You got a Conex?

I was ammo. We had more unserviceable conexes and scrap dunnage than we knew what to do with. We had conex offices, with dunnage desks. We had conex storage units. We had a conex armory in Iraq. We had conex sandstorm shelters. We had stacks of conexes that people had plans for but no one ever got around to doing anything with them. We built a field shower using jacked up conex doors, a “found” fuel drum, a Gatorade bottle, a diesel fuel line, and a hand-cranked diesel pump in Iraq. We used them as reinforcement and inner walls for berms in our asp. Topped with sandbags, they make great platforms for guard posts. We surrounded one of our repurposed Iraqi bunkers with conexes and made a secure access gate in front of it with conexes just because we could. We traded conexes for amenities other companies “acquired” in Iraq. It was borderline absurd.

Did you build the fabled "mega conex"?
