<p>Will the new class start with the new boots and bdu’s?</p>
<p>Do you mean the new ABU (Grey/Blue Tiger Print) and green boots?</p>
<p>Yes - ABU and green boots.</p>
<p>I don't know, but my wild guess would be no. There are still a lot of BDUs in inventory.</p>
<p>***that is purely a guess</p>
<p>Well, we've been told that 2012 will be the first class to get them, but know one really knows when yet. I've heard that 2012 will get a set of ABU's after Beast, but that's unconfirmed. The Air Force might not give them right away though, since there aren't a lot of them yet, and the new Lt's get them first.</p>
<p>Oh, and they will replace the BDU's (at least for Cadets) completely by Fall 2011 (well, that's the plan for the time being...).</p>
<p>Well, if they do that is great news for the rest of us! That means we'll be authorized to get them and they are soooooooo much nicer! :)</p>
<p>I don't think anything is set in stone, but the plan seems to be to give them to you guys pretty early on.

<p>uniform questions get sent around here often, asking about thoughts on changes and what not. on the one not too long ago, they surveryed us to ask "If the AF is low on ABUs, should preference go to graduating seniors of '08 or the new basics coming in as 2012." i don't know the results, but that question was raised</p>
