Silly question, if I mail these to a female in basic, will they actually give them to her when she goes to AIT? Or do you think she could take a pair with her?

Certianly not whoever the Air Force buys theirs from.  The damn things start falling apart about as soon as you put them on.

I can't really help you with the Army, but in the AF we wouldn't have really had an occasion to need them in tech school.

Okay, well I was going to mail some better made thinsulate long johns and these 'aviator gloves' come highly recommended for windy situations so I thought that would be a good present for her. She's not that strong in terms of handling cold weather n such.

She can wear them in AIT.... But she has been issued gloves, and cold weather grear already. More stuff she will have to pack, and loose and/or get stolen. Not really much need for them in a warm classroom, learning how to be behind a desk or in a warehouse.

Okay I understand. What do you think I send her besides a letter every couple of days? She doesn't eat candy. Any recommendations?
