does this stretch out the bottom of the shirt if you store it a long time? I tried this on all my tshirts once, and found it very handy for going through my tshirts without unraveling other folded shirts, but i started worrying that it would permanently stretch out the bottom of the shirt (from that tuck at the end).
Thanks for the video! I was just looking to save space for my trip and I remembered a long time ago my ex's brother telling me that the army taught him some great space saving methods to folding clothes but I completely forgot how to do it (or maybe its just he never showed me.) :)
thank you so much - my boyfriend showed me how once and I completely forgot lol And I don't know what military component kode1303 is part of so I can't comment on that style of training - but it is ignorant to say that American soldiers are robots. American soldiers aren't robots. They are soldiers, and damn good ones. I'm sure you are too, regardless of whether or how you roll your shirts. But please don't knock our men and women or our training.
wow thanks! this was really helpful, because im planning on going with either air force or army, and im pretty sure both make you do this, so now i can practice beforehand :)
I still roll and they did teach us this in basic because you had to do it AT PERMANENT PARTY! This isn't just for deployment it is so that each and every soldier is uniform with the next. You have the exact same thing in your pack as the next guy. So if it's needed (or sadly uneeded) you know what you have with you. Which army were you in?
ive been in over 7 years and they taught us this stuff in basic and when i have to live in a military facility such as a barracks or CHU (composite housing unit) during a deployment i still choose to organize my stuff this way. I think it looks better and is easier to pack up if you have to but it really seems to creep people out during room inspections that i still keep my stuff that way. I roll my shirts socks and underwear and sort them all out.
Hmmmh this would be good for packing anytime, especially for backpacking, which is probably the closest I'll ever be to in the army. Thanks for the tip !
oh man that brings back the memories... all of us sitting around wondering why Tshirts have to be this way, and why socks rolled that way, and why this, why that.. etc... hahaha =)
Really good vid! I roll everything like that lol WE had to roll everything like that in basic. Underwear, socks, shirts, etc....but that was a while ago not sure if they still have the same standards.
1987bamf, I'm sorry that people on YouTube are so politically correct that they feel the need to criticize everything about you, The Army, and The United States of America. I, for one, appreciate you making this video because I did not know how to do this. I ship out in July as an IT specialist so thanks for helping me stay ahead of the game by learning stuff like this.
Damn.. you would think if your gonna make a "how to" video.. you would atleast have a better angle of the shirt.. and not yourself.. and go a little slower and show cloeups.. damn, i had to keep rewinding the video and shit like 10 times
You can use the same technique on a lot of things. When I pack for the field, I do this with underwear and socks rolled up inside the shirt, so I have a handy pack when it's time for a quick change.
Back when they issued big green wool blankets, I figured out how to tight roll it into a nice pillow. Maybe one of the reasons I'm divorced, I don't know. :P
They never taught me how to roll a sock, so I just roll them the same way I roll my shirts lol. And I don't know what to do with those PT sweatshirts and sweatpants, so I roll them the same way too.
It's standard. Your shirts have to be this way in US Army Basic Combat Training. Unless you feel like staying up for days, having your things thrown everywhere, and getting bitched out by a drill sergeant.
That's not the point of rolling your shirt. It's the fact you are willing to conform to army standards and it's organization. They want every locker to look the same. They don't want you being a slob and throwing your crap in your locker. If you don't like it all well. Get over it.
Sorry for hurting your feelings ... I spent a year in the army myself, and our lockers were neat and tidy, but we didn't have to do odd stuff. In our army we look more at making a soldier think - not to be a robot like the Americans seem to focus on. Anyway, I wish you a long and happy career ... and keep rolling them T-shirts.
@kode1303 your an idoit. what army would that be? british? french? How would you justify that statement when america is the most powerful nation in the world currently? Thats right you have no evidence to justify your statement id keep your mouth shut before you think your an "army" anyways.
@RnBHybr1d Well, allow me to retort. The US military is the bully of the world - the strongest, but also the most disliked and more muscle than brains. Sorry, but that's how we look at it here in Europe. And how did the US get big? Well, if you look in your history books (I assume you are still in school) you will see that USA earned money on both WWI and WWII basically using the suffering in Europe to get big. When you grow up, you might understand.
@kode1303 well you statement is wrong im enlisted in the united states air force. Europe? lol you guys have brains? In the US were forced to work hard in Europe you sit around drinking all day and getting shit handed to you like your mommys hold your hand. You arent even in the Armed Forces so does that give you a right to talk shit when you dont even know what happens in your own military? I'm 17 and i just owned you at this argument. Go sit there like a fatass and eat a twinky.
@RnBHybr1d btw. Your statement about WWII is invalid US was neutral in the war till Japan attacked. Then the US got involved furthermore the suffering of europe? We profited off working hard. Its called protecting your country. Which your brain is too infused with your cocky know it all intellegence to see that.
@RnBHybr1d Thanks for tha very 'mature' comment. So we have different opinions - we will always think the Americans are rather primitive (still have death penalty, the ancient gun law etc.), and you guys will still shout about how good you are at war because you envy us - remember, all but a few of the scientists making the A-bomb were Europeans. The same with the Apollo program.
@1987bamf Hey, I only reply to comments aimed at me. But OK - if RnBHybr1d and others want to 'shoot' at me - please write a message to me. Signing out.
@kode1303 this is how they train our soldiers? obviousy, if they've been using 'idiotic' behavior to TRAIN our soldiers, then its working? youre retarded if you think this is idiotic. im a thirteen year old girl and i even i know that if this training is working and protecting our nation then its probably nooooot idiotic?

Ya the army doesn't MAKE you roll your clothes they just show you how in case you are deployed and need to save space. If they made you do it then it was probably just your superiors personal preference/way of training.
Yeah, keep that mentality. Not like I ever went to basic training and... I don't know, had our lockers thrown for not being in standard with the SOP.
I LOVE that! Great help to my packing! Thanks!
