Re: Boots
The standard issue boot was a little hard for me to break in, but after that it was fine.
The started a system here in Iraq called RFI (rapid fielding initiative). This program was set up to get very usefull equipment to the troops on the ground in the theater.
Part of the items issued were two pairs of new boots. Somtimes it's Bellville's, Somtimes it's Danner's.
There is a winter pair, and a summer pair. I have not used my winters yet, but have not stopped using the summer boots. They are very comfortable.
My advise, use the issue boots untill you get your RFI, I don't think you'll be able to buy any that are more comfortable. AND THEIR FREE..
Other RFI items
underarmor long john's, fleece liners for gortex(top and bottem), cammelback, wick away socks, dry weave t shirts, nomex gloves 2pr. 1 winter 1 summer, rigger belt, goggles, & the new kevelar helmet.
