I remember my dad having to polish his boots for his Woodlands back in the day... felt like it took him hours to do it every few weeks, but then again I was a kid, so an hour felt like hours ;p . He retired just a few months shy of 40 years (mandatory retirement age) as an E-8 -- very proud of my old man :) .

@DavionWest 3 года назад

40 years wow!! He really served!

@Capitan_Doug_Keith Год назад

As a former Captain in the Army, when I was a 1st lt in Germany I had a Staff Sergant who, honestly, I could not get through inspections without him. He always found the problems if there were any and I almost had a perfect inspection record thanks to him.

The US Army should have never gotten rid of shoe shining in basic training all those years ago. Its an art that if you don't know what you're doing then it can be daunting.

@Rockinruffhouser 2 года назад

We should go back to bdu’s with the black leather boots. When bdu’s are starched, and boots are shined, they look really sharp. I however came in 2014 so we had those hideous acu’s with the ucp pattern. So gross compared to bdu and dcu

Just retired with 21 years and bought the AGSU because it was very nice. I opted for Allen Edmonds Leeds in shell cordovan for shoes. If going with calf (leather) Cigar is the color match. The issue shoes are junk construction. Also, please put some edge dressing on those soles LT!

@jrbluedup 3 года назад

I just bought the agsu for flight school graduation. I didn't know the shoes had to be shined...

@DavionWest 3 года назад

I have to look in the regulation to see if it’s mandatory. But shoes polished/ spit shinned always look better.

@jrbluedup 3 года назад

I personally think the shoes look better unshined for the agsu because its not a flashy uniform.

The army had the khaki dress uniform in world war 2 I own a uniform dated 1944 an army air corp uniform. The navy had them I know in world war 2 I know the navy had them also in the late 2000’s early 2010’s. I think the army air corp officer had also a white uniform but it’s rare I think.

Uniform inspection INSTEAD of PT? Why not Inspection AFTER PT? Also, look at DA PAM 670-1. You CAN shift your wings, but the outside of the wings Should be lined up with the outside left edge of your ribbons, NOT centered on the outside left edge of your ribbons..
