They called it, "not getting KP for a month."

My grandson is a 1st year cadet at the AF Academy and is sleeping with his head at the foot of his bunk, in his clothes, on top of the blankets because they have 5 minutes to be up in the AM and ready for inspection, which includes the way the bed is made judged by ruler!

We didn’t get rewards, it was REQUIRED by everyone. If you didn’t measure up, you were punished by embarrassment and humiliation at a minimum.

At a morning inspection, my chief instructor grabbed my white hat (held out for inspection) and asked “What did you do, piss in it?”

My hat was damp from perspiration, We were after all standing at attention on the blacktop in the hot Florida sun, so he let me slide.
