Why does the military blouse their boots

Quoted: Quoted: You are not allowed to tuck your pants in your boots We can't tuck them in Tuck away. Quoted: My grandfather had told me that back in WWII that it was a thing that the Airborne did, and that they were particular about who did it. I've heard of some army types who caught hell from Airborn types for doing it. They got chiggers all over their legs I didn't get one bite Seemed to work for me Quoted: utility? Blousing inside the boots is both retarded and uncomfortable.

Maybe "okay" if you're one of those Tools that wears Corcoran jump boots everywhere. Yes, I wore Cammies in the Coast Guard too And yes, the Marine Corp blouse their pants on the outside - it's not the only thing they do smarter then the Army. Interesting blanket statement. Because we are told to. Quoted: Blousing inside the boots is both retarded and uncomfortable. Guess I'm retarded then. I blouse my ABU's into my boots and it's comfortable as can be.

Perhaps if you would take care when tucking them in, they wouldn't be as uncomfortable as just cramming the pant leg in there I think they have the worst traction known to man. Id rather fight barefoot than wear jump boots. Props to the OP's that fought across Europe in those. Quoted: Quoted: Blousing inside the boots is both retarded and uncomfortable.

I'm sorry you're retarded then Just kidding I tried multiple ways of blousing my pants during eight years of wearing pants everyday I still wear pants.

A lot of people tucktheir BDU's into their boots. For some people it may work - for me it was uncomfortable and often the BDU's would come untucked.

I tried all the aftermarket junk at the big PX too. Not impressed. Available at Camp Lejeune but I haven't found them anywhere else. Not even online. I would blouse my BDU's till about the 2nd eyehole on my jungle boots. Comfortable to me and didn't look stupid.

Never cam untucked and my uniform was always squared away. I wasn't Airborne but in my experience most of the people wearing jump boots with their BDU's were legs like myself. Seemed to be a lot of rear echelon types wearing them. Many felt that Corcoran was the perfect match for their can of Leather Luster crap. I always spit shined my boots with Kiwi and water - guess that makes me old fashioned.

I tried jump boots when I was a private and they have the traction of a dress shoe. No thanks. I'm still confused about how the army and the AF roll up their sleeves. Why not just I asked a soldier why, and he said it was so they could rapidly pull their sleeves down incase of a chemical attack. I laughed at him.

Rebus puzzle C blouse? Make sure to smooth it out to even out creases and folds. Now, pull the front part of the pant leg to place the excess of the pant leg in front of your boot.

Tuck it flat as possible as you can. You can start lacing or snug the laces but be sure that your pant leg is flat around your leg. Remember do not tighten it too much to avoid blood flow restriction. You can pull up the pant leg from inches above the boot as you wish.

You have to consider the length of your pant in doing this so it will just look right when you pull it. If you will use boot blouser, put on your pants the usual way. Put the boot blouse over your foot up to the lower calf or above the combat boot.

Pull the string around your leg and make sure that it is perfectly placed on top of the boot. Tie the blousing string and tuck it neatly underneath the pant cuff. Now pull the excess material to create a nice ballooned look on top of the boot. Repeat the same procedure on the other leg. Spread the material evenly around your leg to have the best presentation.

If you will be using a rubber band or drawstring, reach down and slide the drawstring or the rubber band at the ankle cuff. Pull it to tighten the cuff then tie it securely. Spread the pant leg to remove crease and folds.

Cover the rubber band or drawstring by pulling down the excess materials of your pant leg. The struggle here is how to keep the blousing stay put. We recommend you to use a blouse band as its material is thicker and wide enough to hold the pants. After placing the band around your calf, lace up your boots.
