Proof positive that officers get issued the new stuff before the troops :P

I get that the CF is transitioning to these, but from a personal standpoint I just don't like 'em. Brown (at least when I was in) was meant for deployment in warm/desert environments, and for getting out of polishing your regular boots before base commanders banished them as on-base wear....two weeks after I got mine :P Oh well, I still had enough fun irritating some instructors going through IST by attending with my LBV. "It has to be an issued item!" they said; "It is an issued item." I replied LOL!

As for logitechboys09, be aware that there are a number of former and current serving members of the CF on these boards. If you know something and can provide proof, by all means post away. But these folk can also be good resources if you're looking for any information too. Anyway, that wasn't meant to sound like I'm flaming you, and I hope you don't take it that way.
