I did this last year ... waste of time. First, their civilian clothes are packed into their own bag and taken away. Clothes they acquire (the MANY uniforms etc) when dirty go to the laundry in one big bag ... and come back in the same bag. My now youngster son says they boil the clothes then bake them dry. Don't know about that ... but sounds accurate. He actually does his own laundry know because everything is a mess and requires much ironing when sent to the USNA laundry (during the year he also gets uniforms dry cleaned) ... SOOOO yes, write his name in stuff, but don't sweat it ... they don't mix their clothes ...
