  • Roll socks like a pro!
    I remember in basic training, there were four or five people who knew how to roll/fold each inspectable item. So you'd drop off your clothes at each station (and work at a station yourself) and everyone's clothes would be rolled/folded perfectly. Just another hint for BMT!

    And I thought I stressed about socks!😂 I just finished matching and stacking up the socks of my 6 babies! Now I'm working on my husband's and I remembered how my brother organized his socks so I searched for this video. Next, it'll be how to fold the t-shirts.

      I came here from how to fold boxers cuz I’m tired of re-folding and organizing my man’s drawer. Every-time I do laundry I fight the urge to empty it before putting his things away.

    "For the visual learners"- and he proceeds to show, visually, the important bits to complete it. Well done, and thank you for thinking about how your audience can best learn the new skill. :)

    I think you should do more instructional videos like this. I think it helps many people. You should do one on how to roll some of the other articles of clothing like shirts.

    Thank you so much for this. I am in the process of training and losing weight to enlist. I'm not there yet but I'm learning as MUCH as I can BEFORE going so that I do things somewhat correct in BMT. I have a long way to go so I have plenty of time to practice. :) You have inspired me to start folding all my clothes like the Air Force ^^

    If all the world's military folded their socks, t-shirts and bed sheets in this manner, we wouldn't have any wars. Too busy to fight!!

    I was searching how to fold Navy clothes for my son and came across this. It looks like the Navy roll video I saw but tighter and more to my standard. Great job! Hope to see more of your videos even though my son is probably going Navy. I would still like to have him see an Air Force Recruiter. Thank you for your service young man and God bless you. Letty

    Spectacular!! I have 100 pairs of socks for daytime and another 20 for night time. Inside the house, outside the house. Summer and colder times (I live in Southern California, winter is 3 days, fall lasts a week and spring is most of the time when it isn't summer.) My socks fill an entire drawer. With this technique I can make better use of extra space. Thank you very much! ☺️🤗

    They must have a lot of free time in the military before they pack to go somewhere that they have that much time to roll up socks for half an hour

    • @IndependentBear
      @IndependentBear Před 3 lety

      Nope. In basic, things like that come out of the few minutes of free time you have in the barracks before lights out. You learn to be fast!

    • @Beery1962
      @Beery1962 Před 3 lety +1

      Yeah. Good to know our tax dollars are being spent wisely. Although I guess the more time the military spends making sure underwear is rolled tightly, the less time they can spend bombing school buses and hospitals while keeping the world safe for Halliburton and Exxon-Mobil.

    Imma say you’re a Virgo Colonel. 10+ minutes on socks? I will add to your ten with a tip for older socks (for those of us out on the flight line).
    You can lay the socks on top of each other 🧦 (just like the emoji) and roll them in line. It’s a bit lumpier but faster and easier with older socks.

    • @Beery1962
      @Beery1962 Před 3 lety +1

      The US military budget is currently $715 billion. They can probably issue replacement socks daily. Keeping military personnel busy doing useless tasks is probably far more important than keeping socks in a usable state.

    Why is one sock longer than the other?

    • @Beery1962
      @Beery1962 Před 3 lety

      Because this method stretches out one sock more than the other and ends up destroying the socks by overstretching the elastic.
