Good to know, I'll check when I get back in the office. Do the JI list a start date? Sent from my XT1563 using Tapatalk

I'm in the same boat. I'm on the army side. I'm on tasking, so I'm continually checking the CFSMI page. I'll be a happy bunny if I don't have to wait until the winter. Sent from my XT1563 using Tapatalk

Good to know I'm not the only one. Are you reg or Res? Sent from my XT1563 using Tapatalk

There's no INT OP QL3. Sent from my XT1563 using Tapatalk

Can you confirm this is the INT OP QL5? I'm waiting to be loaded on one. Sent from my XT1563 using Tapatalk

No, I've never been issued a pair of used boots. If your BMQ is anything like mine, you won't be allowed non-issue boots. I know in Halifax, I got issued a pair of goretex and a pair of LOTBs (Although I am on my 3rd pair of the latter) Sent from my XT1563 using Tapatalk

Hi Doc, I'm a reserve INT NCM in Halifax. If you're going reserve, you'll be in 3 INT COY. If you want to touch base with the Recruiter there, PM me and I'll pass along their email. I have nothing but positive things to say about her, too. Officers in my unit did BMQ (C) on weekends through...

My experience with the LOTB. The Terra ones are the nicest. I did have an eyelet break on my first pair. The Royer (Zipped) ones are garbage.Third time putting them on, the zip snapped. I went back and got another pair of Terra boots, just because a broken eyelet is better than a broken...

Update on my end: Went to the Dockyard supply, and they had a pair of LOTBs with a minor issue, they're missing the lower quick-lace eyelet (Lace can be threaded through the hole, so no big deal. In my quick once over and try on, they're really nice. Cut a lot lower than the black Cripplers...

Ahhh, I see. Now, for a poor no-hook, no clue, would you be able to explain the LPO process?... Thanks in advance! Sent from my XT1563 using Tapatalk

Yeah, that's what I mean by Army, Navy, and Air Force. I might ask about LPO, however I'm on BMQ at the moment, so I feel like A: Theres hardly a need for me to have boots right this moment, and B: Even if I did get them, at the start of the crse, the crse WO specifically stated that non issued...

No, but they said they were ordering a "shitton" of boots as of yesterday. That's when they quoted the month figure. We'll see how it turns out. The Army, Navy, and Air Force supplies are all out of boots in anything even close to a 275/108. I've been wearing my Surplus Mark IIIs for awhile...

I hope Halifax gets the LOTB soon. I've only been issued one pair of wet weathers, and none of the local clothing stores have any other boots in my size. Clothing estimates another month until they get any boots in at the least. At least I'm only PRes, and not full time RegF.

Well, one tries. I'll start seeing what I can do. Thanks for the advice. I hadn't seen that upon my trawling of army.ca. Looks like I have a good nights reading set out for me. Thanks for the words of advice. I know throwing a tantrum is hardly going to help my case, after all!

Thanks. I think that is, quite unfortunately, the case. I have considered approaching my unit, but to be quite frank, it's a bit embarrassing. Cheers, thanks for your input.
