Originally posted by ODIN View PostAs far as I remember, the entitlement is there if you are on a course that has a tactical ex of 72 hours plus, you are entitled to be issued a pair.
And there is no where between Coy HQ and G4 that said letter could get “lost”
And you’ll get enough notice or course as well
Or by the way no one is entitled to an issue you are entitled to “demand” there are words to that effect in L3

On another note I got issued my Scouts yesterday. The BS about only being issued the size you had in the old Haix was wadied. We got to try them on. I deliberately wore the thicker socks I would normally wear "on the ground". My normal size was too tight so I went a size up. Pity there were no half sizes as I would say that would have been a good compromise.
Sad to say though that they didn't come with anything.No spare laces/footbed or especially a maintenance product. Little leaflet just saying to use "Haix Maintenance products".
Great. Where is the average lad/Lass supposed to pick that up? And what product should they purchase even if they could???. Total cluster. Boots will be wrecked in no time.Well done DF. No forethought as usual."Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.

Under Regulations he should have been issued the boots if he met the requirements.Period.His branch of the DF is immaterial. Yes the PDF do need OP Boots.But so do AR(under certain circumstances),and especially under the current climate.

I also wonder would it be worth buying a multipack or two of the Haix cream meant for those particular boots from the suppliers and giving the lads a place to buy it from Nice little gap in the market."Let us be clear about three facts.

I worded online and the service is very good

New boots causing chaos. No definitive direction on when to wear. A9 says "As ordered". Each BDE and unit doing it differently. Whatever happened to Uniformity FFS
Also.Lack of guidance on and access to care products causing probs. Some lads boots already looking shabby after ranges etc.A lot of taxpayer money being pissed up against the wall.
Why can we never get things right? Do a bit of research with the manufacturers and issue proper kit and instructions for maintenance of equipment and issue proper guidance on it's use.Last edited by apod; 5 March 2021, 13:14."Let us be clear about three facts.
