You polish your boots with a hershey bar or something? J/K just had to give you ****.

My fav deployment pics? Hmmm... I have thousands of pics, but two cool ones that come to mind are:

1-Taken during a lightning storm in Erbil, northern Iraq, at the end of April after the war started:


2- Picture of my platoon during a trip into Erbil a few weeks later at the foot of a statue. I am the second from the right, bottom row:

 

I have a couple...
Can't show the others....

Cool Thread!!

 

SF for the win

 

Nice 135 floor shot.

 

Ha! Those are my buddies. I think his polish melted off but I can't speak for certain.


Mine (after and before shot):



I do what I can

 

I should take a pic of my Corcoran Jump Boots. I need to give them another shine but when I had them shined up good you could comb your hair looking at them and see the different parts of your eye ball in them
I am sure I have over 40hrs in them.... dress BDU's only for them.
Just KIWI black, 100% pure cotton ***** and cold purified water.....

 

Snootch wuts up with weapons handling? One dude has his 16A2 flaging the whole group.

 

Yea I am all about the KIWI, tried using the parade gloss once on my low quarters and it looked pretty good. I start off with warm/hot water and then let it go down to room temp. Helps the first layer fill in all the scuffs and dents.

 

If you become a flyer you'll rarely polish your boots since you mess them up everytime you fly.

 

They're comm guys, need I say more?
We spend more time troubleshooting circuits than putting rounds downrange- figures.

 

Rog. I haven't touched my flight boots yet, and don't plan on it. I've got marauders for work days, plain ole' flight boots for flying days

 

Never even heat mine up. I got better results the colder I got the boots to be honest. Parade is ok but not as good as a talented person with regular black. Filtered water does help out alot. Once you get to that level you have to use 100% cotton or if will leave spider scratches in the finish, just like wax on a car...
I really should go back to shining them again, it was a good relaxing hobby.
I think my sides were as shinny as your toes on those boots.

Oh and yes I do have the "work boots" the above are just the dress BDU boots that don't come out much

 

I dont know how to post pics.

 

howecome there are pics some people cant post? top secret or something?

 

OPSEC (Operational Security)

 

 

Holy **** Snoop. Should have posted a DSL Warning on those pics. i'm still trying to upload. 56K would die and crash.

 

They could post it...but then they would have to kill everyone who looked at the post.

 

Also some are rather bloody and would not be of a PG-13 nature. I know of a few guys that have a "family safe" picture book, and a "not family safe" picture book.
It would get you the ban button on here haha

 

Oops. Sorry, I re-sized it.
