Quartermasters for the win! I had money deducted out of my check at BCT (I think it was $16/month) so I didn't have to worry about my damn uniforms being high-speed. Coupla homegirls kept my braids tight and I was shining their boots like new money. Like so! (That's a shoeshine kit beside me for the brehs who don't know.)
Bravo 2-10 is hard as hell...
Ah, yes. Trimming the edges of the grass with a hand trowel. Why? Because fukk it, that's why. And those floors look so much better being mopped and polished at 0300 hours, don't they? ESPECIALLY the ones in the latrines.

I was in charge of the Latrine (we called it something else). Always passed inspection every night
Picking up weeds, trash, etc. i told other cats to do it but i helped. My main thing was getting this shyt out of the way so we can dip.
Pressure washing the entrance to the QD,
Trimming hedges, pulling weeds again, inspecting barracks... Etc.
We was drilling in wall for new Televisions, replaceing light, sweeping parking lots, basically building maintenance... And thats just one part of a bullshyt job i had to do many of times in my military career.
Thats why i picked me a cushy job in IT. I been working with my hands half my life.
And yeah on the ship and in bootcamp we stayed trading favors. We used to pay the gay dudes to iron our uniforms and shine our boots because they liked doing domestic shyt like that. Trading pills for food, extra time in laundry or the showers, etc. on the ship as an IT guy
nikkas hooking you up because you had all the newest and hottest movies on your HD.. Hook that shyt up into the commons television and nikkas was at the movies every night. Did wonders for moral as well
