Gentlemen,
I'm glad you brought this up, I was a bit curious. I'm serving with the 29th INF right now, a bunch of the older guys swear by a pedicure every now and again. I've gone and gotten a few myself, but with all the moisture they put into your feet, would it be working against the hardening process too much, or would it prevent the "too dry and cracked" scenario previously mentioned. Just curious, I appreciate your input.
SPC Fonz.
