There were guys in my selection class with the exact same model of non-issue boots: some had to put the boots away, and the others got to use theirs. It depended on who the cadre was who came along at the time. It was pretty random. You aren't going to get anyone here to say that you are going to be OK if you deviate from the packing list. And if you did, imagine the scene during shakedown: "But Sergeant, I read on professional soldiers that it was OK to bring these boots. What am I going to do now?"
