Laundry

What a job, these guys do laundry all day long, every day. With 2-3 thousand soldiers and airmen on base they do between 300 nd 400 bags of laundry a day. It's quite a service to us, we put our laundry in a bag, no more than 19 items per bag, drop it off dirty, pick it up clean in 2-3 days. I usually end up with 3 or 4 bags per week.

The picture is of the pick up side of the building, the other half looks about the same and is the drop off side. I'm amazed at how they can keep it straight and to this point I have gotten all of my clothes back that I have dropped off. Nothing extra and nothing missing. Some days I've stopped in and there are two and three laundry baskets on top of each dryer and washer. I've tried to count the number of washers and dryers and I think there are about 25 on each side.

There is also a "do-it-yourself" laundry on base if you don't like having other people handle your dirty clothes. I don't see too many people using it, why would you if you can get someone else to do it for free. This will be something I better not get used too, I'm sure Amy will break me of it pretty quick when I get home.

Also, as part of the laundry service they have a couple guys that sit at sewing machines all day long and do repairs to what ever we bring in. I've had a couple things repaired - my t-shirt after I ripped it flexing my muscles and they also fixed my "jamay" by opening up the neck a little more and adding two more buttons on the other side. My head isn't as big as everyone says, the "jamay" was supposed to have buttons on both sides, Mike must have picked it at the factory outlet store. Actually it was hand tailored, but the tailor must have been asleep the day he did mine since he forgot the other buttons.
