When in the Air Farce, I was in a year-long Electronics school, which was GOOD! The BAD part came about because the Airmen were treated like BASIC recruits - meaning, a lot of chicken-do-do baby things to keep us occupied on the afternoons after classes like meaningless marching, shining shoes endlessly, and being inspected at ANY time for a PERFECTLY-made bed. And the sheets were cheap and made of rough cloth.
.......So, our solution was to work very hard and make the bed perfectly TIGHT. So tight that you could bounce a coin off of it. Then, at "lights out" time, we would sleep on top of the blanket with a 2nd blanket which we hide in our footlocker. In the morning we would be able to pass any inspection just by tightening up the bed. Very convoluted, but it worked. I might present this as a suggestion to anyone in TV Land that NEEDS tight sheets.
.....Post Script ....It was a long year and made me HATE the Air Farce right from the "get-go"! Needless to say, I never intended to "re-up" after that 1st taste of bureaucratic BS. And The Air Farce spent a lot of money to give me electronics knowledge and they say they lose money on TRAINED "troopers" that leave after their 1st 4 years.
