No, you're not going to be able to use superglue on your feet at RTC. You can try wearing two pair of socks, but do so knowing that you will suffer if you're caught. If you're still getting blisters by the time you hit A school, you're doing something wrong, and you probably just need to let your feet toughen up rather than pampering them.

The best way to prevent blisters is to tie your boots TIGHT. As much as it may be painful for the first week or so you won't get blisters. Trust me, that's what I did.

Don't double up on socks either. If it get's that bad go to medical. You'll get a tennis shoe chit.

I personally didn't go to medical for that.

If they're tied tight it doesn't allow for your feet to move around in the boot which is what causes blisters.
