That question was rhetorical.

I'm sure you can make do and be warm in the issue blankets, sleeping bag, etc without the need to dress like a kid. Like Scott said above, don't draw attention to your self. I've only been on 1-2 courses with females, and they seemed to get by fine just wearing PT gear at night like the guys.
Pandora114 said:The stuffed toy is habit, I sleep with one for the first three or four nights when my husband deploys. Helps me get to sleep. After that I'm good. Used to have a cat when I was single. Cat used to sleep with me. It's just a habit thing, as I said, I just need it for the first few nights then it'll go in the foot locker til home time.
If I were you, I would consider breaking the habit of needing a teddy bear everytime you go away for courses, and exercises.

When speaking to course staff, there really isn't a lot more to say other then yes/no *insert rank*, and answering questions. As well as stating your name and service number.
BMQ is not the place to show off your individualism.
