      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 років тому +25

      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.

Mine and battle's bunk. Our shit was sitting there as pristine as we'd left it: Squared as fuck away, left as an example for the others. Then like three days later EVERYONE got tossed just because...

    My mom makes her bed this way. She taught me how to do it when I was younger and I was supposed to make my bed like it every morning after I got out of bed. I eventually stopped when I was a teenager. I honestly had no idea it was the military way until a few months ago.

  • @richardstephens5147

    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.

    Hate to admit this but I failed navy boot camp 4 years ago because of this shit literally, I had no trouble with the screaming and pressure, swimming, or exercises but embarrassingly my whole crew kept getting punished because of me and a few other guys like the last three weeks of boot camp, I have the fuck up and got out, I hate myself now and I hate looking back at this failed moment in my life, fuck even folding the clothes a certain way was such a pain in the ass. I didn’t want to get sent back in another division or have my team hate me so I felt like I had no other choice. Good luck to those who are joining though you can do it

  • @paulready8897

    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.

    Trust me guys. You can make your bed just as perfect as this guy did in this video and they still will find something wrong with it. Don't bother practicing because they will never be satisfied.

    They test the tightness they get a coin and if they drop it and it doesnt bounce off then its not tight enough and they tear your sheets off and make you redo it lmao

    I went through basic and AIT, and I still couldn't grasp the concept. Seems easy enough, except when a Drill Sergeant is screaming at you to make your bed, shit, shower and shave before O dark 30 PT.

    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.
