    Boots for bct?

    Belleville boots went to the shoe shop and the red mulch came out! YES!! They don't look new any more though. The big question from the shoe shop guy is, why suade? Yes, in mud or other stuff, this suade is rough to clean. Are these more "flight" boots? Curious.

    Confused about Boys State - anyone can go?

    In Florida, it was by nomination and there only so many spots. The event was paid for by the American legion sponsor, no cost to the student.

    BCT issued boots - sizing ?

    Well, DS worked out with his boots in mulch that was colored red. I have them at a shoe shop now, but am betting they won't come clean, (less red stained).

    Boy's State

    If you are genuine, enthusiastic and patriotic you'll do fine in the American Legion interview. If you have family that had served, I think that is important.

    Boy's State

    Btw, I did girls state in California in the late 80's. From my experience, you'll know how to run for office and if you have the support to do so. Top spots aren't for everyone. You'll see.
