I was never in basic training so I don't know what colour my socks where.  But if I had been in basic training, I would have liked by socks to be a blue/gray/red paisley.

Black and black... black wool/cotton for combat boots,  thin black ones for low quarters.... and when we're real freaky we'd wear.... black socks.

Green Wool.

.... and I have NOT worn Army ISSUED Socks (or underwear) since then.  Your feet are important, treat them right.  My sock drawer 20 years later includes: Green, Black, Tan, and Desert Brown Socks now..... none of them Army issue.  Nadda.  Between Campmor and Ranger Joes, my (flat) feet are (relatively) happy feet.

I wore pantyhose, not socks. Which might have something to do with why they booted me out.

Thrawn,

Just an FYI: No one on this board gets sarcasm.  All threads are taken seriously.

As they didn't issue us socks. They were probably blue, which I usually wear. Come to think of it, they didn't issue us with shirts, ties, fatigues, combat uniforms, webbing and it was ages before I was officially issued a beret. :huh We did get boots though and an ill fitting badly made No1 uniform. :lol  Ah the good old days!:rolleyes:
