The young training instructor at Lackland Air Force Base, fresh out of TI school, was doing everything by the book. Our group of 50 female basic trainees was gathered around as he showed us how to fold and hang our clothes military style. Using one of the women’s lockers as an example, he referred to his TI school guide, fumbling with T-shirts and socks as he attempted to fold them into prescribed shapes.
