<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.

Is there nothing sacred anymore in the Army. Whats next, you can walk on the grass or keep your hands in your pockets. THIS IS MADNESS.

CPT (Join to see) I'm not sure if I'm rooting for you to be the next Chairman for the Joint Chief of Staff...or get busted so you can be the Command Sergeant Major of the Universe.

My goal would be Chief of the National Guard Bureau. It seems like it would pretty chill.

I walk on the grass all the time.
That's what grass is for. Until some CSM or other senior NCO shows me an actual regulation, they can continue to watch me walk on the grass.
