Received a set of the new pants today. So many new bells and whistles I'm surprised there isn't a 1 day course on how to operate and maintain. Didn't have time to figure out the new blousing system so rocked boot bands instead. Didn't think I would ever see it this year/decade at the rate our...
So... I'm hearing grumblings of soldiers having no option but to buy boots. The QM was out of black, (crappy) brown, and tan as well. If this is the case, should they not be reimbursed? This footwear problem appears the be getting as bad as the shortfall on combats. If they are going to run out...

I still remember getting my new ruck for the first time and a civvy instructor standing in front of us all stating "This ruck is made to fit the curve in your back...
