As for that excerpt from 670-1, I'm not sure if perhaps it was modified by a local commander or Army-level memo, but for at least three years now, I've seen conventional soldiers wearing the issued tan desert boots with BDUs at both Ft Carson and Peterson AFB on a frequent basis, and I recall the issue being discussed among senior NCOs and found allowable when I was working for an Army MACOM on Pete.
When I was back at SWCC everyone I was with wore BDU/Desert Boots. They told us it was good to go. A lot guys I know left in the Q still wear BDU with deserts. But according to the Army Times BDUs wear out date is April 30th 2008

Would that be an ACU or BDU thong?

When they do a Snivel Gear (spelling) check, they will make you drop your pants. Wear a turquoise thong over pink speedos. You may get a positive assessment.

Razor, sure am, thanks ! Keeping busy here, we are hosting the International Security Conference in Munich next weekend, lots of big brass is expected so security's tight. Will be back in CONUS in April for 10 days, KS. this time.

As for the thong thing, hope the MCSS carries them in ACU ? Need to get a anniversary gift for my wife...

It is still this way today, I wore BDU's with tan desert boots until i arrived at the JSOMTC and still wear them for certain activities. But that ends the 30th of April.

Search button broken, or just looking for personalized attention?

Again, what does the word "issued" mean to you?
