"My son is at Ft. Benning GA for basic training in the Army"

God bless your son for his service. And your son's gonna be fine there. The best thing about the storm is that it may cool the troops off a little. The red clay and pine woods at Ft. Benning in August and September can be a sneak preview of h*ll for back sliders....

I have a pair of white shorts used for PT at Ft.Benning - almost 35 years ago - worn a few times a year since then but sturdy enough that they are still wearable ...

The red clay is STILL there despite many washings, some with a pretty heavy dose of bleach or "color safe" bleach.
