Living quarters in the south pole -- not exactly four star, but not a tent.
My husband however has done the tent life in the sand box and Africa too many times to count (of course his tent had air conditioning....... 
)
When I first made it to Germany we slept in our tracked vehicles. They had space heaters but some dumbass left his on all night with the hatches closed and died of carbon monoxide poisoning. So then we were ordered to sleep outside the tracks.
Well, it was muddy as hell becuase when you move with an armored/mechanized unit they churn up the ground. Even the frozen hell that is Germany turns into a giant sludge pit once a battalion of tanks moves through.
But it is an odd thing: the ground is churned it is because tracks have been running through there...and where they run once, they run again.
And sometimes they would run over soldiers who were ordered to sleep on the ground because some dumb ass died of carbon monoxide poisoning. Of course I woud much rather die of CO poisoning than be mutilated to death by a 65 ton Abrams...but that's just how quirky I am.
So their next stoke of jeenyuss was to order us into tents and to hang chem lights and engineer's tape (actually a thick, white nylon-like ribbon material) around/over the tents.
Alas, mech/armor units are supposed to be highly mobile, meaning we had to be moving constantly and on short notice. Assuming we stopped for a few hours we had to put up and take down tents...in the dark...which took an hour-plus out of the 2 to 4 hours we were allowed to sleep.
I would have sodomized those penguins on youtube to have been allowed to sleep in those barracks.
Colorado sux too...not only is it cold as @#$% there are cactus and yucca plants everywhere.
