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.

Green for field wear and black for dress uniform

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 don't remember the colour

But I can't forget the smell

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.

The real question is.... Do intardnet snipers have special magic sucks, or just magical imaginations?

socks? you guys had socks? next you will be saying you also had boots.

all i got was a sniper rifle, a poison pill and a scorpion, the scorpion was in case the poison pill did not work.

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.

We did get boots though and an ill fitting badly made No1 uniform.

Ah the good old days!:rolleyes:
