As long as your fellow rackmates shower fairly regular and the bedding is washed weekly it is not too bad. Patrol socks are HIGHLY discouraged among hot rackers. You take matter in hand elsewhere..

Speaking of laundry. You have ONE day a week that you may do laundry. That is, your division is allotted one day a week. Thus only so many people can do laundry. Normally, we assign a laundry queen for that day who does all the laundry they can for everyone else on 'our' day. Once you get ahold of the ONE washer & drier on board, you do not want to let it go.

Remember that little rackpan I told you about? What if I told you I could fit 30 pairs or skivvies, 30 tee-shirts, 30 pairs of socks, 6 'poopie suits (one peice blue jumpers), 4 pairs of dungarees, toilety articles, a few books, music, some candies (hey, the creature comforts count!), shoes and a backpack all in there and still make it close. Why 30 pairs of undergarments you ask? Well, you will find that you can re-wear your outer stuff for days if you have to, but you want some clean underwear daily and you might miss your laundry day due to 'operational constraints' I.E drills, the desire to minimize the use of water, sound considerations ,etc etc etc. 30 pairs means you can go for about 3 weeks and do not laundry if you have to.
