How to pass a socks inspection in Air Force Basic Training - PART 2

[12mshoe1]

Hello Sgt. Volkin. I have recently been watching a lot of videos on how to survive basic training. Could you possibly make more videos because these are helping tons. Thank you :)

holy shit this is ridiculous.

They have two different types of socks. 1. Green socks to wear with your boots and 2. Black dress socks to where with your dress uniform. Both types of socks are prepared the same way for inspections.

are those the typical boot socks or they have 2 different black socks ?

...of course that was 19 years ago at this time. Lol

I don't remember doing socks like that; come to think of it, I don't remember how we even did our socks. Maybe we just folded them in half or something, not sure. I think I would have remembered otherwise since I still do my T shirts and underwear the way we did them there. Except I don't care about it being all perfect. I chucked that issue out when I moved on to tech school. I guess a lot of methods have been changed since 1991-92 (I spent New Year there).

Graduated basic May 21st 2010 323trs flt 362, still do hospital corners and fold everything the same from towels to underwear to t-shirts. Can't say I still roll my sand tee's but I fold them like pt shirts.

@pattymac89 Some things just stay with you. Do you still find yourself eating really fast or almost flipping your glass over when you finish drinking from it? = )

Hey Volkin! Thanks for all the help with my socks in basic. 323 Flt 010

[AFbasictraining]

@mloney87 No problem! Was it 323 or 326 Flt 010.

[mloney87]

@AFbasictraining it was 326. Been a while i guess.

full room inspections are not fun.

[AFbasictraining]

Every military branch has uniform inspections. Socks are just one aspect of that.

[NYmikeFL]

do they have sock inspections in the Army?

[foster21]

does that stretch the sock out at all?

[AFbasictraining]

@foster21

It will after a while, but you won't notice it during your time in basic training. Also, you learn that once you get a sock that passes one inspection you won't touch it. Instead you will leave it rolled for the next one. I left about 80-90% of my clothes untouched once I had them inspection ready and wore the other 20-10%. Don't worry, you're constantly having laundry done.

@AFbasictraining Excellent.
