Captain Lex, If you are worried about blisters and blistering check out one of the military aimed online catalogs, i.e. Brigade Quartermaster. They should have blister resistant socks...they do work. Get a pair of them and some polypro socks. Use the polypros as liners and then the blister...
It is never too early for an aloha shirt. The bright colors bring a smile to everyone's face and brightens their day just a bit. I have nothing but aloha shirts and wear them year around, under my Burberry, under my bomber, and sometimes even wore one under my uniform, just for s--ts and grins.

My daughter used to work for Goddwill here in the states. She moved to Tanzania, Africa. She was telling us she say some of her Goodwill rejects when she was in Tanzania.
Of the films mentioned I have only 'The Best Years of Our Lives". It has to be one of the best ever made. Harold Russell (Homer) won two Oscars for his role. Harold is a real hero.
The new barracks at Fort Indiantown Gap are two man rooms, complete with own latrine. IMHO the two man rooms rob the soldiers of lots of opportunity for informal learning. There is a lot of informal learning that goes on in the barracks after hours sitting around bsing and talking about the...
