Wool may soon be my best friend

Published by JPJenkins at 6:09 am under Daily Life, Health

Being recalled back to active duty for over 5 years I thought wearing my boots 8-10 hours a day was a lot.  Being out here and wearing them every waking moment except when showering or sleeping (most of the time) I found a new appreciation for socks.

 

Supplies in our exchange (store) is always low when it comes to purchasing health and comfort items so help from friends and relatives in the states can be crucial to many Marines.

 

After chow this morning I tried he exchange once again to see if they have cushioned black socks and woo hoo they did!  What a difference.  Probably the best $10 item I got out here yet.  Too bad they only had one pair left.

 

Well, if anyone wishes to save me from having to amputate my toes please feel free to send black or brown over the calf cushioned socks.

    Too bad about your feet. I bet you now have loads of socks sent to you, especially by your Mom. Let us know if you want any foot powder. Do you have your sleeping area “to yourself” when you take off your boots?

    I met you at the rally one Saturday morning in West Chester.

    BTW, try to be kind to those Air Farce guys … I use to be one of them!
