I once laced up a doc with both feet in one shoe. Horrible fit is an understatement. Only fit worse was standard issue military boots, where it wasn't even a tight fit to do the same thing. The good boots are resolable though, and worth it.

Anyone who wears standard issue boots is a chump.

First IT job. Guess I now have my own "back in my day" story to tell.


(I work in managed services where companies outsource their IT to us, never expected to experience the same outsourcing).

Yeouch!

Oh, my ...... the outsource-ee get outsourced ...... I sure am glad I'm retired.

So, you're getting laid off .... ??

hmmmm...... a challenging time for you. But, I'm sure another door will open for you ...... if you look for it. Let all of your clients, contacts and friends know ....... employment leads can come from unusual places/people.

I wish you well ......

Maybe you should get a Segway for your house too. They make chair style ones too. I believe Honda and Toyota both have them

Black, able to be polished and 8" high.

I did have a pair of mark 3 boots that I wore for special occasions, aka charge parades.

One ND
One shot neglect
One as a witness

Wow We wore issue, issue and only issue. You wore what you were given or you quit (could be charged as well I suppose). If you polished your combat boots you were in big shit! Maybe just a Reserve thing with your unit? Even Navy Reserve it was issued footwear only except when actually at sea.

I was in during the Afghanistan era. Lots of war fighters coming back wearing whatever they wanted and leadership didn't care enough to make a deal out of it. There was a CANFORGEN released in 2011 or something that said "black, able to be polished and 8"”. Then, in the last few years, they started making the move to coyote coloured boots and stopped getting new stock of black boots, with the reg force guys getting first served. So, being a toon, if you needed new boots and they didn't have your size in black ones, you could buy your own and submit receipts.

Supply was an absolute shitshow in the 3 years before I got out. I only had one uniform that fit me by the time I left, because they had no stock in sizes I needed for 2 straight years, and I eventually gave up on trying to get stuff that fit since I knew I was leaving.
