boot socks

so i have been running in the boots i bought at orientation in order to get my feet and legs used to them. my dad got this promotional card for this site, thorlos.com, and i can get a free pair of socks. this company specializes in socks and many people recommend them. well, i need some boot socks because the ones i run in now cause mild blisters. so, which one(s) will i be able to take and keep while at the academy?

here is their section of Air Force socks

Quick Purchase @ THOR•LO

You don't need to bring socks to BCT. You will be issued more than your share. I am STILL using the ones I was issued and I inprocessed 6 years ago, haha.

Well, if you want to bring them later, you can do that, but I wouldn't recommend bringing them to Basic. It would be just another thing to keep up with. Like UNcynical said, you'll be issued plenty of socks.
