  Washing Machine is only for perm staff, in particular the commanders.

  Recruits are expected to wash by hands.

  To TS: Bring your own brush and washing powder.

  Some of the pail they provide are not hygenic, have been used for all kinds of things.

  Actually for BMT (any PES) they give credit based on the service vocation rate when enlisting, 1 year about $100. If you posted to combat voccation they up it to combat rate. Been going on for at least 10 years now.
