considering the extreme pressure they are under daily (in war), they can do whatever the FOOK they want to create levity IMHO.
VirgilTheGuide
As a Sailor, I kept Mario Kart sheets on my rack. Wouldn't do it any other way.
WordofDJ
Here's mine:
JaegerBombster
I got the Disney Princess sheets blanket and pillows for my roommate. He actually kept them though so good on him
PackardGoose
I had Mario Brothers on one deployment
gr0gdor
I had a ninja turtle bed spread when I deployed
Slickdrac
Hmm. I did as well. If it was at TQ, we apparently are bedsheet buddies. Not sure if that's awesome or weird.
HisBabes
Soldiers see horrific things in shitty places. If these give them comfort, feel close to home & help them rest I don't see the problem.
craggyp
this is actually probably from initial training, designed to get a laugh out of the instructors. as long as it was in regulation, it was ok
NuckinFutz13
Don't ask. Don't tell.
seeyoulaternavigator
WTH! Where's Captain America! Get with the program.

Duh! He's Top Secret. It would give away his secret identity.

He's got the Spiderman set.
SirFormidio
When you let soldiers choose each others bedsheets*
MAYORofTITTYciti
No, we choose sheets like these ourselves.
ElectricSpinDizzy
Pretty sure this is Fort Gordon and number 4 is mine. This was almost five years ago during AIT.
skidamarink17
Theyes actually do it so people don't steal their shit.
zippycat
So? Think about it a majority of them are still TEENAGERS! They are kids. Let them have something.
ReaperCDN
I've got a Hello Kitty pillow that comes with me whenever I'm on exercise. Pink towel too. Easy to identify, hard to steal.
NothingButReactionGifs
Get the fuck out my face if you don't think that's the raddest shit ever!
MrTylerWpg
I'm getting shot at? Fuck you I'm sleeping with Tinkerbell tonight.
firebug24
It is because most twin sized sheets carried by the Exchange are for kids... plus you usually can't put stuff up on the walls so you (1)
firebug24
have to put some personality into the room in the ways that you can.
NotTimon
You should see them dress themselves. We have a uniform for a reason ladies and gentlemen.
Buzzkiller191
This works pretty good as a distraction from inspection, worked best for me; fish tank. Nobody ever got past the tank to look at my stuff.

We had a tiny cactus for months. Near the end of the task (and our time in shacks) the Sgt-Maj inspects. We get written up, soil too dry.
Bradandboujee
Buddy has a 70 inch TV. 1SG inspected, and all he said was "I bet boobies look really big on that". Didn't check anything else. Lol
waiwode
Mostly our non-course shacks are pretty low key. Is it clean? Tidy? Not "inspection grade." But when guys screw up, they bring the heat.
o11c
No combat-ready cactus has *ever* passed inspection.
waiwode
Truer words have never been typed.
Buzzkiller191
That's the problem with Smajs, no sense of humor. Especially when they hae a degree in horticulture.
AMMOROAD
I had TMNT sheets on mine
commentisrelevant
Can confirm, the guy opposite me right now has pokemon sheets. Will have to up the game with my little pony or something NSFW
biohazard918
Why not both?
commentisrelevant
NSFW + my little pony? What kinda of shit you into? send me an image and i'll get it printed onto my sheets
TinyKobold
Do ponies, for some reason it pisses people off XD
Hornfwl
We used to do that so people wouldn't steal our stuff as easily.
SpaceGigolo
I can verify this
thor0486
I was listening to a podcast of a seriously badass soldier who was in it thick and he described how his squad got super into gilmore girls.

Ira talks to Luke Huisenga, a Marine sniper who became a fan of Gilmore Girls while on deployment in Iraq. First 11 minutes.
OperatorCypher
I can't stand that show, the constant blah blah blah makes me want to punch babies in the face.. Ohh is that why they watch it
thor0486
I'm not a fan of that show either. He explains why he watches it. It started as a joke that weirded at their old school C.O. Then it
thor0486
became something more like an anchor to something back home. Also...Zero women where they were deployed. so that.
Imixmywhiskeywithmilk
There's only one thief in the military. Everyone else is just trying to get their shit back.
IAmNotTheLaw
Or it's annual training and the only twin sheets you have are the kids'
Blitzen15
It was very popular on overseas deployments to bring the children's sheets.

Guard reserve for the win
MrOakTree86
andrewtater
The beret in #1 has no DUI (unit pin in the blue part). He is still in army job training, and those are probably sheets from his mom's house
IAmNotTheLaw
The joys of AIT
andrewtater
Plus 3 pics have gray PT shirts hung up, also a sign of job training. They are required to hang them up after PT so they don't sit in a pile
andrewtater
Also, females in barracks are often put on the 3rd floor so that the guard can keep guys out of their area, hence 318G on Tink's bed
IAmNotTheLaw
The neatly tied barracks bag in 1 is also a giveaway
KloDar
Do you know how hard it is to find "adult" sheets for a twin bed?
whatupmyknitters
target sells them, they're usually the dorm-friendly Room Essentials brand there.

I served 20 yrs navy. Sub service. My sheets were always powepuff girls until they told us we couldn't. Fire hazard.
ZoidbergIsGreat
How would one set of sheets be more of a risk than another? Do they give you flame retardant sheets? Because those sound uncomfortable.
RedRiderCarbineAction200ShotRangeModelAirRifle
No idea. They made us use what's called a cpo spread. It was uncomfortable as hell. I just went to Walmart and got my own sheets tht matched
Momomo08
Damn that Mojo Jojo burning your sheets!
dasarsch
Can I ask what kind of subs you were on?
dweadpiewitwobbits
I bet it was long and hard and full of seamen.

RedRiderCarbineAction200ShotRangeModelAirRifle
Fast boat and boomer.
dasarsch
Damn that's cool. What was you favourite class?
RedRiderCarbineAction200ShotRangeModelAirRifle
The ssbn was easier, but no ports. The 688 saw a lot more action, but much harder work. It's all about the people tho.
RedRiderCarbineAction200ShotRangeModelAirRifle
And the ssbn had a much better crew. Both were good in their own ways.

Oh sorry, cat jumped on keyboard. What i meant to say was soldiers cant have their favourite sheets? XD

Sure they can. And people forget that they are essentially freshmen in the only college that pays you to work out and shoot guns
Vaflukongurin
Sorry I don't speak drunk Scots

As a soldier, our job is to make whoever inspects our room uncomfortable... The noisier the better!
chargeling
Looool, gotta keep this in mind. Is there a body-pillow-like bedsheet version of My Little Pony?
kunkuno
That's too far
ImNotIronMan
I feel like every soldier in the barracks owns one gigantic dildo just for this purpose.
HummelLV
Well, in the end it's a dildo anyway, so you still sure it's only for that purpose?
Vaflukongurin
Not a soldier, but if I was forced to let someone stick their nose in my things... I would do the same.
andrewtater
After you've had to inspect soldier's barracks rooms and do home visits, nothing shocks you
andrewtater
1? /PS the home visit is because a 19 year old kid in their own apartment for the first time can screw himself over
andrewtater
2/? Especially if he doesn't realize what a landlord is legally required to provide. I've had to help a guy fill out maintenance forms
andrewtater
6/6 that PVT can sleep in if there is a big fight. Walk away, call me, and I'll let you sleep in an army bed. Better than the drunk tank
andrewtater
5/? they can call me and I will ALWAYS come by to help things. Better me than the cops, and there is a "cool down" room in the barracks
andrewtater
4/? so that they know if they have a major issue they have a phone number they can call to get help. If PVT gets drunk and violent,
andrewtater
3/? b/c he didn't know that it was his landlord's job to fix certain things. And you get face time with his family
IthinkImightknow
1) Best time to have a laugh is during a barracks inspection, once tucked in a blow up doll (inflated) in my sheets but it wasn't my
IthinkImightknow
2) squad leader and section sgt checking me but my First Sgt, Cpt, platoon sgt, and platoon ldr, pretty much my chain of command
dav3nasty
We had a marine display his coin collection with a ballsy letter asking for one from the colonel visiting during inspections.
IthinkImightknow
Did he get one
Dovahnein

ProbablyDrunkAgain
We bought a box of Depends for one of the guys in my class because he shit his dress whites during inspection. He took one out, tried (1)
ProbablyDrunkAgain
it on and left it on his bunk. That afternoon we had a surprise inspection, and Seaman Weiner (no shit that was his name) had to explain (2)
ProbablyDrunkAgain
to the company commanders what was going on. Fortunately SN Weiner was a bit of a comedian and had the chiefs rolling after telling (3)
ProbablyDrunkAgain
his story. "SN WEINER!! DID YOU SHIT YOURSELF!!" "NEGATIVE CHIEF!!" or "AYE-AYE CHIEF" became the comedy routine for Friday inspections.

As someone who spent considerable time in hospital I despise hospital corners, they make the bed covers too tight to get into easily.

SnarkyScience
Why is that a regulation I wonder?
Quizz25S
It isn't. But it is part of training that instills discipline. Once soldiers get out of training "standards" are much more relaxed.
feeltheice
What a regulation? Ask and I'll provide an answer
SnarkyScience
Making beds? I assume it has to do something with maintaining appearances of order and neatness.
craggyp
precisely. also, discipline, and the ability to follow orders and adhere to standards. that being said, when I was in training, we (1/2)
craggyp
were allowed to buy our own sheets/blankets when we got to a certain point. the only requirement was that it be neat and made properly (2/2)
feeltheice
So that one is a fun one. It is not an actual regulation in the Marines. It is ordered by our DI's in bootcamp and during training. Other
feeltheice
than that. at the BEQ you fall under BEQ orders/rules. Depending on rules from Base Commander and on down.. That's how your allowed to live
