I wanted to send clothes to my brother while he is in Iraq...Im looking for the tshirts and socks that I can send to him that are approved to wear over there. Not exactly sure of the regulations. Can someone help?

it's a lot easier if you live near a base and can just pick stuff up. Here we either go to the supply store on base or just off base is a big supply store called general jacksons (I bet they have an online version of it) it specializes in military supplies and clothing. Just find out with duty uniform they wear (my hubby is Army so it's ACU's which has tan shirts) and see if you can find like three packs of the softee brand. That's how they are packaged and sold here. As for the socks for the army PT socks are white crew socks, acu socks are black or green cushioned socks. They can't have ankle socks or like thinner dress socks for their uniform. Course i'm sure the USMC is prolly different, still a good supply store or stores near a base would know the answers to that. OH one last thing, be sure nothing you send is Under Armor brand. The guys love it, but the USMC banded it last year for anyone going outside of the wire. The spandex in it cause chemical burns with blast injuries. Anything you send should be cotton or natural fibers (nothing sythenic).

Only armor lined underwear and kevlar socks are allowed.
Go online to General Dynamics under up-armored under garments to order them.
This is the kind of armor the Democrats said we didn't have at first, but now we got. But Rumsfeld said we had to go to war with the Army we got.

Try going to an army/navy surplus store, they usually have the stuff you're looking for and at affordfable prices.

Try www.aafes.com but in order to shop online you have to make a sign in account. It's free. They have military uniforms on there.
