School Cleaning Inspection Checklist: Fill & Download for Free

Because we are taught to bring a handkerchief around in our childhood.In elementary school, children have everyday carry inspection every morning. This is not an inspection to check if they have something inappropriate but to confirm they have things that are expected to bring to school. Besides supplies for classes, hygiene products are on the checklist. One of them is a handkerchief. Every child needs to have one clean handkerchief everyday. Through this daily inspection, children learn what to have as a decent human being, saying in an exaggerated manner.This is a list of a typical set of belongings elementary school kids are expected to have with them.Everyday carry: Pen case (5 pencils, 1 Red+blue pencil, Eraser, Ruler) / Textbooks / Notebooks / Communication notebook / Case for communication notebook / Sketchbook / Underlay / Handkerchief / Tissues / School lunch bag (placemat / facemask) / Name tagThe other answers say “it’s because the Japanese toilets often don’t have paper towels”. Nope. Toilet is not the only place to use a handkerchief. How do you wipe your body and bag if it started raining suddenly? How do you wipe your sweat in summer? What do you do if you accidentally spilled your drink? We are taught to take care of ourselves as much as possible.I usually have a half-sized hand towel which looks like the one in the picture below in my bag. It absorbs liquids really well, doesn’t require ironing, and isn’t bulky when folded. Ideally, it should be a cotton handkerchief with some frills around, but I’m a practical or lazy person.

I’ll start with the last part of your question. For a 20 year old with no goals or focus on the future, the Navy (or ANY military service) is a very good option. Here are some positives:You’re not homeless or hungry.You have a full-time job with lots of benefits.It’s very hard to get fired (and almost impossible to quit).Free, continuous job training.Probably visit many different countries.Some negatives:Civil Rights. You voluntarily give-up many civil rights, including speech, and assembly. You are subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice which has different, stricter rules.Long hours. There’s no such thing as a 40-hour work week or overtime pay. You are available 24/7/365. If that means working for 24 hours, you will. (That’s not efficient, so only done in battle. But battle is exactly what you volunteered for.)Rules, rules, lot’s of rules. Some rules are obvious, others seem ridiculous. But they’re all necessary. THESE RULES ALSO APPLY WHEN YOU’RE OFF DUTY. (Example: Uniform Regs. Even civilian clothing, jewelry, etc. is regulated)Dirty, filthy work. The military does every job you can think of (and many you never imagined!), and some are dirty and disgusting (like cleaning sewage tanks), But SOMEONE has to do it. That someone is the most junior, inexperienced person. Note that it has nothing to do with race, sex or any other group. EVERYONE does the same thing in the beginning.Time. You will always be on time. ALWAYS! There’s no such thing as being “fashionably late”. You can’t just “call-in sick”. You tell your supervisor you feel sick and, if possible, he will allow you to go to sick-bay. Usually, they’ll treat you and send you back to work. If needed they’ll give you a restricted duty chit (chit is Navy for memo and/or form) with your limitations (no lifting, no running, whatever) and for how long. If you can’t work, you’ll be put on the sick-list (a list given to the Captain every day) and sent to your bunk. If you go to sick-call (a time every morning when people stand in line at sick-bay) often, you’ll get labeled as a “sick-bay commando”.If you feel you need time off, too bad. Sure, you can ask for early liberty (“liberty” is when you are allowed to leave the ship to do whatever.) Early liberty is getting off before the end of the normal work day. Special liberty is a day off without having to take leave. THAT is a reward seldom issued. If you think you’ve done all your work, somebody will find something for you to do. The exception to that is when you visit a “liberty port”. In that case, as long as your assigned work is done, and you’re not in the in-port duty section (the skeleton crew that stays aboard, does security watches and is needed to get the ship underway in an emergency), you can go ashore. Frequently, you can go on liberty for two or three days without coming back to muster (you need to be seen, occasionally, so everyone knows you’re still alive).An old Navy commercial said “Join The Navy And See The World!” But, 78% of the world is covered with water.Boot camp.Don’t bring anything. You will be issued everything you need. Anything you bring will be boxed and sent to your home address (with space limits, of course). The only exception I know of is prescription eye wear. When your Navy-issue eye wear arrives, the civilian pair goes in your locker. After you graduate from boot camp, you can (probably) wear them (unless they’re obnoxious, like star-shaped lenses.)When I went to boot camp, I had all kind of visions in my head of a terrible place (TV & movies, you know?). After a couple of weeks (while doing group punishment push-ups LOL), I thought to myself “This isn’t that bad. Boot camp’s gonna be easy!” It was! Just remember, the purpose of boot camp is to ingrain into you the idea “There’s no ‘I’ in ‘TEAM’!”Leave.Everyone earns 30 days of leave per year. That’s days. In the civilian world, you earn vacation pay in hours, and there are 40 work-hours per week. 7 days of military leave is equivalent to 40 hours of vacation pay. You are typically granted, at most, two weeks of leave at a time, twice a year. It’s all conditional on the needs of the Navy (the mission).While being transferred to another ship or duty station, you could take 30 days of leave. You are also given travel time, that doesn’t count as leave. The duration depends on mode of travel and distance. If you’re driving coast-to-coast, it might be two weeks. The longest total I ever had was seven weeks. For pay, you can go to any military base, show them your orders and financial record (When you travel, you take your Service Record and Medical Record with you. DON’T LOOSE THEM!), and they’ll pay you on the spot.Life during transfer. When you report to your new duty station, there is a specified place in your orders that you report to. Your ship may not be in port, so you’ll have to wait for them to return to port. Frequently you are assigned to something called the “waiting division”. (Navy terminology isn’t very creative). We called it “waits and skates.” “Skating” is when you’re doing something useless (to keep you busy) and spending as much time as you can doing it, so they don’t give you something else, maybe less desirable. An example (in the ‘70s) is to circle the building picking-up cigarette butts and trash on the ground. In the afternoon, if they can’t think of anything else for you to do, they may shove everyone off on liberty.Life during training. Everyone gets training of some sort, depending on the type of enlisted. If you enlist for four years as an un-designated striker (no specific job), you’ll go to something like Seaman Apprentice School. If you were promised a guaranteed job when you enlisted, they will send you to “A” school to learn the basics of your trade. That takes a few months. After that, en-route to your first ship, they will probably send you to some additional universal training, like ship fire-fighting and Damage Control (repairing battle damage)If you enlisted for six years, you will get additional technical training at “C” school. Depending on the job, they may send you to sea duty for a couple of years between “A” and “C” schools.Life at sea. It depends on which branch you're in, Surface Warfare, Aviation, Submarines, SeaBees. I don’t know anything about SeaBees, and not much about Aviation. I was on both Surface ships and Submarines.The most important thing about your first sea duty, is that EVERYTHING you have learned is SCHOOL knowledge. It’s a lot different from FLEET knowledge. That’s actually no different than in civilian life. Recent graduates from trade school or University soon find out that they don’t really know much. They just THINK they know, and if they’re really dumb, they’ll keep that attitude in the face of advice from their co-workers. We called it having “time on the pond”.Surface Fleet. Every ship has a chart called the Watch, Quarter and Station Bill (WQSB). Every job on the ship is listed. Every crew member is placed on this chart, from the Captain on down. Underway and in port, the crew is divided into “watch sections” (shifts). There’s usually three or, perhaps, four, at sea, and even more, in port. Watch sections in-port aren’t shifts. It’s the portion of the crew that spends the day and night aboard, mostly doing security jobs. On this chart, you are assigned your two watch sections, your bunk (Quarters) and Battle Stations assignments.Watches are usually four hours long. During watch, you do whatever operational work that needs to be done. It might be a Helmsman, RADAR operator, Throttleman, etc.. With four-hour watches, and three sections, if nothing was changed, everyone would stand the same watch (such as 8:00 to 12:00) everyday, which isn’t fair. The favorite watches are between 8:00 and 4:00 (you get out of half a work-day). The least is Mid-Watch (midnight to 4:00), because you lose precious sleep. To fix that, one watch (4:00 pm to 8:00) is split in half. They’re called “dog watches” (originally called a “dodge” watch, because you were dodging half a watch).For work, your assignment depends on what you have been trained for, and what your skill level is. Everyone is assigned to a Work Center, such as main sonar equipment. The work centers are in a Division (AS, for Anti Submarine). The divisions are in a Department (Weapons). The departments are in a ship (USS Lockwood). The ship is in a Squadron (Destroyer Squadron 15). The squadron is in a Fleet (7th Fleet). The fleet is in an ocean (SurfPac).Daily Routine. The “normal work-day” is eight hours per day (theoretically), five days per week. This is outside of standing watches. The day starts at 6:00 with Reveille EVERYONE gets up, except the ones who stood the Mid Watch. They can sleep until 7:00, but miss breakfast). Everyone musters at Quarters at 7:45 for “…muster, instruction and inspection.” Everyone is told about special things happening that day, and given a short personnel inspection (personal appearance). The work day starts at 8:00. Outside of equipment maintenance, taking care of the ship is continuous. Steel loves to rust. The crew is constantly chipping rust and painting the ship. At the end of the work day, there’s a movie. Taps (lights out) is at 10:00In addition to all of that, you receive PQS cards (Personal Qualification Standards) for every watch duty (like Sonar Operator). This card has a series of checklists, requiring signatures after an oral examination, for the various functions of that watch (track a submarine on the A-Scan). Most of it requires study and on-the-job training.Submarine Fleet. Submarines are almost totally different from Surface Ships. The first difference is crew size. Submarine crews are about 2/3 the size, doing the same work. Many functions are totally eliminated. On a surface ship, when there is battle damage, a Repair Locker crew handles it, with assistance from the crew, as needed. Submarines don’t HAVE repair lockers. When there is battle damage, the entire crew participates, from the beginning. On a surface ship, everybody learns his own job, and only looks out of the box while trying to earn the Surface Warfare pin. On a submarine, everyone works to earn the Submarine dolphins pin, and learns the basics of everyone else's job. There is no “box” to look out of.The same difference extends to all of the crew attitudes. For example, on a submarine, even Chief Petty Officers (senior enlisted on the boat) scrub floors and clean toilets.Daily routine is also totally different. At sea, submarines also have three sections (shifts), but they’re six hours (not four). Unlike surface ships, there is no “work day” at sea, there’s no Reveille, and no Taps. When you’re not on watch, if your work and study is done, you can go to bed. Three things change that. There’s some kind of all-hands emergency drill (Fire, Flooding, Toxic Gas, etc.) every morning and afternoon M-F. There’s classroom-style training twice a week (replaces a drill). Every Saturday, there’s all-hands Field Day, where the entire ship is cleaned all morning. During drills and Field Day, all the lights are on. Otherwise, the only lights on in berthing areas are red floor lights.Qualifications are also totally different. There’s no PQS. Instead, you get a three-ring-binder full of qual cards. There’s a four page ship’s card and a card for every watch station you could possible stand, not just the ones for your job. At sea, that could be as a Helmsman or Messenger, up to a Contact Coordinator. A sonarman might stand watch as a Fire-Controlman.In-port, a submarine has either two or three watch sections. There IS a normal work day but, if needed, you work extra, and you’re expected to do it without being told to. On submarines, individual initiative is a big deal.Life on shore duty. It depends on the nature of the job, but in general, you work a typical 40 hour work week minimum. If you need to work longer, you will. If you need to work on the weekends, you will. You are also assigned to a duty section to take care of things that need to be done 24 hours per day (such as building security). When I was on Instructor Duty, as a Chief, I spent one day per month as the school building Officer Of the Day. I had a bunk, and the only time I left the building was when I went to the Galley to eat, and when I made the occasional perimeter tour around the building. Inside, I supervised the security detail and did administrative work when new arrivals reported in the evening.You will usually do the same job, ashore, as you did at sea, in a shop or office. If you’re in a repair facility, you may assist ship’s crews in repairing their equipment.

Ouch. I was lucky. My folks asked me to shovel out my room every month or two.1. Put a password on your computer. Make it non trivial. at least 10 characters, not something that is a combination of words. 2 punctuation marks or numbers.2. Use the incognito function of your web browser.3. Install Firefox, chrome, safari, and opera on your computer. Use different ones for different purposes. The one you use for anything your mom would find problematic is NOT on your desktop, but can be accessed only through the menu system or command line. If you wish you can change the name and icon of the browser.4. If your computer has the horsepower, install Virtual Box. Inside VB install linux. Learn to use linux. The evironoment will be so weird your mom will leave it alone in confusion.***In your room: Use a dirty sock for cleaning up. Chances are they are already crusty.***Snoopy parents who want to know everything. Some of this is legit. They want to know if you are moving into areas that from their experience they know can cause heartache and trouble.Some of it is that they are living vicariously through you. The stories you bring home from school remind them of their days when they were younger and the world was full of hope and promise.Some of it is self worth: A woman's role (she thinks) is to keep the house clean. Your room is part of the house.And some of it is they are overcontrolling. They don't believe that you are growing up. (Parent's perception of their kids maturity is usually 2-3 years younger than it really is.)Possible actions:1. Be candid on all the unimportant stuff. If mom asks about school, tell her in detail about factoring in math class. If mom asks who you are taking to the prom, describe 6 of the girls that interest you.2. Turn it around. Get her talking. Ask your mom questions about high school, when she was a teen, what the girl's side of dating looked like when she was a kid. It may be that she just wants someone to talk to. Yes, your mom may be lonely. Moms are a good reference tool. They were 16 once. Hard to believe, but true.3. You can also ask personal questions that are just as embarrassing to her. "Did you pleasure yourself with your fingers at night when you were a teen?"4. Negotiate a new social contract."Mom: I want more privacy. I don't want you in my room. I want that space to be mine. I don't come into your room. Give me the same respect I give you.I know I need to show that I am mature enough to handle this. Here's what I propose:You don't come into my room unless I'm there. You don't clean my room. That's my job. On Saturday before noon I will come to you and say that I'm ready for inspection. Make a checklist of what it's supposed to be like. (And take pictures of any flaws after she had done your room, so she can't foist a double standard on you. E.g. dust buffalo under the bed. ) It helps with this if you ask her to teach you how to clean your room. Make notes. You make the checklist, and give it to her.I will have my door open whenever I'm on the computer. If you really want to know what I'm looking just walk by my door. (Requires that you arrange your room so that the computer screen is visible from the door.) Fall back position: One family I know has the rule: No electronics in the bedroom. All the computers are portable or in the family room.In return, I will take care of the supper dishes (or snow removal, or grass mowing)This is most convincing if you take on the task for a couple weeks *before* opening negotiations5. Take over the garage or basement. Set up a workbench/hobby center. Move some of your stuff there. Women often regard such spaces as not being their territory.6. Buy a tent. Live in the tent in the back yard. Use your room as a place to keep your clothes.7. Spend a lot more time at a friends house.Good luck.And if none of this works, in a couple years you can leave home.If you want to talk more, you can find me. It's not a common name.
