Oh, and don't forget teamwork, teamwork, teamwork.

I talked to a guy from the S. African military, who said the only way to get through barracks inspections in basic was to divvy the work up between everyone -- one guy makes all the beds, one guy folds all the socks and underwear, one guy does the floors, etc. He said that just when they figured out all the tricks, the inspectors would pull out something new -- checking the top of the lightbulbs for dust, sliding an index card in the crack between the baseboards and the floorboards to see if there's any dirt. At the beginning, with everyone making their own bed, folding their own socks, etc, there was no way they could get everything done.

All I can say is good luck. I don't think I could make it through -- I seem to get attitude when I'm yelled at and told what to do.
