Whatever I pull out of the drawer in the morning.

gcclarke said:...A/WUPs (The WUPS is for worksups. I forget what the A part is but it means it wasn't required by our operational schedule, the Captain just asked for it...
PMedMoe said:See what I got when I used Google for cotton socks blisters.
Greymatters said:Maybe not... that study is for one pair of socks, whereas I always wear a pair overtop of the cotton socks...
ballz said:I liked my goretex more than my combats (Mark IVs), I just wear the black liners in them. In my combats my food used to slide around with the black liners, when I was marching people around me could hear "squeek" everytime my heel hit the ground, that was my heel sliding up and down the boot...
We weren't allowed to wear our goretex for some reason on our BFT, so I had to find a way of stopping my foot from sliding quick. I tried out the greens (no liners) and found my combats way more comfy, snug but comfy like a slipper, and had no foot problems for the 13km. I haven't switched back since.
