1:00 At this point just sleep on a perfectly made bed, and use a comforter as a blanket. When it's inspection , just fold the comforter and stow in in the closet.

[@stephenjensen4734]

A lot of people pin down the sheets so it's always perfectly made, or they just sleep on the ground.

[@trapbois4573]

It saved me so much time sleeping on the made bed. However if we knew there was inspections i would redo the bed.

[@oscarpruet629]

@@trapbois4573 I just slept on top of my rack under a blanket. And I never wore the clothes I had carefully folded.

If you toss and turn it messes it up though unfortunately. My bunk got fucked up a lot in basic because of it lmao

Link two boot bands together underneath the rack x2. Gets the rack tighter than a ****.

Good stuff. Learning the aspects of paying attention to every detail so when the time comes for the real stuff like leading people, guiding a submarine, flying a fighter jet, etc., these people are ready. It all starts here.

[@tiffanesmith7482]

I remember doing room inspections at the marine corps and navy barracks

[@headballs12]

PBMS123 3 medals worn by the midshipmen in the video: red/yellow = National Service Defense Medal, rated by all active military personnel since 9/11. Midshipmen are considered a form of active duty. Middle ribbon (navy blue and green) = rifle marksmanship ribbon. Outer ribbon (navy blue and green) = pistol marksmanship ribbon. All plebes undergo firearms training during their initial 6 week summer "boot camp", providing an opportunity to earn either Marksman, Sharpshooter, or Expert qualification on both the 9mm pistol and M-16 rifle. Only the Expert qualification is an actual medal for firearms training, the others are worn as only ribbons.

[@heli-crewhgs5285]

Thank you for explaining this.

[@philipavada]

No longer will they get the National Defense Service Medal. Its an end of an era and truly mixed thoughts.

[@mofo7689]

at least get the details right if you are going to talk. The dark blue ribbons are not the same. The PISTOL RIBBON has 2 green lines on the edges. The RIFLE RIBBON has an additional vertical green stripe in the center.

[@justafanintexas7913]

And there's the 1st Classmen that would enter your room right before the inspection, keep you at attention and rough the room up on you, stepping out just as the inspection begins. One of them did it one time too many. I waited for my chance, purchased a bottle of skunk juice and lobbed it in his room just before inspection.

in 1991 the first several were just that. Nobody passed.... ever. As the year went on they become more about attention to detail.

going through the USNA is not impressive. What is done because of that accomplishment is what makes you. What prompted me me change rank structures was a new 1stLt performing a USMC IG Alphas inspection and claiming dust on the EGA buttons and inside the nameplate letter grooves in an attempt to claim attention to detail. 30 yrs of service retired that started Nov 1983.

​@@johnfilippone7410 Bruh, the naval academy is for preparing officers in the active duty Navy. Being super strict at a military prep school for middle schoolers does not make you better than that "clown". Being a cadet officer is about learning leadership and taking care of your people, not flexing how powerful or strict you are.
