Sleeps in PT uniform if possible, on top of the covers.
Basic Training is all about doing things fast. The drill sergeants are going to give you impossible tasks in impossible time frames, fully knowing there’s no possible way you can succesfully complete them. Every morning, you’ll be expected to wake up, make your rack, conduct personal hygine and be outside in formation ready for PT all within 5 minutes. Sleeping in PT’s and not under the covers will buy you extra time during those hectic mornings.
