A lot of military infantry training involves getting extremely muddy / sandy / dirty etc. – how does their laundry cope with it all?

407 views

Lots of military training seems to get participants even dirtier than the kids in detergent advertisements – how do military personnel manage all this washing and ironing to get them looking immaculate again? How do their machines cope with all the grime?

I have clothes that, no matter what, will never get shiny white again – do militaries just throw this sort of stuff away knowing it’ll never be appropriate for the parade ground again?

When I went through basic in Benning fir Infantry in 88, we just had a room full of washer/dryers next to our starship, and you had a laundry bag. Usually you would take turns with your battle buddy, and tpyou or they woukd throw your bags in the wash then dryer. They were really well at getting rid of sand and the orange GA clay out if your uniforms.
