Army Cadet League Uniform Survey Now till 31 March 08

Cat.
Boots are "next to skin" and once issued aren't supposed to be re-issued to someone else "unless" someone from Healt Services permits it...
Combats issued on a temp basis would be a problem as they would constantly be laundered @ crown expense.  If the cadets were permitted to take em home, a good many sets would be swapped with surplus scraps ... ALSO there is also the issue that some parents believe the Cadets are "too" military ( go figure ??? ).

Good point - the way I'd figure it is that they would be used for the FTX only...returned like ex stores. The boots are issued out, year after year...I do belive they disinfect them though...atlhough after some of my cadets this summer I wouldn't want to go near those boots!
