I think I need to point out that the rest of my house does not look the way my son's room always looks.  Goodness knows I tried real hard.  Today my son called and told me that he was doing his ironing.  At home he always preferred clothes that were wrinkled.  I couldn't stand it so I started ironing his clothes but he stopped me .  I really am hoping that the Navy has changed him in some ways.

Apartment during prototype:  Dress uniform on hanger in one closet, air mattress on floor, foot stool and exp comfortable computer office chair, 5-shelf book shelves loaded with books and computer games,clean laundry in baskets, over ironing bd, in linen closet (on shelves), other closet:  rifles, more books, games.

Dirty laundry on floor.  He rented washer and dryer for the couple of months, so clothes were always clean.

You need a basket in case you don't have a hamper, CindyLou.  Then the dirty clothes go on the floor and the clean clothes stay in the basket after pulling them out of the dryer, cuz it's hard to put them in the dresser... :)

A dresser is very necessary.  The dresser tops are necessary to hold all sorts of things.  This negates the need of bending to pick up things from the floor.

Who needs a dresser or a laundry basket? All you need is a floor (for the clean clothes) and a hamper (for the dirty clothes). Some times, I couldn't even see his carpeting. When visitors came over, I had to shut the door.

God Bless, my sailor did that the first leave following A school.  He had 10 days, and I felt like he was barely here.  The thing is after all was said and done,  I don't think his feet hit SC soil and I was receiving texts----"I really blew it mom, I didn't spend enough time with you and dad, really sorry, etc, etc, etc, -----when are you coming down again?"  It was totally different his next leave.

Now if the laundry baskets could fold the wash also...   My sailor is home for the weekend, but I wouldn't know.  I picked him up from the airport late last night.  This morning he has been out with friends.  I guess I will see him later at a friend's graduation party.  I'll also see him on Monday when I take him back to the airport.  At least he is having fun.

Mary, are you sure you're not talking about my son and the laundry baskets???  He had a huge dresser and about the only thing he kept in there was underwear (when not in the laundry baskets).  In the drawers ... books, wrenches, computer parts, scrap wires, you name it...but rarely any clothes.  Great idea about the grill ... just might do that myself for the kid once he gets moved in.  I know he would love that and there seems to be some fairly cheap ones there too.  Do you know if there is a Walmart there in Balston Spa for them to pick it up at as it seems we order it and it is shipped to a local store for pick-up.

Well, my son is getting ready to move to an apartment from the house he has shared in BS with three roommates, for the three months of ELT.  Unlike the house, the apartment isn't furnished, so he will be making do with a bed, a desk, sofa and coffee table from another nuke who's off to the fleet.  Sounds like he can survive with that bare minimum for three months, but, Mary, you made me think he might want a microwave.  Somehow I don't think a kid from his generation will function long without one.  And he probably just has a dish, bowl, silverware, and cup for one.  LOL
