ice
    cream. After supper they were instructed to have a shower and change
    into their lounge clothes and meet on the exercise grounds. Todd ran
    into the bathhouse, stripped his wet uniform off, and threw it in the
    hamper. Next he stood in the shower and washed the urine off his skin
    and let the water run on his tired muscles. He walked back to the
    bunkhouse in his towel and changed into his lounge uniform, which
    consisted of a pair of grey boxers and a grey shirt that said "army" on
    the front. He walked out onto the exercise grounds and joined the group
    of recruits that had already gathered on the benches. After a long
    discussion about the boot camp drills they would be doing in the next
    few days there was an announcement by the medical division that put
    Todd's mind more at ease. Each man was handed six additional pieces to
    their uniform, and their name tags and dismissed to the bunkhouse.

    Chapter 2

    	Todd examined the three white cloth diapers and the three pairs
    of green plastic pants that were in his hands. One of the diapers was
    thicker than the others and was meant to be worn at nighttime. Todd was
    happy that since all of the other men were going to wear diapers too
    that he wouldn’t be teased. However most of the other men were not
    pleased.
    	“Why do we have to wear diapers? I came here to learn how to
    defend my country, not piss myself like a baby,” one of the men shouted
    angrily.
    	“I am not wearing this thing,” another man stated.
    	As the men entered the bunkhouse they noticed two nurses standing
    by the door next to two large grey folding tables. Each one was
    carrying a large Ziploc bag that was full of army green diaper pins.
    “Form two lines next to the tables. If your bunk is on the right side
    of the room then line up in front of the right table and if your bunk
    is on the left side of the room line up in front of the left table.
    When you get to the front of the line take off your shorts and boots
    and hop on the table when the man before you is finished. This will be
    part of your uniform for the next six weeks. A nurse will diaper you
    until you learn to do it yourself. Do you understand me?” one of the
    nurses ordered.
    	“M’am yes m’am,” the men shouted half-heartedly.
    	The men slowly began to line up beside the tables. A few walked
    over to their beds and began to remove their boots. “Line up at the
    tables now or you will run five miles,” one of the nurses stated
    angrily. The men shuffled to the front of the room. One kicked his
    boots under his bunk and the nurse sent him outside for the five mile
    run. After this incident the rest of the men waited quietly in line for
    their turn.
    	Todd was the tenth person in line at the left table. He watched
    as the guy in the front of the line unlaced his boots and climbed
    slowly on the table. He handed the nurse the diapers and plastic pants.
    The nurse inspected him to make sure he was clean and then made him
    lift his bum and slid the diaper under him. As she was pinning on the
    diaper the man got an erection. The man’s face instantly turned bright
    red. The nurse told him to sit up and handed him his plastic pants. He
    quickly pulled them on and put his shorts on over them. Then he walked
    quickly to his bed holding the rest of the diapers and plastic pants in
    front of him to hide his erection.
    	Todd watched as the eight men in front of him were diapered. All
    but the seventh man got an erection. The seventh man just glared at the
    nurse the entire time and slumped off to his bunk after he was
    finished. Finally it was Todd’s turn. He hopped up onto the table and
    handed the nurse his diapers. She picked out the thickest one and slid
    it under him. It was warm and soft. Todd liked the way it felt a lot
    better than his disposables. When the nurse pulled the front of his
    diaper up the diaper pushed his eight-inch erection tightly against his
    stomach. There were only two inches between the top of his penis and
    the top of the diaper. When she was finished pinning it up she gave
    Todd his plastic pants and he pulled them on. Then she handed them the
    rest of the diapers and plastic pants. Todd walked back to his bed and
    put them in his locker before crawling into his bunk. Todd watched the
    line of men getting diapered as he tried to go to sleep.
    	The nurses were really fast at changing diapers and had appeared
    to have had a lot of practice at it. Todd wondered if all the new
    recruits had to wear diapers when they joined the army. When the last
    of the twenty men in the right line came up to the front of the table
    he threw his diapers on the floor and shouted, “this is not what I
    signed up for. If I wanted to be a baby then I would go back to my
    mother. Who is going to take us seriously when we fight them in giant
    diapers,” he shouted.
    	When the nurse told him to lay one the table he slapped her. She
    immediately pulled a needle out of the pocket of her scrubs, uncapped
    it and stuck it in his arm. He tried to tear his arm free and cried out
    in pain and ran out of the bunkhouse with the needle still in his arm.
    By this time most of the men had run to the door of the bunkhouse and
    were watching the scene in the exercise grounds. Two drill sergeants
    were running beside the man forcing him to do laps around the exercise
    ground. If he tried to stop the man on his left would smack his bottom
    with a baton. The needle was still hanging out of his arm. On his tenth
    lap he started to slow down which only resulted in an increased number
    of smacks with the baton.
    	Near the end of his eleventh lap he fell onto the ground. One of
    the drill sergeants reached down and pulled the needle out of his arm.
    The other one bent down and picked him up. He carried the man into the
    bunkhouse and placed him on the table. The nurse picked his diapers up
    off the floor and pinned it on him. Then she slid the plastic pants up
    to his thighs. The drill sergeant picked him up again and she pulled
    them up the rest of the way. Then he carried the man to his bunk, laid
    him down, and pulled the covers over him. The nurses then folded up the
    tables and propped them up against the door. Then they left, followed
    by the drill sergeants.
    	A moment later the two privates that had escorted them in the
    morning came into the bunkhouse. “I hope you all had a good day today.
    Sleep well tonight. You will need it tomorrow when you go through the
    woods. I hope you get used to your new uniforms. The diapers take some
    getting used to but believe me you will need them. They are a lot
    better than wet uniforms. Also when you go to sleep at night you will
    be too tired to wake up in the night. You don’t have to wear them when
    you are done boot camp,” said one of the privates.
    	The whole time the other private looked around at the recruits
    with a look of what appeared to be envy on his face. Todd suspected
    that he wished he was wearing a diaper too. When the two privates left
    they turned off the lights and shut the door behind them. Todd laid his
    head on his pillow. Some of the other men began to whisper loudly to
    each other.
    	“I don’t know what’s going on. This is the army, not daycare,”
    whispered the man in the bed across from Todd.
    	“I haven’t wet the bed since I was in kindergarten,” whispered
    the man in the bunk on top of him.
    	“You wet your pants while you were running today,” his bunkmate
    reminded him.
    	“They put something in the lemonade,” he replied trying to make
    some excuse that would make it less embarrassing.
    	“I’m taking mine off,” said a man on the other side of the room.
    He climbed off his bunk and put the diaper in his locker. Then he put
    his shorts back on.
    	“I wouldn’t do that if I were you,” another recruit warned. “I
    don’t think you want whatever punishment they come up with.”
    	“They’ll never know. I’ll just change quickly in the morning,” he
    replied.
    	Soon the stress of the training overcame the men despite of their
    anger about being put in diapers and they all fell asleep.

    Chapter 3

    	The sound of the bugle came all too soon. Todd climbed out of
    bed, almost tripping over his sheets. His wet diaper sagged down in his
    front. He looked around the room and noticed that nearly all of the
    men’s diapers were soaked. Todd looked over to the man who had been
    drugged last night and noticed that he was holding his pillow over his
    head. As Todd walked over to the man’s bunk he noticed that the man was
    crying. He also couldn’t miss the distinct poop smell that was coming
    from the bed.
    	A nurse came barging in through the bunkhouse door. “Line up by
    the door,” she ordered.
    	Todd walked quickly up to one of the nurses and whispered to her
    about what had happened. The nurse reassured Todd that the medication
    he was given usually had that effect on the soldiers and not to worry
    about it. She would clean the man up after everyone left. She then
    reached down and pulled off Todd’s plastic pants and unpinned his
    diaper. Todd waited as the nurse moved down the line unpinning diapers.
    The man at the back of the line was squirming uncomfortably.
    	“You are wearing a diaper so use it,” the nurse told him.
    	Almost instantly his face turned red and a look of embarrassed
    relief came onto his face. The nurse waited for a few minutes and then
    unpinned his very wet diaper as well. Suddenly there was commotion in
    the right line. The man who had taken his diaper off the night before
    was now sporting a large wet spot on the front of his shorts. The nurse
    who was inspecting another large wet spot in his bed was yelling at
    him. His face was red and he was looking at the floor. “I’m sorry,” he
    said quietly. He looked as if he was going to cry.
    	“Now you know why you have to wear diapers,” the nurse told him.
    “I think this embarrassment is enough punishment and I am sure this
    will not happen again. You all can go to the bathhouse now and take a
    shower. Come back here when you are finished.”
    	Todd followed the line of men in their towels to the bathhouse.
    When they entered most of the men went to stand by the urinals. Todd
    tried to use one but he couldn’t make anything come out. Next they went
    into the shower stalls. As soon as the warm water hit Todd’s penis he
    peed all over the shower. He was glad no one saw him have the accident.
    After he was finished showering he dried off, wrapped the towel around
    his waist, and walked across the already scorching exercise yard back
    to the bunkhouse.
    	He went to his locker and got out a diaper and a pair of plastic
    pants and went to stand in line with the other men. He noticed that the
    man who had wet his bed made no complaints about his diaper. After Todd
    was diapered he put his uniform on and went outside to go the mess
    hall. His pants now fit him perfectly. When Todd entered the mess hall
    he realized how hungry he was. The food smelled wonderful. He lined up
    at the counter. The man behind the counter gave him bacon, eggs, a
    sausage, and three pieces of French toast. When he moved farther down
    the counter another man handed him a large glass of apple juice.
    	After he got his food, Todd walked over to the tables. He saw the
    man who had wet his bed the night before sitting by himself. He sat in
    the chair across from him.
    	“Hello, my name is Todd.”
    	“I’m Tony,” mumbled the other man while looking down at his food.
    	“Don’t be embarrassed, Tony. It’s no big deal.”
    	“Of course it’s a big deal. All of the other men will make fun of
    me now. No one who is nineteen years old still wets the bed. If my dad
    ever found out he would kill me.”
    	“Look at all the men who woke up with wet diapers. If they hadn’t
    been wearing them they would have all wet the bed too. Besides I still
    wet the bed every night.”
    	“You’re joking! No one this old still wets the bed. Well I guess
    everyone else woke up wet…maybe its not so bad. I am wearing my diaper
    tonight for sure. I don’t want that to happen again.”
    	“That’s a good idea. What do you think of boot camp so far?” Todd
    asked. “All my muscles are aching today. I am so tired I could have
    slept for another five hours.”
    	“All my muscles hurt too. My stomach muscles are so weak right
    now. I just want to go back to bed right after breakfast. Oh crap!”
    	“What?” asked Todd”
    	“I just peed my diaper,” Tony whispered. “I didn’t even feel it.”
    	“You should go and see the nurse after breakfast. Maybe you have
    an infection. It was really hot yesterday and we were in wet uniforms
    for most of the afternoon.”
    	The two men stopped talking and ate their breakfast quickly. They
    didn’t want to be late for morning drills. When they were finished they
    both walked out to the exercise grounds and joined the rest of the
    recruits who were starting to gather on the benches. The sun was now
    beating on the earth causing heat waves to form along the horizon. Two
    drill sergeants were standing in front of the benches. One was holding
    a megaphone and the other was holding what looked like a very large
    army green garbage bag. When the last of the recruits sat on the
    benches the sergeant with the megaphone turned it on and it made a
    deafening screech.
    	“Today our training will start off with the usual fifty sit ups,
    fifty jumping jacks, and fifty push-ups and we will finish off before
    lunch with the five mile run. After lunch we will go through the
    obstacle course. The forecast says it will be forty degrees today. We
    will hand out canteens to everyone. You will get them refilled every
    two hours and we expect them to be empty at every refill time. If you
    don’t drink enough water you will get sick. Do you understand me?”
    shouted the drill sergeant.
    	“Sir Yes sir!” the recruits shouted.
    	The second sergeant reached into the bag and began passing out
    canteens to each of the men. The canteens were the usual army green and
    looked like they would hold at least a liter of water. Todd took his
    canteen from the sergeant. While he was taking his canteen he read the
    sergeants nametag that was sewn onto his uniform; Charles Howard.
    Sergeant Howard moved on down the line until his bag was empty and
    every recruit held an empty canteen.
    	“Line up in front of the water jugs on that truck over there and
    fill your canteen. When you are all back we will start the drills,”
    ordered the other sergeant.
    	“Sir Yes sir,” shouted the recruits.
    	The recruits quickly lined up in two lines in front of the two
    water jugs and began to fill their canteens. As soon as Todd’s canteen
    was full he drank some water and put the cap on. He was already thirsty
    and his uniform was sticking to him. Todd was afraid of what it would
    feel like running five miles in forty degrees. He walked back towards
    the benches and stood in the line beside Tony. The recruits were in
    three lines according to their barracks. When everyone had lined up
    they all lay down on the ground and began to do the sit-ups. By the
    time Todd was finished the sweat was dripping off his face. Tony’s
    uniform was soaked beneath the armpits. Both men took a long drink from
    their canteens before beginning the jumping jacks. By the time Todd had
    finished the jumping jacks his canteen was half empty. His diaper was
    sticking to him and the plastic pants clung wetly to his legs. He
    didn’t think he had even used the diaper yet. By the time he was
    finished the sit ups his uniform was completely soaked with sweat and
    his canteen was nearly empty. Tony was a little red in the face. Out of
    the corner of his eye Todd noticed that the water trucks had returned.
    	One everyone had refilled their canteen the recruits lined up for
    the five mile run. Todd could see the heat waves around the edge of the
    exercise grounds. A thermometer on a post beside the benches read 38
    degrees.
    	“Everyone must stay in line today. The trucks will meet you half
    way to refill your canteens. Everyone’s should be empty at that time.
    You will not have to carry your packs today. Apparently one of the
    nursing staff talked to the colonel about this.” Sergeant Howard glared
    at the medical building and kicked the dirt with his boot. Sweat poured
    off his forehead. The heat was doing nothing to improve his temper.
    	“Sir yes sir” the recruits shouted halfheartedly.
    	Sergeant Howard didn’t seem to notice. He started off down the
    path. The recruits jogged in formation behind him. Todd took frequent
    drinks from his canteen. Sometime during the morning he had soaked his
    diaper and his wet diaper and wet uniform were chafing his skin. About
    half a mile down the path the recruits went into a grove of trees. The
    trees shaded them from the scorching sun but the air beneath them was
    as muggy as the air on the exercise grounds. The light green leaves
    overhead were still. It seemed that even the birds were taking shelter.
    Todd’s boots were brown with the dirt and every time he took a step it
    sent up a little cloud of dust. Todd was near the front of the
    formation and could see that Sergeant Howard’s face had turned dark
    red. The drill sergeant was taking frequent sips of water from his
    canteen.
    	About two miles down the path Todd noticed that the formation had
    slowed down considerably. Suddenly Sergeant Howard fell face-first into
    the dust. Several recruits ran into each other in an effort to stop.
    Todd pushed his way to the front and knelt down beside him. The man’s
    eyes were closed and he was breathing shallowly. The other sergeant was
    already on the radio sending for the medics. Todd began to unbutton the
    sergeant’s uniform to give him more air. Another recruit poured some of
    his water onto the sergeant’s forehead.
    	There was a crunching of tires and a jeep came out of the trees.
    Two medics exited the jeep. “It’s ok. We’ll take it from here. The
    colonel orders you all to go back, take a shower, and meet in the mess
    hall. You will be studying combat theory this afternoon,” one of the
    medics informed the recruits. He then walked over to the other sergeant
    and started talking to him. The sergeant began to argue with the medic.
    	“It’s the colonel’s orders! Go discuss it with him!” the medic
    shouted no longer caring that everyone else could hear him.
    	“Form three lines and we will walk back to the bunkhouses. The
    officers don’t seem to understand the importance of training. It would
    be this hot during desert combat. But remember that you must always
    follow orders.” The other sergeant began to reluctantly head back down
    the path. The three lines of recruits followed behind him. Todd was in
    the back of the line. He watched as they loaded the unconscious
    sergeant into the back of the jeep. He then turned around quickly in
    case the other sergeant happened to turn around and notice he was out
    of step.
    	Todd marched in line behind the other recruits. Walking wasn’t
    quite as bad as running but Todd wished he was back in the air
    conditioned buildings. Finally the edge of the exercise grounds came
    into view. The drill sergeant told the recruits to go into their
    bunkhouses and walked off towards the mess hall. As soon as Todd
    entered the bunkhouse he took in a huge breath of the cool air. He took
    another sip from his canteen. The water was lukewarm and tasted of new
    plastic. He nearly spit it out but thought better of it and swallowed
    it quickly.
    	“Take off your uniforms and put them in the hampers. Then line up
    by the door and one of the nurses will remove your diaper. Take a
    shower and go to the mess hall for lunch,” one of the nurses ordered.
    	“Ma’am yes ma’am,” shouted the recruits. They began to peel off
    their sweaty uniforms and line up slowly by the door. One of the nurses
    had brought in a cart with several jugs of ice water and large plastic
    glasses.
    	The nurse began to take off the first man’s diaper. Instead of
    just unpinning his diaper like she had done in the morning and dropping
    it in a pail like the nurse took the man’s temperature with an ear
    thermometer. Then the nurse took off the diaper and checked the color
    of the urine. She then handed him a large glass of ice water and sent
    him off to the bathhouse. The man drank the water, put the glass in a
    bin on the cart and headed out the door with his towel wrapped around
    his waist.
    	When it was Todd’s turn at the front of the line the nurse stuck
    the thermometer in his ear and seeming satisfied with the result she
    gently lowered his plastic pants and unpinned his diaper. His diaper
    was soaked with sweat and dark colored urine. A rash had developed on
    the inside of his legs and they stung in the open air. The nurse handed
    him a glass of water. The water was cold and fresh and tasted slightly
    of lemons, which were floating around on the top of the pitchers. He
    drank the water slowly allowing it to soothe his dry throat. When he
    was finished he put the glass in with the other ones and went to get
    his towel from the morning, which he had folded on the end of his bed
    and wrapped it around his waist. Todd walked over to the door and
    pulled it open. The air hit him in a huge blast. Reluctantly he headed
    across the exercise grounds towards the bathhouse. His groin was
    beginning to itch.
    	When Todd entered the bathhouse he went into one of the stalls
    and sat down on the toilet. He started too pee as soon as he sat down.
    While Todd was peeing he noticed that it stung a little. Just as he was
    about to get up he felt the need to poop. After he was finished he tore
    off some paper to wipe. The rough feeling of the paper on his bum made
    him cry out in pain. He dropped the paper in the toilet deciding that
    he would just wash off in the shower. He flushed and then headed into
    one of the shower stalls.
    	The water made Todd’s rash sting. He reluctantly got some body
    wash out of the wall dispenser and began to wash himself. Tears
    streamed down his face as the soap touched the open areas of his rash.
    He quickly washed his hair, rinsed all the soap off of his body, turned
    off the shower, and headed over to the door. He pulled a clean towel
    off of the cart and began to dry himself off. He tried not to cry as he
    rubbed his diaper area with the towel but it hurt so much that he just
    wrapped the towel around his waist and headed back to the bunkhouse.
    	Todd went over to the changing table and lay down. The nurse
    pulled the towel away and began to examine his rash with a concerned
    look on her face. She blotted him dry very gently with the corner of
    his towel. Next she walked over to her cart and got a large tub of
    cream. Todd squirmed around of the table. The air was making his rash
    sting so badly that tears started to slide down his cheeks. Todd was
    glad that the other men who were already diapered were sleeping on
    their bunks. Some were wearing their grey lounge shirts and others were
    just in their diapers. Tony lay on his stomach. His shirt had ridden up
    to the middle of his back and his diapered bum pointed skywards while
    he slept peacefully. Tony was wearing a light green disposable diaper.
    	“This will make you feel better. That rash looks really sore. It
    should get better in a few days. I am going to put you in a disposable
    to keep the wetness off your skin,” the nurse said while she rubbed the
    cream on Todd.
    	Todd whimpered the whole time. The cream was cold and helped to
    take away some of the pain. He began to relax on the table as the nurse
    massaged the cream into his skin and he stopped crying. The nurse
    opened the diaper and slid it under Todd’s bum. She sprinkled some baby
    powder on and brought the front up between his legs. She took off the
    gloves she was wearing and did up the tapes securely. There were two
    tapes on each side of the light green diaper and the fabric of the
    diaper stretched to fit his waist. The diaper was much more bulky that
    the disposables he had at home and the cloth like cover felt a lot
    better on the outside than the white plastic of his own diapers. The
    nurse helped him sit up and climb off the table. Todd walked over to
    his bunk and lay down on his back. He closed his eyes and went to sleep
    almost instantly.
    	“Its only 10:00. Let’s just let them sleep for two hours before
    lunch,” said one nurse to the other.

    Chapter 4

    	Army nurse Elizabeth Summers glanced out the window of the
    hospital complex waiting for the new recruits to arrive. It was a day
    she always waited for with anticipation. Four years ago she had come up
    with a new rule for basic training. She had thought it would be better
    if all the recruits were diapered during their training as most
    recruits had frequent accidents in their uniforms and all over the
    mattresses in the bunk houses. She might not have been able to pull
    this off had her father not been a general. Her father, Donald Summers
    had been killed in action in the Middle East ten years ago and everyone
    at the base seemed to try and compensate for this by letting Elizabeth
    do whatever she pleased.
    	One day Elizabeth told her idea to the Colonel. Colonel Hendrick
    was in charge of the base and he suffered from obsessive compulsive
    disorder. He liked everything to be perfect. He even went so far as to
    individually pluck dandelions out of the grass in the exercise compound
    during his lunch break. Often Elizabeth sat in her office and laughed
    into her soup as he went from one end of the compound to the other
    finding dandelions. If none were to be found his pacing would become
    more and more frantic until at last he found one and stabbed it from
    the ground with his combat knife. He also had this annoying way of
    sorting paper clips by color into different compartments of his desk
    organizer. One of the secretaries had tried to change the supply order
    to all silver ones but Colonel Hendrick had ordered her angrily to
    change it back.
    	The Colonel always complained during officer’s meetings about the
    different colored spots on the grass caused by the recruits’ accidents.
    He wanted the lawn to be a perfect dark green but it had so many spots
    on it that it looked like a new pattern of camouflage. The other
    officers were beginning to get annoyed by his constant complaining and
    discussed it whenever the Colonel wasn’t around to hear them. One day
    one of the sergeants approached Elizabeth and asked her if there was
    anything that she could give the recruits that would make it so they
    wouldn’t discolor the grass. “I have a better plan,” she replied.
    	At the next officer’s meeting she introduced the idea of diapers.
    Several of the officers burst out laughing but the Colonel was
    listening closely. He was happy that he had finally found a way to keep
    the grass looking nice and that the bunkhouses would no longer have a
    stale urine smell to them. When Elizabeth and the Colonel decided
    something the other officers had little choice but to go along with it.
    The next supply order included ten thousand white diapers with green
    pins and plastic pants. The company had to custom-make the plastic
    pants as they did not carry any in olive green.
    	The recruits had a little surprise waiting for them on the next
    delivery day. That night Elizabeth called a meeting in the exercise
    grounds. When Elizabeth stepped onto the platform all the recruits
    began shifting uncomfortably thinking that they would have to listen to
    another boring education session about sexually transmitted diseases or
    proper nutrition. By the end of the presentation most of the recruits
    had looks of shocked disbelief on their faces. Each recruit was passed
    their diapers and sent back to the bunkhouse.
    	In the next few weeks there were no accidents during training and
    the drills were running better. Surprisingly the recruits’ morale went
    up and there were fewer fights in the bunkhouses. Even the grass began
    to turn the same shade of green much to the Colonel’s delight. Most of
    the recruits began to accept the new additions to their uniform and
    some even liked their diapers. The only challenge was that once boot
    camp was over the recruits didn’t seem to want to give up their diapers
    although most of them were dry at the end of the day.
    	At last the busses pulled into the parking lot and several cars
    drove in. Several nervous looking recruits lined up at the tables.
    Elizabeth watched them all carefully. She could tell that a few of them
    were already wearing bulky diapers under their clothes. Most of them
    were trying rather unsuccessfully to hide the fact behind various
    pieces of luggage. For the next few hours Elizabeth busied herself with
    paper work while glancing out the window periodically into the exercise
    grounds. Just before supper most of the recruits were soaked. This was
    the only part that the Colonel complained about. Unfortunately on the
    first day the grass got wet. One of the ways of getting the recruits to
    accept their diapers was to let them go without them on the first day.
    After having an accident most of them were more willing to wear
    diapers.
    	After supper Elizabeth changed into a pair of olive green scrubs
    and walked over to the exercise grounds. Some of the recruits had
    already finished showering and were sitting on the benches. Most of
    them looked exhausted. While the drill sergeants were explaining the
    drills that the recruits would be doing in the next few days, Elizabeth
    and some of the other nurses were getting the diapers ready to be
    passed out. She had ordered some of the privates to help carry the
    diapers onto the exercise grounds.
    The sun was beginning to sink towards the horizon causing the trees to
    cast shadows across the compound. The air was still hot and humid
    making Elizabeth’s scrubs stick to her. She made a mental note to talk
    to the Colonel tomorrow to see if he could cancel some of the drills
    tomorrow. The forecast was for 45 degrees and the last thing Elizabeth
    wanted was for the hospital to be full of recruits with heat stroke.
    She knew the drill sergeants wouldn’t approve especially Sergeant
    Howard. He never agreed with anything Elizabeth did and over the years
    they had become enemies. When she had introduced the idea of diapers he
    hated the idea and thought that they ruined his training exercises.
    	When the drill sergeants were finished talking Elizabeth took the
    microphone and began her speech. “Each of you will be given three
    diapers and three pairs of plastic pants. These are part of your
    uniform for the next six weeks and you will not take them off unless
    you are instructed to do so. Anyone who takes off their diaper or tries
    to refuse to wear it will be punished. A nurse will diaper you. You are
    not allowed to put it on by yourself. You will be changed three times
    every day: when you wake up, before lunch, and before bed. Try to hold
    it for as long as you can before you wet your diaper. Don’t wet as soon
    as you feel the need to go. Do you understand me?” “M’am yes m’am,” the
    recruits shouted halfheartedly. “I can’t hear you,” Elizabeth shouted.
    “M’am yes m’am,” the recruits shouted a little more loudly this time.
    “You are dismissed. Line up in front of the platform. After you get
    your diapers, head to your bunkhouse. The nurses will be there in a few
    minutes to help you.”
