Yes?

Do you know if promat is getting sent out or are we waiting for the bake sale?

Not going to the drilling event, didnt even know there was one. Cant make it

That is a question best forwarded to Thomas. He is sending stuff out, yes, but you could ask him if you could pick up your order at the event. There will also be Primary for sale there in general.

Any recommendations for boots for marching?

My work boots arent cutting it

These are the ones I use, my pair have served me well for years, both in work, activism, trudging up mountains and through snow. Bates is also one of the boot makers that is highly preferred by the U.S. military.

With the black Friday sale going on you can probably get a decent discount off them too. Code is "BLACK FRIDAY".

Nice thanks, looks like its only available in black

Would these work? https://www.batesfootwear.com/US/en/8%22-tactical-sport-side-zip/41369M.html?dwvar_41369M_color=E02207

Black or tan works for the activism uniform but if you need tan specifically there are plenty of options on Bates. Check through the Tactical and Military Branch sections and you will see plenty of tan boots. I do recommend considering something with water resistance, it really does come in handy, composite toe is nice too.

Those specific pair you linked I'm sure are good of course though I have never used them, Bates generally has a very good reputation for their products.

I'll look into these Thanks

Also Happy Thanksgiving

No problem, glad to help. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family as well.
