I was in the military with a guy like this. Extremely horrible body odor problem, and even worse foot odor problem. He was a nice guy and all, but no one could stand to be around him for more than a few seconds. One year at Christmas, each person on our dorm floor bought him a bar of soap. He was thrilled to get so many presents until he started opening them. He got the hint, though. He began bathing regularly and his body odor began to go away.
The foot odor, however, never went away so he was forbidden from walking the halls without his shoes on.
