<p>Mole Pushups are when the cadre orders cadets to do pushups in their sleepwears to encourage them to sleep in their beds. They should do it diving head first under the covers and sheets. The cadre’s make the basics do this in some of the squadrons all through their first year. </p>
<p>Eventually the Basics are so tired they just stay in bed, instead of making the bed back up in the dark and sleeping on the floor.</p>
<p>I learn something new everyday...just like my basic :P</p>
<p>When I went through basic training eons ago, I remember sleeping well and getting up earlier than everyone else so I can make up my bed properly. ( had the bottom bunk) I was in CG, so it was a squad bay that I shared with a boatload of other women. We had our mattresses, toothpaste, underwear and stuff tossed around on several occasions after an inspection.</p>
<p>..okay...now I'm back in the 21st century... :)</p>
