    "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.

          Did you mean to say "the go live" or "they go live" ?
          For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

          • What about those who have been seen wearing them all along, what's their story?

              The only people supposed to have them were issued them for overseas missions (but had to retain them on return home pending the rollout to everyone else) .They were not authorised to wear them "on island".Yet some people did. Now they can wear the "legally".

                      I would say eventually, after the last of the black boot stock has been issued out. So in theory could be months or longer.

                      However, as they are ops boots, I'd say you could get away with it on the ground.
                      What are you cackling at, fatty? Too much pie, that's your problem.

                      • Ok,Are AR issued OPS Boots? Yes. Under certain circumstances.
                        So.It stands to reason that if the Haix scouts are what is on issue as OPS boots then you will be allowed to wear them(remember the old Haix are now only being issued to PDF Inductees). Nothing in the rollout plan mentions the AR. Then again that can go two ways.It doesn't say the AR will NOT get them. In time.

                          Reading between the lines is great fun!

                              • You an RDFRA member? If so what did they do about this??
                                What did your OC do? Your CS? Your CQ?? Did you just accept the BS and walk away or fight your ground. Nothing will come of nothing.
