Thanks for the info, Vern.
Again, it goes to show you that you have to be careful what you "believe" when told things by people: "I heard from a guy, who heard...."
Regardless of whether the CDS or the Base Chief, or whomever doesn't "like" a certain boot, especially ones that are worn by soldiers serving in Iraq, which is like, you know, a war-zone, and all, the priority should be function, not looks.
They shit-canned running in combat boots, which has bred a whole generation of sniv's who feel that their life is in jeopardy if they have to shuffle 5 metres to catch up the rest of the gaggle during a webbing march. I don't think it's the running that does you in; it's the crap boots that they have bought (the Mk III's), and I don't imagine they will change the policy once the new boots are on line, because it is in the collective memory now that running in boots is bad!!!! It couldn't be the rucksack that many of said sniv's has permanently afixed to the front of their body.......
Anyways, the whole talking about boots got me onto one of my many jihads/rants/pet-peeves. Must go to sleep now........
