there are good and bad sgts. likewise, there are also good and bad officers and men.

Stand by Bed / Area
A time for the sergeant to check the cleanliness and tidiness of your bunk, bed and the arrangement of everything inside your locker. will usually result in push ups as the sergeant can always find dust in places where u least expected.
most of the time the sergeants will also take this opportunity to see your girlfriend's pics inside your locker. beware. -
