Meh - it needs a boonie and the boots don't match. Keeping our black boots would look much better.

Try finding black boots on a military base anymore!   
At encampment last year we had to go to a uniform shop 30 miles away and pay through the nose for some black boots for one of the basic cadets. (His boots had "disintegrated". ::))
And we were at a National Guard facility with an AAFES Troop Store and there was an Air Force Base 60 miles away too. Neither had black boots of any kind...

No issue on a Navy base, nor Walmart.
Regardless, so few of our members source their uniforms from MCSS or AAFES that it should not be a factor.

Be that as it may, shiny black boots would add some great contrast to the IPTBCU.

Haha, but its fun to watch them swarm around trying to figure out how to make things more ridiculous and see the frustration on their face.

The problem with ABUs is that the colors don't match those of my Ranger tab. Also, I think it'd clash with a beret.

I wasn't trying to be dismissive or insulting or anything. I was poking fun at this topic, and other topics that seem to be done to death on this particular board (namely anything about berets or Ranger insignias).

The special reflective belt you have to wear when in PTs because they're not reflective enough already (especially in the daytime)?   You know, safety first and all that... >:D

Don't sweat it.  Your comment was funny and on-target.   :clap:

Some people have just had their sense of humor surgically removed, and apparently this touched a nerve.  Carry on.
