I hope you meant feet and not inches! ;D

I was just questioning
I have been informed that space is limited for each individual and cannot see how people would have room for it.
Thank you for the response and I hope that everyone here listens to you.

Although it is unlocked for inspection (all your locks must be on your desk), our DS never opened those little cubbies to look at what is inside. Just don't forget to lock it when you go out.
jacksparrow said:Mine was not the padlock type, it just had a key to lock it. I always locked it for inspection and never got asked to open it, even during the captain and commandant's inspection.
I am not condoning this to the newbies though. Like I said my first few inspections were impressive and they just thought am not a person to worry about.

I'm convinced that the instructors like it when candidates have a shadow kit for inspections because it makes life easier both for us and for them.
hey can charge you. Hygiene is serious business in basic training. A shadow kit is an absolute must. Trust me on this.
At the end of it, I was eating 2 and 3 desserts some meals just to get some fat on my body. It didn't work.
romeokilo said:Fellas, don't cheat okay? You are going into the CF hopefully wanting this to be your #&#&@^ career! If they are paying you to iron your clothes and keep your room clean and everything in it clean, why wouldn't you? Believe me, the best militaries in the world have always been the most disciplined. Don't lie, don't cheat, just do what they say.
Frostnipped Elf said:Piper,
Cutting corners can become a deadly obsession - for you and your trenchmates. You will never be done with the BS because you will either be leading or following throughout your career, no one gets to ride for free.
Piper said:And by BS I meant standing by your bunks inspections and all that other BS you go through during you initial phases of training.
Please, do explain who else's life (other than your own) did you make easier by having a secret shadow/ghost inspection kit?Piper said:I take issue with the attitudes of some posters (the one I quoted) that making your life easier on inspections somehow makes you unsuitable for service in the CF, it doesn't. I'd rather serve with someone who knows how to make theirs (and everyone else's) life easier then someone with an anal-retentive goodie-two-shoes attitude (that I doubt said poster follows anyways).
Piper said:And by BS I meant standing by your bunks inspections and all that other BS you go through during you initial phases of training. There's plenty of other BS to go around later (and don't I know it, already, sigh).
romeokilo said:You have what is it now, six million posts on this website? And you never even finished BMOQ. And you decided that instead of learning the values of discipline, it was a far better option to cheat and lie your way to being an officer. I am actually glad you didn't make it. I do not want you as a fellow officer, because I can never trust you to not lie/cheat or slime your way around.
And while I am here, I noted that you said you could not keep up with the training and your weight loss, and decided to eat extra desserts to stay above water. Think about that again: they have all kinds of meals with nutritional value, and you (as an officer candidate, who is supposed to make smart decisions in the field) chose desserts over full courses. Of course it's not going to work.

I don't know where I said I chose desserts over full courses. I ate very nutritionally, actually. Salads with every meal. Lots of whole grains and fruit.
Go ahead and make more assumptions here about me and my potential as a leader, though. With every word you type, you give insight to others about your own.
Have a good day.

Hate to be the party pooper, but I think you just proved his point about your diet.
You can't put on weight with salads, grains and fruits.

NFLD Sapper said:Not to disagree with you George, Celtic failed to tell us what her main meals where. She only stated that in addition to the main meal she took salads, whole grains, and fruit.
This is how I read it.
