Your rack will not have any gear adrift such as, loose articles of clothing (clean or dirty) shower shoes, electronics, jewelry, pictures, grooming utensils (brushes or combs) if you so chose to hang a towel on the towel bar in your rack it must look neat.
There are some easy guidelines
on how your rack is supposed to look. Your sheets need to be tight with the brown sheet tight on top. You can do this by tieing a knot in your sheets in the bottom side of your mattress. To keep your brown sheet tight I suggest using shirtstays to keep your rack together.. Your gray wool blanket will be folding “boot camp style and be at the foot of your bunk.
Racks will be uniformly made in the following way
Everyday racks will be made prior to quarters , made with two sheets Bedspread pulled tight with the top sheet folded down 12 inches from the top of the mattress. If a bedspread or Navy blanket is used the bedspread or Navy blanket will fit neatly under the fold of the top sheet and present a tight Navy like appearance.
The open end of the pillowcase will be tucked under and face inward toward the bulkhead. Clean civilian pillowcases are authorized. Blankets will be folded and placed at the foot of the rack. A civilian blanket, sleeping bag or comforter may be out, provided it is folded neatly and placed at the foot of the bed. Only One towel will be folded half-length wise and hung up neatly on the towel bar or on a hangar.
All bunk curtains will be open during working hours for berthing inspection. Underway, all bunk curtains will be open during working hours and for berthing inspection, unless authorized late sleepers or night shift work personnel.
Each person will be responsible for the cleanliness and securing of their own rack and associated lockers. Both will have nameplates displayed and locks locked. If the rack or locker is found open (not locked) the clothing and material inside will be turned into the CMAA.
