!!MUST SEE!! Survive Basic Training // Learn To Make A Military Bunk !!WOW!! 

And after we make these perfect beds, we take our sleeping bags and sleep on the floor so we dont fail inspection LOL

I'm gonna get smoked LMFAO

I honestly grew up making my bed this way. My moms always called it "hospital folding" but I also have retired marines in my family so that's probably where she learned it from.

this makes me want to sleep on the floor

I remember coming back to the barracks from training only to see almost every single bed on the floor or flipped sideways, boots laying everywhere, etc... Every bed but the two in one bunk. 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...

We had some trainees try to sleep atop the blankets as to not disturb their covers, but our Drill Sergeants would simply come through in the middle of the night and tell those who did to get beneath their covers.

you gotta do this really fast while have to take a piss really badly, you'll probably try to sleep while covering yourself with the dust cover as to not disturb the mattress haha

about 10 min if i remember correctly, and your bunk mate has to do it too, so if you finish yours early, help him with his

looking back on all these tip videos, it doesn't really matter if you know it or not. Everyone is gonna learn it at basic, yeah it's nice to get a head start BUT it's not life or death if you don't know how to make a bed before basic

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.

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.

Its an art.

I’m already getting smoked before I get there 🤦🏾‍♀️😂

Ahh those good ol 45’s. Went to boot a couple years ago. Got hurt stayed in RCU for 16 weeks before I could resume my training. Those 45’s are seared into my mind lol

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.

Annnnnd this is where I know I'm going get smoked by my drill instructor.

Thanks for this! I'm leaving for encampment in a week and this was my biggest worry!

They will destroy me at basic

We scored some extra blankets and slept on top of the covers. Just had to give them a little tug here and there to get them looking good. Also slept in our togs so we could fall out asap in the morning.

I had to do this at the academy every Monday morning. It wasn't just me, either. I had the guy on the bottom bunk trying to do his as we were rushing to get it done before formation. We didn't even have to sleep in the beds as we were not required to stay there, but they wanted then made each Monday morning.

He makes it look so easy but it's gotta be something to get use to.

At that point I’m just sleeping on top of all of it 😂

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

Great work

Like many we too slept on top to speed up things in the morning. I recall we had one blanket, it was gray and 100% wool so scratchy haha. You learned to deal with it as you were so tired when you finally got to hit the rack.

I appreciate this when I understood it's purpose. It's not only to look neat IMO, it also is wrinkle free if done correctly. This leads to "attention to detail", because you will know if someone tampered with it. From sitting down to placing a pair of shoes on top of the bed.

I'm OCD so make my bed like this for fun. It's so satisfying when every thing is all smooth. 😌😌

This video was helpful

The longest 3 minutes and 36 seconds of my life

My time in basic training, once I got that down pack, I just slept on it so the next day I just gotta make sure smooth

Those were the days!

Good old days. I was in the Army, in the early 1990's. In this video, I see the name of platoon: 'Spartans'. Mine was 'Outlaws'.

In 2003 I slept on top of my perfectly made bunk….. had boot blousers underneath pulling the covers extra tight and I had a extra dust cover I kept in the ceiling tiles😂🤣😂 never got caught🙌🏾 but I did get caught with my CD player during a shakedown 🤦🏾‍♂️😅🤣

What a mission ...

I'm going to staple my bed this way to my bunk

The way we were taught was a little different but it came out the same my ds showed us a easier way

Im enlisting in October never had a bedbefore ive never had to use this before thanks for the video

I don’t have any plans on joining the military or anything. I think this is just cool

I got to remember this for boot camp

once it's made sleep on top with just the dust cover so it's already made in the morning just have to straighten it out a bit

Holy Shit that's DS Medders, he was my DS back in 09 (the guy talking, not the dark green DS)

Gets a temper-pedicure commercial on this video Me: „Yeah right“

Nice.

I've wrapped birthday presents with less effort and precision than this. 😂

We learned how to do this in Heath occupation at school

There was always that one guy that no matter what could make a dang rack correctly

Now that is satisfying.

How do you fold the towels that goes on the railing of the bunk bed? I'm going to JROTC Camp next week and do not know how to do it.

That rack may be good for Basic, but would not pass inspection in an Infantry unit. Those hospital corners sucked and the dust cover was not S.O.P. We used an iron, starch and blousing bands to make a proper rack and I sleep on the floor in my sleeping bag. Much easier at first call.

Aren't you supposed to take out a 50-cent coin and flip it on to the rack? If the rack's tautness is correct, then the coin is supposed to bounce at least about 2 inches high.

I love it. I’ll put it on loop and go to sleep. Haaa

Well I should watch this 30 times so I know how when I join the marines. Haha

Thats funny, my oldest brother would make us make our beds like this.

+Daniel Coran I know someone who was in the national gaurd and he had tattoos on his hands and arms.

how much time do u get to do this in the morning at navy basic? seems like it'll take as while lol

lol he's wearing a pt vest xD

Somehow it turned into ASMR looking at him smoothing out any wrinkles

What dust cover?! I’ve been RSP through ALC and was never issued one.

How much time do they give you to make the bed?

damn yankees you got it easy best regards the finnish army

Ha ha, plenty wrinkles left to see 👀 🤣 at the end

After about the 3rd morning nun of us slept under our blankets just used our woobie so you just have to make minor spot corrections 👌🏾

You can cheat and put boot blouses on the bottom of the bed so it will never move :)

I slept on top of mine when i was in ait

Do they teach you this in RSP?

I recently went underway on a ship as a civilian contractor, and had never been before. The guy across from me had his bunk made this way, mine was horrible.

I won't never mess my bed at all.

Im gonna get chewed for this

wow people say that they will sleep on the floor because this takes too long & for my childhood I had to do that every time I go to sleep & wake up.

Why is he wearing a reflective vest?

how long do they give you ?

hell: imagine waking up at 5 am on a 10degree day having to walk to school 2 miles to take 4 finals but before you leave you must make this military style bed first and youre already late as it is

How's it going?

is this possible with just the mattress on the floor? no frame

I remember people sleeping on top of their bed so they wouldn't have to make their bed every morning. Just a quick smoothing over

I’m ready start practicing this with a sheet on my bed whew chile

Sleep above the covers

Who else was a kid of a military parent and had to do their beds like this??? Lol just me? Okay. Haha my mind is blown with how it’s now normal for me to do this since I was little and didn’t realize my mom inherited this from the army.

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.

It's like origami but with blankets.

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

I don't think I could get this down lol

You do it like once and thats it never have to do it again

do they teach you this in basic or are you expected to know by heart?

and how much time do they have to make this perfect bunk? aahaha

Part of me would just sleep outside. What’s the point of all this if when you’re at war there’s no beds to be comfortable in. Honest question, I’d feel like I’d rather set up a sent and sleep on dirt.

Yep, im definitely getting smoked for this😂

Do you have a buddy that helps you? Because I see Air Force they have two people helping each other making their bed

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

barracks armi f ail card corridor pei speed bed

How else is here so they don’t get smoked later?

Can't learn to make a bed if you don't sleep on one

Wait whaaaaaat?

Why don't they just use fitted sheet on the bottom to make it easier? lol

This is what I’m most scared of tbh...

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.

can one just sleep on top of their bed ?

thats exakliy how my bed looks

Anyone else getting destroyed at basic?

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.
