i actually bought some frilly knee-highs before the programmer sock meme was real and they are, without a doubt, the highest quality socks I own and yet the least comfortable. no holes, no fraying, but they're too thin to be useful with the combat boots and thin hiking shoes i normally wear. I like the dollar store poly knit "athletic" socks, myself. And for what it's worth, I'm always getting caught with non-issued undershirts; i tell my juniors and seniors alike that the issued ones fucking suck and I'd rather just get a pile of comfy cotton band tees from my local thrift shop instead. As a bonus, those are at least marginally more fireproof. The poly ones they issue simply melt.
>war devolves into chaos pretty quickly.
these are not shooting exercises though; it's routine inspection dives and boat ferrying crap. There's ways to solve the problems we have, but it requires either spending money at a ministerial level, or doing something very janky locally that's "not generally allowed" and would require personal investment at best and might get me personally jailed for misuse of existing assets at worst. (only barely hyperbole, but people have gotten onto the public facing List Of Upcoming Courts Martial for less)
