DS has 4 yr AROTC scholarship to Norwich. When DS went to CIET last year, his ROTC unit issued 2 pairs of tan boots. So he has those in addition to the 2 pairs we purchased (both brand new,Belleville, temperate, on ebay for dirt cheap). The ones we purchased are beginning to show some wear, but really have no plans to purchase more before he graduates(2 more years after this). I am sort of hoping when he goes to CLC next year (2017), that maybe they will issue the new pattern ACU and Coyote boots! Wishful thinking, but one can dream!
