. Part of your Marine Corp training will include very tedious cleaning tasks. You will be expected to be meticulous about everything from your boots, to your bed, and your clothes. Everything you have will need to be neat and orderly, so if you've got bad habits, it's time to change them. When you clean your room or your car, be meticulous. Try to keep in mind the expectations of a Marine in everything you do and deliberately set out to uphold those standards.
