That sounds good, but would I just walk over to the clothing stores and ask to speak to their "I/C"?  Is that like the Sgt in charge of the tables for that day?  Or is it a more permanent position somewhere in the back.  I don't know how they structure themselves over there and every time I've...

Okay and would I just make a request in the form of a memo up my chain or simply verbally relay the difficulties again to the CoC to try and get an LPO started?  I'm not the only soldier this is affecting so I assume an LPO would cover anyone in my unit who is in a similar situation.

What is an LPO?

Still unable to get combat boots issued to me.  Not any sizes even close to what I wear in stock and this has been going on for six months now.  I am unsure what to do as my current boots are about ready to fall apart.  I am using gorilla glue and other adhesives to ensure that the sole doesn't...

Yes it is unfortunately; however I can no longer edit the post at this time.  The ACOG is still available and reduced to 1000 or best offer.

I heard all three versions were rejected.  But that's unconfirmed.

So I heard the latest round of trials failed all three boot types, anyone heard this as well?

I'm not familiar with the Oakley pilot gloves, however, if they're anything like other pilot gloves in general then they are likely not as durable as these blackhawk gloves.  I remember about eight to ten years ago the wearing of pilot gloves among infantrymen was fairly common.  This was before...

Looks to be Blackhawk SOLAG gloves in nomex.  I used these overseas and got good use put of em.  Two pairs lasted about six months of daily use.

It is too bad, from my perspective, that politics has such an effect on the gear I am expected to operate in combat with.  I would love to see a company like Rocky come in and take over from whatever Canadian firms are currently supplying us. I got to see two of the variants being trialed while...

Very interesting indeed.  Glad they went with suede as it will be easier to find non-issue commercial boots for various purposes.  Although hopefully whatever is chosen is good enough to no longer NEED to buy non issue boots. Can you grab some pics of the other models as well? What are the...

That's good to hear.  Can you say if the models being tested are a brown smooth letter surface that needs to be polished, like the current in service boots or if they are suede leather like the in service boots the USMC or US Army use?

Does this mean that there is more than one kind of boot being tested?

Are you trialing new boots for the LOTB program?  Can you post any photos of the new ones?
