After debating with myself, I decided on sending white athletic type socks. Which should we send? Athletic type socks or dress socks? So far, I have sent 21 pair in 3 packages and have another 3 pair to go. I will be making another Costco run in a week or two.

I'd go with black tube socks. Dickies work socks are very good and cheap. White ones are fine, though technically not uniform. Thanks for sending a GI some socks!

Somebody on here listed chapstick, which I forgot but is a big deal in the field. So is sun-screen.

HAving served actively in the Army for 26 years I can tell you that the only way to go is with tube type over the calf cotton socks. You need the over the calf as the shorter athletic sox are too short and the boot top chafes against your leg.

Gold Bond powder isn't such a bad idea either.
