Afmom2020, will all of that information be in the appointee kit? And when is this information typically given out?
Sorry for so many questions. No one ever tells you what to do AFTER you get in, it's always just pre information
For the Class of 2019, we were allowed to bring and wear our own boots if we wanted to. I know of people who wore Nikes for all of Basic. I would not bother bring your own because they will be super dirty and gross after Basic. The Nikes that were worn in Basic were generally pretty beat up at the end. Also, you probably won't be rucking in Basic at all. Just marching and running.
That was Class of 2018. This past summer, I do not know of anyone who was not allowed to wear the boots they brought. My roommate wore her Danners through all of Basic, and I had my parents send my Nikes right after A-Day. However, it is always true that they could change that again for the Class of 2020.This is squadron dependent. DO NOT COUNT ON THIS.
My DD was in a squadron that did not allow anything but the Basic boots until 2nd semester of doolie year.
The only thing constant in the Air Force is change.That was Class of 2018. This past summer, I do not know of anyone who was not allowed to wear the boots they brought. My roommate wore her Danners through all of Basic, and I had my parents send my Nikes right after A-Day. However, it is always true that they could change that again for the Class of 2020.
