Back to the poly pro socks. My road march formula is a light coat of vaseline on the feet, light weight poly pro socks and wool socks worn inside out. That combination was advocated in the prep for SFAS literature at the time (91). I tried it out while I was training for SFAS and it served me well the rest of my career. If any one knows the reason for poly p socks being prohibited please enlighten all of us.

1. To level the playing field between guys with money and those without. An advantage should not be gained by those who can afford cool toys.
2. To see if you can follow simple instructions.
