      Won't do any good, if they find you didn't sleep in your bed they will toss it for you, along with everybody else's bed that was made that morning and have everyone make their beds again. There is always that one smartaleck that sleeps on top and screws it up for everybody as well, at least once.

      @FoolishDoug 9 лет назад +27

      jfresko10 It's not about how you sleep, it's about not wanting to make your bed so you sleep on top of it or on the floor to preserve the bed. Toss your bed before nightly inspection, re-make it when everyone else does in the morning.
      It saves everybody in the barracks an interruption and extra work that could have been avoided.

  • @richardstephens5147
    @richardstephens5147 6 лет назад +82

    Okay do this while lights are still out in the morning. You have your bunk mate still asleep cause no bed is open out in the middle as most beds are pressed against the back of a wall locker so 9 times out of 10 you will have to move your bed out while your battle buddy is sleeping. The pillow doesn't always flattened. Our bunk beds didn't have closed edges on the beds as more of a open however we did have a personal locker beneath the bed. Oh yes try sleeping on the floor at night or on top of the covers or using another extra cover and enjoy the front leaning rest position as the drill Sergeant will do check ups at night with the fireguard team. Welcome to BCT.

  • @paulready8897
    @paulready8897 2 года назад +9

    Looks different than the way I learned in boot camp 1978. We folded the blanket into a square and placed it at the foot end, then took the edge of the top layer and folded it back at a 45 so that it formed a triangle. Also used only one sheet with equal hangover at the head and feet, and the sides. Then you tuck the ends, then the sides to make the hospital corners. For the pillow we folded the open end on top of the pillow and made triangles on the two sides of the folds.

    Sometimes I sleep on the floor just so I don't have to do it in the morning

    I would have made my bed faster than that. I learned bedmaking techniques in a boarding convent school which the nuns ran like an army.
