A Mom Kinda Question

Just curious.. after looking at photos and videos from the webguy out at Jack's Valley, how do the cadets get those ABUs clean again?? Do the cadets do their laundry? That is some SERIOUS dirt and grim.

Did you see the picture of them hosing off? I guess that's a start! I'm guessing they have some really strong detergent out there. I'd like to find out what it is!

I read where they like for us to send them underwear after jacks because of all the mud.

There clothes are washed regularly. They will have laundry service all year during the 4* year.

The underwear thing is important to many. Do not be surprised by that request. The females will often want to ditch the "Grannie Panties" for some of the more popular and Ugh....trendier under garments....

Are you saying some of them like to have a secret like Victoria does?

As the father of a female cadet, I don't even like to think about it. Left to me Walmart and the BX would be sold out of grannie panties for the next couple of decades.

That said do not be surprised by such request since it will be the only way for them to maintain any individuality for the next 9 months.
