    Soldiers at Patrol Base Mahawil have to take combat showers, showers lasting less than 30 seconds, in order to conserve water. "You just turn it on, get a little bit wet, cover yourself in soap real quick, turn back on, let it rinse off real quick, and if you don't get it in 30 seconds, you're stuck with soap on your body," says Spc. Gerry Denardi, a native of Branford, Conn., and an infantryman with 2nd Battalion, 28th Infantry Regiment, 172nd Infantry Brigade.
