Congratulations! Try to get some duplicate uniform from any source, such as someone already in, or silvermans or quartermaster surplus stores - both available on the internet. you can then have a wardrobe constantly set up and ready for short or no notice inspections; you can live day to day from a kit bag if you have to! Empty shoe boxes are very useful for storing items in under your sink or in the bottom of the wardrobe and always look tidy. A strong smelling furniture polish ensures that you always have a room that smells'bulled'. take an Iron and ironing board - the queue for both is always long and you can never get one when you need it. Share out domestic tasks between the flight ie if someone is good at bulling shoes swap a pair of shoes with shirts to iron etc. Look at the advice given by the others in this thread and take a spare sense of hunour for the times when your first one runs out. Also look out for the first person to state "how would the flight commander like it if we went to inspect his home!" Enjoy the experience - it is more than worth it on the other side of graduation, whatever your branch!
