Just curious, I appreciate your input.

Everything Guy wrote is pretty much right on the money (pardon the pun). Fellows have been going through the Q course for years now without fancy pedicures. They're just nice to have. They're even better when you're a little drunk (think massage for your feet). As far as moisture goes, as soon as you dump some Desenex or Gold bond powder, you're back to square one. The pedicure's real benefit is that it smooths out your foot so those thick ass callouses blend better with the rest of your foot. If you're a penny pinching Nasty Guard SPC like me (15 bucks is a box of ammo), you'll skip it, drive on and remember when you had disposable income for such things. If you have the cash and don't care what they call you in the barracks, have fun.
