Can cadet pay for dry cleaning and/or laundry inside USAFA? Thanks.
Thank you!USAFA has a contract with Goodwill that will do the freshmen's laundry once a week. Often times they are not the best, but regardless it works. I gave my laundry to my designated coach (who is a sophomore) to do for me in emergency situations.
While I get this sentiment 100%, it is important that any impacted freshman file complaints and claims against Goodwill. This is the only way this problem will be fixed at any point. I know its been a problem for a long time, but when this happens please file a claim for reimbursement... if you need help you can send me a pm.My kid has 2 cadets he is coaching and he is trying to get their laundry done once a week. Those whites will be grey if you stick with Goodwill.
It is "included"- i.e. comes out of their paycheck. They should know how to use Goodwill for that and if they don't, ask someone in their squadron about it. If they really need to do their own laundry they must ask permission from their squadron commander but they are not entitled to the laundry facilities as there is barely enough washers for the upper 3 classes. At nearly any time of day the washing facilities are completely full and having a whole extra 1,000 people use it makes it worse. A coach can wash clothes for them, but again same thing- it is not part of their job to do their coachees laundry. They might not be able to do it weekly- again, back to the problem with there not being enough washers for the upper 3 classes. Just some insight. It was tough when I was a coach a few years ago and having 2 coachees who expected laundry done twice a week and sometimes more often.Can cadet pay for dry cleaning and/or laundry inside USAFA?
