Job Description


There may be no better way to support your fellow Soldier than by making it possible for them to take a hot shower or get a clean uniform while out in the field. It may seem a small thing, but a simple detail like cleanliness can go far to improve morale.



It takes a variety of skills and disciplines to ensure that the men and women of the military have clean, wearable clothes, whether at home base or in the field. The Soldiers of this specialty ensure just that. Not simply by doing laundry, repairing fabric, and sewing buttons; but by knowing the importance of clean water and facilities in the field that enable everyone to get a hot shower and clean their clothes.



Your training could prepare you for a career working in, supervising, or managing a commercial laundry, such as in a hotel or resort; as an equipment manager for a sports team; or as a tailor.
