Bedpacks

[DEADHEAD]

Apparently recruits at RTS no longer have to make bed packs. Not really news worthy however this maybe the most savage use of social media to attempt improve recruiting. Thoughts?

Sheets, blankets and pillows are issued to recruits on arrival and they are required to construct a bed pack every morning from Day 02 of training. This teaches recruits valuable time management skills and makes them aware of attention to detail.

That's from the Recruit website. I'll give you attention to detail but F. all else. We used to put our bedpacks in a locker and sleep in our maggots at Catterick. With about 4/5 hours kip a night, the ballache of a bedpack was a non starter. Full check for coins or other plants before we put them back on the beloved static tastic counterpane though

What was your source? If they are still being made then when in the 7(?) weeks do they stop being a feature.

Like Coheed provisions were in place on the AAITC so that your bed pack once constructed never got taken apart...I think it's part of the training ethos to problem solve and manage your admin as best you can?

RAF Halton Facebook page, it wasn't the Bed packs going that was an issue for me. It was the fact they used social media to project that as news, when it really isn't!

I agree DH, poor use of social media here. I seriously doubt potential recruits were being put off by the use of bed packs so what was the point of transmitting this change in RTS?
