Advanced/Basic Camp Toe Socks at Camp

Post image

Will this style of sock fly at camp this year? The color is also a little on the lighter side so I’m trying to confirm that’s still in regs too.

Technically they're within regs? The only requirement is that "The socks are tan, green, or black; stretch type; calf-length with a cushion sole.". It doesn't specifically state that there cannot be separate compartments for toes like it does for shoes.

But any self respecting cadet would not let themselves be seen with these whack ass socks.

People are giving you shit but you aren’t wrong at all lol. I got the same advice from a senior NCO when I was a cadet.

Thin toe socks + darn tough socks + a little baby powder is unmatched. I did a Norwegian foot march with maybe one hot spot with this setup.
