I am in the Coast Guard, and we are required to blouse our pants. FYI all the naval services do this: Navy, Marines Corps, and Coast Guard. Army and Air Force don't use blousing straps; they just tuck them in.
By the way, your boots are most likely made in China... or at least in that part of the world.
I am in MCROTC, and we use these green bands with hooks (boot bands) they work better then rubber bands, but rubber bands are useful if you lose them ^.^
I like the boots. Though, I would suggest using strong rubber bands so that they stay in place. When I blouse my boots, they do not even move one inch and they look beautiful. I put the rubber band around my leg as tight as possible, put on the boots, pull my pants to my ankles, bring the bottom opening of the pants up so that they are inside out, pull the rubber bands down to where the boot laces are. Oh, and tuck in the boot laces... it looks so much better.
@snakeeater5fox funny thing is a usmc showed me this style. that and Im sure with it being bootcamp and all, theyre going to teach you Plenty. best of luck to you.
@snakeeater5fox blousing boots are the same. I just spent a week running missions, and half the the people in my humvees were marines, the other half army like me. We both blouse our boots, and we both do it one of two ways: with straps or cords, or just by tucking the pantlegs into the tops of the boots and folding the excess down. This guy is an assclown bc he's wearing multicam with a mossy oak cowboy hat, white socks, and zipper boots.
@snakeeater5fox Traditionally, Army didn't blouse their boots, they tucked them into the boot, this video shows the same way I learned in the Marine Corps- keeping talking to people like shit, nasty civilian....
25 cents at the PX will get you a pair of blousing bands. But I guess for civilians you can use hair ties. Either way they work the same. In the Army we're supposed to keep our laces tucked in and we have to blouse our trousers up above our boots. I just tie my trousers around my ankle and wear them under my boots. I only watched this video to find other ways to blouse boots. Always good to learn new shit right?
u didnt even do it right dude. no disrespect but they look like shit at least put the boot band at the top of your boot and tuck it in all the way so it doesnt look like your wearing high waters....and tuck your fuckn lases in!!!!
blousing boots are stupid. never did it once when i was over seas. no point in doing it. sure it looks good in garrison, but in the field its pointless. i guess it stops bugs from crawling up you pants.
I think you just contradicted yourself there. Blousing offers protection. It stops insects and assorted nasties looking for a warm place to hide, it stops foreign objects entering your boots, it reduces wear on the bottoms and you're not as likely to snag on anything like bushes, trees etc. I'll grant you there's not much woodland in Afghanistan, but do it the same way every time and you're not going to get caught out. That's just good drills.
Nothing wrong with that D, But, I did my time.....You Blouse the Pants around the ankle to keep out the bugs. Then you roll them down over the boots...
sorry but I never ever saw anyone do it like this other than in basic training and after we morons did it like this our TI laid into us for being dumb and re-educated our young dumb arses on the proper way. But you being a civi with no military knowledge ..... well you did what you thought would work. Nice attempt keep working on it.
@derekgrebner87 LOL they do not meet OSHA standards but they look good. This is typical. I personally do not care about OSHA but some have to so it is a factor sometimes when buying boots.
Im not sure about active duty army but in ROTC they dont allow any boots with zippers, i wear the standard issue crappy boots because I actually got a comfortable pair (after 4-5 times going to supply and switching them out.)
I loosely tuck my trousers into my boots, it looks the same but i can't quiet get the tops of my boots as tight as i like when I try to blouse them but it gets pretty hot in spring quarter, anyone recommend a good pair of boots that the Army likes that are comfortable?
@MegaGewehr where I live steel toe boots are seriously not a good idea. In cold temps that reach -30 to -40F and you have steel toes......kiss the toes good-bye from frost bite.
@danhilts I was in the ROK when temperatures were around -20F, and my feet didn't get cold wearing Bates USMC steel toe boots. I dunno if it's because the leather, my good cardio, or the cold weather socks. Here in KS it rarely gets below 0, so I can't really test it out further.
A few of my buddies have the 5.11 boots and won't STFU about them!
turning back. a little 10 year old girl was raped and murderded in 1945. her body was not found until 1947. then a boy last week read this and did not copy and paste this message. the dead girl appeared in his room haunting him and killed him. if you do not copy and paste this onto 10 vidoes in 30 minutes the dead girl will apear in your room tonight and haunt you and kill you. well you better start to copy and paste to be saved
