Regarding the "scrubbing" story I can add my own memory. I was in Boot Camp Company No. 1276, in 1943, at Great Lakes, I remember a similar incident.
I didn't know the guy and had no knowledge of his personal showering habits, but one day a group of men in our Company grabbed him and physically took him to a shower and really scrubbed him down. (With one of our Navy-issue scrub brushes)! THAT must have really felt horrible! Needless to say he hept very clean from that day forward.
In the Navy it is especially necessary and important that "all hands" keep themselves as clean as possible.
That was my only "experience" with that sort of thing.
