<p>As usual at about 0530 this morning, I was clawing through the laundry basket of clothes my wife just did desperately searching for my "Army" socks. Diggin through mountains of white socks to find them in the dark.</p><p>Does it really matter what color socks we wear with our boots that no one can see in the first place? I mean really. What is the point.</p><p>"It's the standard...the reg says so...etc etc....I got it. But what I'm asking is #1 does it make any sense and #2 should it be changed?</p><p>All of my Army socks are worn out, have holes in them, and a permanent unique Army smell. Let's stop discriminating against the white socks and have EO for all socks!!!</p><p>What say you? </p>

That is pretty funny. I believe there is actually a sock out there like that. Some of my Marines wore them over seas and during training. helped keep their feel cooler.

I sometimes wear pajama pants under my uniform pants when it's chilly outside. Makes it easy to change when I get home. I'm a rebel.

I worked with a woman who came to work in pajama pants. Tried to pass them off as sweat pants. Well, it said "sleep" on them. She wasn't entirely there.
