I was thinking about this morning and it made me laugh a little. During basic training, there was almost 50 female soldiers in the company I was in. There was only five showers and on a nightly basis we had maybe 15 minutes for all of us to take a shower, which means there was nights that not everyone got to take a shower. Given that you only had maybe three minutes in the shower, shaving your legs was not a priority. Luckily, I went to basic training during the middle of winter so we wore our 'marshmallow suit' (the light grey sweatsuit that you wear in basic) for PT every morning so it wasn't that big of a deal. Prior to joining the Army shaving my legs was an everyday thing.
The lack of need for shaving also comes into play as an Army spouse. When my husband is gone, shaving your legs loses priority. There is no one in bed to get poked with anything so you don't have to worry about it. I guess you could say this is looking at the positive side of him being gone since you save money on razors and you don't have anyone picking on you for being a little stubby.
