Please, not "Sir" I was an NCO. I might have to get you directions on folding fitted sheets - I actually figured it out!! One of the secrets is .... you have to hold your face just right ...

Oh barefoot only on the beach, the sand is a natural abrasive that keeps the feets nice and smooth. 
Roger that x_sf, and yes...our "research" budget for footware might need to be expanded but I am a good penny pincher when it comes to the actual spending...budget control and all that.
m1....LOL! Took me a while to master the fold; follow TS's links. I do it just like the first example.

Thanks TR! I use method 1 myself, just like Gypsy. Have you ever thought of starting your own TV show - "The Special Forces Household Hints and Unconventional Warfare Seminar" - think of the audience appeal!!!
And how did we get from regime overthrow to folding sheets? Nice hijack of a hijack m1- multiple style points - and you got the answers you wanted!!
Amendment, and apologies.
I was gently reminded by one of our executive shoe mavens that I should have thanked TS not TR for the bedsheet folding posts - I should have rrealized, it is the Team Daddy that knows everything about everything - apologies are proferred, and I will do pennance. That run in 100 degree heat is really going to suck.

They issue fitted sheets now? Does that mean they use real beds?

If you would care to volunteer with LL, Blue and Gypsy on their committees - just ask them, I'm sure they'd welcome the help - esp. in the shoe department.

Have you not heard, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" ? ( def. SCORN: an emotion involving both anger and disgust).
And might I also remind you of something you may have learned from your brothers in arms, back in the day, "Paybacks are a b*tch!"
(Only 6 women so far and he can't keep it straight and he can't keep 'em happy . Jeesh !)

LOL the hand wave, is that like the Queen of England's?
RC, I don't think x_sf forgot you at all! As one of the Co-ChairLadies of Education, Culinary Arts, Etiquette and Philosophy you have your work cut out for you and I have a feeling we'll all be pitching in...working like little hens under your expert tutelage.
Now, where's my shiny red apple...

Ya know, in the other 49 states, there's these things called beds. They've got a nice soft rectangular portion on top. Said fitted sheet fits around this portion so you don't have a wrinkled bunched up sheet under you.
Ya oughta try it sometime.

What's he gonna do with all the XX tourists they're hoping to enjoy down there? Not to mention the local gals...
Ya know, I can really see how these gents are really in need of our help!
Let's see maybe our first task as CoChairLadies of Education is a pop quiz! Who can spell 'etiquette' correctly? So, what's the penalty gonna be, Mr. x_sf_med? 
(might regret all these titles you're handing out!)

LOL! Bought a couple of scones from my favorite bakery on Saturday (apple and blueberry mmm!) and thought I'd have one today....but in this heat I should have refrigerated them. Little fuzzies everywhere.

"Gunner - even though you are the machinist, you will report to Bill H. and FS - all machining will fall under Bladesmithing and Armory"
Bill...Yes! FS??? Do I have to?? At least Bill and I have the communication skills honed already. I don't want to have to be machining some new type of tactical dress high heals. Plus don't forget I do have the skills with the BBQ. Anyone got a lead of a pile of babyback ribs?

Yes Mam, My wife civilized me, But I was wondering about the military. When I was active duty, we called it the Rack. Our DIs spent quality time with us so we could do a "hospital fold"/ tight square corners and cover.
