You won't be able to use it for the first three weeks (indoc phase). Nobody can have watches then. Generally speaking, Timex Ironman is about as high tech as you're allowed for a watch.

What do you recommend for socks? The OCS packing list doesn't mention them at all.
Yeah, I've used those for boot socks before. They're definitely very good.
I should have clarified more. Do I need to bring regular and boot socks? How many pairs? Does color matter?
You'll be issued (sold) everything you need. The boot sock advice is so that you have socks better then what they issue, which are thin black cotton socks that are awful socks to wear with the rough, unlined, heavy and uncomfortable black boots you get.
You'll want the nice boot socks you bring to be black with ideally no visible logos or markings and if you dont want to wear the awful socks you're provided, 5 pairs would be great but I made do with 3.
All the other socks are fine for athletic shoes, and the white/black dress shoes. Only thing there is to buy extra black dress socks (from the nex when you're there) and double them up (shirt stay loop between socks) to help reduce the discomfort off those awful black bates breaking in while walking a ridiculous amount daily.
You could try to get away with black athletic socks and the khakis but if you get caught that's a paddlin.jpg
None. Show up with the least amount of stuff. When the rest of your class is freaking the f**k out in the lucky bag room because they're digging through 3 suitcases worth of $hit you'll thank me.
What you need before you report and maybe a pair for when you leave. Keep in mind that the weather may be very different when you leave vice when you reported. You won’t wear any civilian clothes after your first day at OCS.
Show up in one pair of clothes appropriate for the weather with extra socks/undies for the morning of check in.
When you leave there's a damn good chance you'll be a different size and fit on pants and shirts and the weather will be different like has been mentioned.
Treat yourself to a new outfit at the nex on the way out. Newport has a a big clothing section for the bases size.
Sounds like way too much work. I just wore the black pro-feet athletic socks with my bates

Atleast they were the same color, when the Pensacola cold snap hits I saw more than a few people rocking grey or black wool socks with their khakis, with the shirt stays overtop them... ?
Dear lord. Must be from the Academy.
