<p>If you buy two pairs of boots at orientation and purposely leave one pair at home during inprocessing, will the Academy issue you a third pair to have during basic? </p>
<p>-Thanks</p>
<p>Why, may I ask, would you leave a pair at home?</p>
<p>Probably dad or brother wants a pair. The money for the boots comes out of your check. You can buy all the boots you want. But; considering there's hundreds of styles, you'd be better off buying a pair online or from an Army/Navy type surplus outlet. The ones for you, you want to make sure they are the right ones.</p>
<p>Also; fwiw; again it's your money. During orientation, you can buy 3 pairs if you like.</p>
<p>Haha I personally assumed such, just curious...;)</p>
<p>well actually my mom said she already had a check for two pairs of boots, but I didn't want to lug around both pairs on I-day. So they will issue me a pair of boots no matter what?</p>
<p>you'll want both pairs of boots. the couple extra pounds will be worth having dry boots to use (my opinion)</p>
<p>Theres no way you will ever need 3 pairs of boots. I hardly ever use my second pair, only when we have training or something As a freshman, you will still rarely use a second pair if you have it. And again, they would have to be the correct kind.</p>
<p>They will force you to have two on I-day. I had a pair with me that they didn't allow me to use for BCT, and they made me get issued 2 more.</p>
<p>Going into my firstie year with the same pair since before inprocessing. Never did get another pair...still waiting for ABUs and no polish.</p>
<p>ok thanks. I think my question was a little vague, AC23 you answered it
thank you!</p>
