While the freshman were instructed on proper uniform wear and command voice, the sophomores were instructed on information they will need for Field Training this summer. At Field Training, proper dorm maintenance as directed in the Field Training Manual must be maintained. The bed must be made a very specific way, the clothes in their drawers must be folded and aligned a very specific way, the clothes in their closets must hang a very specific way.
As an example, here's how the 2009 Field Training Manual describes how the t-shirts shall be arranged in the drawer:
(3) T-shirts. All T-shirts are folded the same way. Lay the T-shirt flatwith neck down and to the right. Fold each sleeve toward center, squaring the shirt. Keeping the neck centered, start with side closest to you and fold each side toward the center, until it is approximately six inches wide. Fold T-shirt in half from left to right twice. Stack and size T-shirts with the neck up and facing the front of drawer single fold to the front of drawer. Ground the brown/sand T-shirts to the front and right side of the drawer. The white T-shirts will be grounded to the front of drawer and to the brown/sand T-shirts. White T-shirts are mandatory for both male and female cadets and are to be folded the same as the brown/sand T-shirts.
And let me tell you, 6 inches means 6 inches. If it's 6 1/8 inches, the cadet will be penalized on his or her inspection.
In addition, the sophomores practiced dining hall procedures. Cadets don't even get a break from marching at Field Training during lunch. They must be at attention the entire time and must move through the chow line in a choreographed manner.
