3 weeks during a Military exercise in death valley. You could rinse off kinda. Use wet wipes and more deodorant..
As soon as I bathed we rented a car and went to Vegas..

Wut?
Are you National Guard or something? Was it in conjunction with Gallant Eagle? You got to leave the Mohave and drive to Vegas after the exercise?
I jumped into a couple of Gallant Eagle exercises out there and we'd go a couple of weeks without bathing but we always ended-up at March AFB taking cold showers under hoses on the tarmac. You'd crap turds like bricks after being in that desert for two weeks eating nothing but c-rats and what little water they allowed you.

I thought I was shitting a cinder block after not going for a week and eating nothing but MRE's.

When I went biking in Europe, I went about 2 weeks. But then I got to break my shower fast with a sublime shower in one of the nicest hotels in Paris.
Hell, in Paris, you were probably still the cleanest one there before you took your bath after two weeks.
Stinkinest bunch of southern Europeans known to man. Loved the city, disliked the people immensely. Now, Germany, Italy, Austria, Switzerland .... those places are something to behold, and they take showers there.

National Guard FiST team attached to a Reg Army Unit (for a combat rotation) doing pre-mobilization training. Wasn't supposed to go but nobody was accounting for us, plus we were going to Anbar to die, so we went to Vegas anyways.
I also have made a few antebellum table legs thanks to c rats...

My first two months in Iraq we had no running water and could only wash up with wet wipes.....

Probably about three days when I had the Flu. It was seriously like I was in a coma. I only ate about 400 calories in 5 days.

Took my first shower in 11 days today.
....What the hell made you go almost two weeks?
And mine was 3 days. It was a trek through Mongolia, and I felt like a god damn bum after that.

3 or 4 days. Either because of camping or surgery. I really hate going more than a day without taking a shower.
If this counts, then I once went nearly a month. Had surgery where they removed bones from my body and I could hardly move. I did have a couple of sponge baths though.

They really do like to ferment a natural scent.
When I went so long, we still used wash cloths and stuff to do sponge baths. They are cleaner along the French Riveria. It's more like the clean countries.

In all honesty, and I don't mean this as racist as it is going to sound, just stating a fact, the hands down nastiest group of people I have ever been around were Bosnians.
This company I worked for in Chickamauga Ga and 2 or 3 others in the area got tax breaks for hiring Bosnians the way a lot of places did for hiring hispanics.
These filthy sonofabitches would work 12 hours a day for 4 days in a row with the same t-shirt on and wouldn't bathe week to week. You could smell them 10 feet away. I asked one once why they did that and he told me that it was their culture. Their women liked "the smell of man" as he put it.

Well the nastiest I've felt was during the Blue Nose Ceremony.
Longest time without a shower was during military training in Maine.

6 days. Our school MADE us go camping/hiking as a class or you had to do an ungodly amount of community service. It was terrible.
