upon enlistment, u given 2 standard leather boots of ur foot size.

goretex boots are produced for u to purchase at emarts. they are lighter, flexible, waterproof yet breathable, and cost a bit more...

leather: $80 ++?
goretex: $120 ++?

mhcampboy SG

now issue all leather already?.. my time..goretex... nice... Laughing

eac SG

it is because of the cut cost initiative using the intranet suggestion WITS... cut cost cut cost cut cost... cut waste panel.

AhJun SG

stellazio SG

AhJun SG

mono intake got leather or goretex boots? combat unit

Hmm... the issuing of boots seem to be different among the different intake of bmt. The mono intake will receive one pair of goretex and one pair of normal leather boots while those in tekong will receive two pair of leather.

My mono intake friends in cdo, SAR and SIR received one goretex and one leather boots.

eac SG

YES, kid boy boy... unless u cry in front of the officer like a little girl asking her mother to buy a barbie doll for her while window shopping...

seriously... the truth hurts... but it is the truth... so die die must buy... unless u beg, steal or borrow.

eac SG

it got someting to do with the intakes number... tekong recruits per year VS. mono recruits per 2 years. makes better economic sense in terms of cost savings for mindef.

and the half year reduction in ns also saves a lot a lot of money... combined the allowances, cookhouse foods/money paid to suppliers, bunk logging...

mhcampboy SG

nope.. my bmt in tekong..2004.. goretex... Surprised

eac SG

the 2 leather standard issued boots is only implemented from 2005 onwards after the WITS idea was approved and praised in an internal published magazine.
