Was this an extreme case of OCD? Editing a post from 2008? lolBoudicca wrote: ↑November 20th, 2008, 7:23 amAppreciate it, Ranger Cams. We're kinda with you on the "personal item" issue. It's kinda like buying a used mattress; just not our thing!cams wrote:Well maam, in my opinion, you really have to get new jump boots for a couple reasons.Boudicca wrote:Anyone know a good place to buy new jump boots around Ft Lewis? My Ranger son has checked out the Foxhole but says they only have used ones. And he doesn't know if broken-in is better or not?? So, if anyone has a clue, clue me in and I'll pass it along, he's not getting internet right now, otherwise he'd ask himself. Thanks in advance.
First reason being, they're a very personal item, at least they were to me. And I wanted to be the one to put that first shine on them and break them in myself. If he's in Batt, he won't be wearing them very much at all, only with his Class A's couple times a year at most.
Second, if he's in Batt and his NCO's or Spc4's find out he bought 'used' jump boots and didn't shine them himself, he'll get his bags smoked. At least this would be the experience from my leaders there.
Right now, he's having to get patches and ribbons spaced-and-placed and I didn't know if he could order these boots through AAFES, or what?
I thank you again, Ranger Cams.
Hope all is well with you and yours.

Good to see you too, x. I spend more time on Facebook than here, as it seems more people do these days.
I've no responsibility anymore, so I've become pretty much lazy. I've been travelling Europe as often as my pocketbook allows me. My 'little' Ranger is now a fireman and my daughter is caring for big cats, bears and wolves.
How are you doing?
