If I confused anybody regarding boot styles maybe this will clear things up...
If you come to SFAS, we will check your boots..if you have any boot that looks, sounds, acts, or feels like a tennis shoe, resembles a Hi-tech, Oakley, Adidas, or anything close...we will not allow you to use them....if you spend lots of $$$$$ having a high speed sole put on your boots, it better not change the make up to be like a tennis shoe style.....we will confiscate them and you will have to borrow boots from your buddies.... BLUF...don't try to get over..wear an approved Army issue boot...bring 2 pair of well broken in boots...SFAS is NOT the place to break them in, and toughen your feet up before you come here. You will get blisters.... you will ruck long distances with heavy stuff.... and you will carry even more heavy stuff in team week...all the SFAS cadre know the tricks and you aren't going to fool anybody...we've heard every reason, excuse, justification there is.
Here is the SFAS packing list that was put out NOV 2006...pay attention to Note #3....
