given any options; they use what they’re given and tuff shit if they don’t like it.
But once you’ve completed boot camp, you are allowed to make private purchases
of gear (as long as it’s approved gear).
I’d suggest holding off on buying any boots for the above reason and because you
might get a military discount on them once you’ve finished basic training.
