Clothes Roll in boot camp - Great Lakes, IL

There are three ways to fold clothes according to the boot camp company commander, "Your way, the Navy way, and MY WAY." By rolling and folding clothing in this unique way, a seaman was able to fit all of their Navy issue into a single sea bag (upper left). Blouse, trouser, skivvies, etc would come out just as neat as they went in....or that's the theory at least.
