Military box pleating is different than Matts box pleating and takes up much more fabric.

I'll see about taking a shot of mine, but it's like making a knife pleat, then turning the leading inch back. On my Cameron it's like making a 5 inch deep knife pleat then folding the leading 1 inch back over the pleat.
