    The brown Temperate Combat Boot (AKA: Mk IV Cbt Boot) - No longer CADPAT

    Yep yep. Speaking of Boulet, here is the new land operations temperate boot they came up with (and it's brown). http://www.bouletboots.com/index.php?page=48&MCatID=1&CatID=20&PID=235

    The need for tactical highly visible rank (From:Re-Royalization)

    Perhaps you may very well be. The Brits are already doing it: Alternately, they do have black rank insignia for those special occasions during which headshots are not required:

    Quite so.  That is what I perceive to be their intent as well. Sad, I had my eye on the Blackhawk warrior in coyote brown for the longest time. That Vibram sole is fantastic.

    Aye. The one I have on me has that line as well. Printed this summer. You're still up to date!

    The brown Temperate Combat Boot (AKA: Mk IV Cbt Boot) - No longer CADPAT

    As others have mentioned the brown boots with the fabric ankles and the brown boots with air holes all over them are ''Arid Region'' and ''Desert'' boots respectively. We have yet to see any apparition of the land operations temperate boots. I've seen the MERX listings but have never seen a...

    The brown Temperate Combat Boot (AKA: Mk IV Cbt Boot) - No longer CADPAT

    Quite so. Your post reminds me of this video. The boot that ended up brown was actually that lighter colour when it was being designed; now it is brown. It is described in this video and sitting right next to the cadpat boots. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbJueEcQ-o4

    Segregation in Messes

    Just put a small sign on a table that says ''Reserved for Officers / Senior NCO's''. I routinely eat and socialize with NCO's that I personally work with/know but sharing a table with junior ranks is where I draw the line. A lot of them have a habit of getting too familiar for some odd reason. I...

    SOP in reserve is 2 years after enrollment date you are cpl. The only conditions are you must be fit and qualified in your trade. Which is why reserve cpl's are notoriously young and inexperienced. Some actually spend two years as a recruit washing hay boxes and become cpl right after DP1. Only...

    The Valcartier clothing store is only issuing brown boots; unless they still have your size in black.

    The brown Temperate Combat Boot (AKA: Mk IV Cbt Boot) - No longer CADPAT

    From what I understood at the clothing store counter, the boots that were ripping and cancelling themselves out were quarantined boots that the supply system was handing out because it had nothing else to issue. I have two pairs of these boots, combat, arid regions and so far after a month of...

    The brown Temperate Combat Boot (AKA: Mk IV Cbt Boot) - No longer CADPAT

    Here: Can you tell the difference? haha The boot on the left has a light coat of polish and nubuk oil.  They finally fixed the piece of leather on the heal that cut up our ankles and added fabric to cover that up.

    The brown Temperate Combat Boot (AKA: Mk IV Cbt Boot) - No longer CADPAT

    The instructions say not to put excessive amounts of polish or paste on them. They are brown leather, I tried nubuk oil too but it didn't help with the scuffs.

    The brown Temperate Combat Boot (AKA: Mk IV Cbt Boot) - No longer CADPAT

    Well... Got issued 2 pairs of the ''Boot, Combat, Arid Regions'' They are surprisingly comfortable when you compare them to the general purpose boots. I was pl comd for a DP1 infantry course so I got ample field use out of them. Word to the wise, water goes right through tongue right...

    The brown Temperate Combat Boot (AKA: Mk IV Cbt Boot) - No longer CADPAT

    They look like the Lowa amd Haix boots a lot of guys wear.  My SEK9000s dont look like most boots people wear either and I havent been bothered by anyone.  Even here in QC where they stresd out if you wear non issue socks.

    Has anybody ever tried a pair of Alt-Berg's?  I am gonna take a chance and order a pair.  Hopefully the British MOD brown will fit our DND brown. http://www.camouflage-store.com/boots/1/?sort=&user_length=24&cat_id=62 Im going to try the Altberg sneeker model in brown.  They have black and...

    The brown Temperate Combat Boot (AKA: Mk IV Cbt Boot) - No longer CADPAT

    Went to Valcatraz's clothing store the other week to change my general purpose boots.  They were totally out of my size and only issuing  rown boots.  On the bright side, the clerk said the boots that were ripping were quarantined boots that were issued because they had nothing else to give out...

    I need a new pair... been looking at the Blackhawk Warrior.  Can't decide whether I need black or coyote brown.  All signs are pointing to black!

    Yeah I checked it out today... couldn't make sense of most of the information there.  From what I could gather, the whole project is on hiatus..
