Neither side works now. Blanket gone bad?
I feel for you bro, let the training weed him out.
Join the Marines and you wont have to deal with turds. All of them are discharged in bootcamp, unlike Army BT, which anyone can pass. Goodluck in airborne school. I'm a Marine and I already got my wings at Ft Benning. That **** is easy.
Do not use. Throw it away and buy a new one. Any electric blanket that is not working properly can start a fire.
