***THIS IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE A SERIOUS POST/TOPIC***

At my own free will, I am assisting a fellow RP Member with their campaign to be able to wear black socks and sandals to a bar-b-q at any given time.

What say you RallyPoint?

Yes, but the black socks must come up to just below the knee!

Only if the black socks are standard issue for Class A socks!

Absolutely! What kind of BBQ doesn't have men wearing black socks and sandals? A lame one, that's what kind!

Wearing a pair of Mauve Flip-Flops would also make a Raving Fashion statement. He would just be the Bell of the Ball!!

As long as it doesn't clash with SSG Woods's dress, if she's wearing that to the BBQ.

Steel Toe Boots are Mandatory at all Bar-b-Que functions.

I don't understand the question. I thought you were supposed to wear black socks and sandals. I have never seen it done any other way. Seriously, how else would you do it? Sandals with no socks? Are we cave men? Socks were invented to add that little extra flare to your attire.

I say if a man or woman has served their country, they can wear whatever they want!

Golden Rule:
Men DO NOT wear sandals except around the house, to the beach, poolside, or as shower shoes. NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!

One should never wear socks with sandals on. Not even with a reflective belt. Besides, you ever had a sock full of dirt? It's not fun.

A little late to this discussion but as a Squid, my belief is SFC Weber should be keel hauled then drawn and quartered. The PT belt should be worn through all activities. You know, "safety first" and all.
