Why do soldiers have a quilt all year round, and what to do in winter?

The first thing every soldier who has just enlisted in the army is to learn to tidy up housekeeping, and folding quilts is one of the most important links.

There is a mantra for stacking quilts, called three-point stacking and seven-point repair, the new quilt at the beginning is very difficult to fold, no edges and corners, no stacking marks, it is very difficult to operate, but there are many folds, practice many times a day, usually after the baptism of the recruit company, the quilt will generally be folded in a good way.

I remember that when we first arrived in the army, we poured water on the quilt in order to fold it and quickly prototyp, and we didn't know who said the experience. After being drenched, the quilt cotton will be wet, easy to set, and it is easier to fold, so it is indeed much easier to fold the quilt.

However, at night, I will know that although the weather in Yunnan is not cold, it is still a little unbearable to cover the damp quilt at night.

Once, the captain took the lead in checking our housekeeping, ran to the dormitory, and then smelled rancid, and later found out about the situation.

Generally speaking, the quilt will be replaced with a new one in about three years, which means that by the time the corporal comes, the average soldier will have two quilts, and there will be more old non-commissioned officers.

In Sichuan, there is no heating here, and in winter, in addition to their own quilts, veterans will take out a bed of wine glasses in the warehouse, so that it will not be cold to cover two quilts.

But the conscripts only have one bed, and it is indeed a little cold if they build one. However, in addition to the distribution of quilts, the troops also have coats, etc., and the conscripts will cover the coats on the quilts, which is generally appropriate.

In the company, there are about 8 people living in a class, because there are many people, and there is more carbon dioxide exhaled, so in general, although there is no heating, it is still quite warm, and it is basically enough to cover a quilt and coat.

When I was studying at the Shenyang Artillery Academy in Northeast China, the dormitory was very warm because the north had to be centrally heated in winter, and I didn't have to build too much, but I had to sweat too much because I built too much.

Therefore, for winter, soldiers in the north do not have to worry about the lack of a quilt, after all, there is heating, and in the south, because the weather is not so cold, the environment is milder, and there is no need to cover so much.

When I was an officer, I felt that some soldiers had a bad behavior. In order not to fold the quilt the next day, they usually hide another bed in the company to cover the quilt at night, also called a quilt.

What does that mean, that is, the quilt placed on the bed may not be moved all the time, and it is used to prepare for inspection. There is often a thin board underneath, and it is used every day.
