I did some digging in some older threads, and it would appear that a large number of people said bringing your own boots wasn't a good idea (at least in years past). Most of the posts in the thread said it was up to cadre if you could or could not wear them and in reality breaking in the boots beforehand didn't spare you from the blisters. Does anyone know if this is still the case? I would hate to go out and buy a lighter, different pair of boots (I already have two pairs of standard issue Belleville's) if in the end, it's only going to make me a target when I get off the bus and I probably won't get to wear them for the majority of BCT.
