I ask because I am half interested in joining the Navy in a 'Combat Systems' operator kind of role and as such wwould greatly appreciate some insight on what to expect if you are a current or former service man or woman. (They don't actually still have communal showers do they?)

There are thousands of job classifications and most often the person you are describing ends up with the best of them and operates under the best conditions available - get used to the shower thing. Privacy in the military is a luxury that is seldom available. The navy is going to be your worst choice if privacy is an issue - you will find that all space is a luxury and it is utilized to the max. You don't get privacy until your a whole lot older, wiser, and have scrambled eggs on your hat.
