That is an interesting assignment :) I never knew my haphazard way of folding clothes wasn't the way he did it until one day he helped me fold clothes. TOTALLY different. So I started doing it his way and they are much neater and with the shirts especially it's easier to identify what it is and there is no crease down the middle. Other than dress socks which are matched up everything else is identical white crew socks that are tossed in a pile in a drawer.
Shirts have the left & right 1/3 folded back, and then the bottom 1/3 folded up and then again leaving a tidy folded shirt with the collar and front top & center of the shirt flat. Collared shirts are only folded once instead of twice so it looks like a packaged shirt if you can get the visual. Underwear are folded kind of the same way, right & left 1/3 folded back and then bottom 1/2 folded back. I have no idea if this is any particular military "way" tho he was in the Army. This is just the way he likes them folded. Anything remotely "dress" is hung, not folded.
That's the basics, the rest is about aligning seams properly.
This works best with new clothes, and after several washings nobody pays as much attention to the seams.
Of course I was in the Nav, not a zoomie, and sailors aren't real big on all that dicipline stuff. Seabag inspections are punishment in the fleet, not a routine thing, so I've pretty much forgotten the details, and even then they tend to be looking for whether you have a full kit or not, unless you get dealt a real retent.
Now labeling your clothes is another thing they make you do, and it's another precision operation, and would require a manual of it's own.
