The boots that were recently disallowed either were not tested, or failed safety tests according to DA and DOD standards.

Even when I was a civilian, I couldn't tell the difference. Personally, as long as it is comfortable for the wearer, is everything proof, and at least looks the part, then it should pass.

I almost s*** my pants when I heard the recruits were given "timeout" cards to wave when they're stressed. If a fire breaks out on the ship, I would like to see the reaction of the skipper if somebody tries handing him or her a timeout card.
