Are socks and underwear part of a military uniform and therefore provided by the government?

I imagine that the fabric and design are important (you dont want soldiers sweating, getting rashes/blisters, etc). So if the Army issues underwear as part of the uniform, are they tighty whities and granny panties? Camouflage?

If the soldiers have to purchase them themselves, can they wear Sponge Bob socks or thongs since nobody will see them?

Graduate a year earlier or take some graduate classes?

My son is able to obtain 2 BS degrees in 3 years: Engineering Physics and Chemical Engineering. He has merit scholarships that cover 90% of his tuition and are good for 4 years. He is on his second semester (but taking 5th-6th semester classes) and doing really well.

Instead of graduating after just 3 years, we think it might be better to use his 4th year to enroll in graduate classes (700s). He might eventually pursue a graduate degree and taking the classes now will save him time and money in the future. How likely is for Graduate school to a allow an undergraduate senior to take their classes?

If he is not allowed to take graduate classes, Plan B would be taking a bunch of electives related to his majors.

Graduating is 3 years seems scary considering the job market and the fact that my son would only be 20. We are in the U.S.

Considering that tuition would be just 10% and he would be living at home (so no extra expenses), what seems the best choice:

  1. BS in Chemical Engineering and BS in Engineering Physics in 3 years

  2. The 2 bachelor degrees plus some graduate courses in 4 years

  3. The 2 bachelor degrees plus 5-6 electives in 4 years, which would give him an extra Chemical Engineering concentration (right now his concentration is Material Sciences, the extra one could be Data Science or Environmental).
