Re: 21/23 SAS

The smart thing to do would be to call them, and ask: "Will I have to wear issue boots, or can I wear my own?" Any odd job could answer you on here, claiming to know it all. Boots are the most important bit of kit you'll ever own in this job, if you can't get to the fight then you're no go...
