Good video. I was in an Infantry unit for 8 years. Most of us tied our boot similar to the second method but we double knotted the bow and tucked in. Also we never wore blousing bands- we tucked the pant leg into the boot. There is a very good reason: when you're in the field for extended periods of time the blousing band cuts off the circulation and becomes uncomfortable and your pant leg can ride up when going over obstacles. When you're deployed or in the field, comfort and tactical function are everything.

@dxpdigital5343 Жыл бұрын

You’re either wrong or a liar. Boots are blouses to keep bugs, dirt etc out of your boots and trousers (pants). Comfort isn’t anything on a combat deployment. You know you trying to steal valor and don’t even try to pretend like your goofy little field ops that you were too lazy to blouse your boots in were anything like a combat deployment

@@dxpdigital5343 Former Soldier here, we were okay with both boot bands and tucking in the pant, but we strongly encouraged tucking in the pant leg into the boot when in the field. For garrison, it was generally agreed among us that it looked more professional if you wore boot bands, but again, it was a preference as both methods were AR 670-1 approved. Anecdotally, I noticed Marines ALWAYS used boot bands, so your reaction makes me think you guys did indeed NOT have a choice between boot bands and tucking in the pant. OP didn't specify branch, so he could have meant Army Infantry, thus he wouldn't be wrong. You blowing up at OP for something that was a choice in the Army sounds a bit silly to me. I don't know about the cutting off circulation part (could be true for the stouter guys with huge ankles), but I do agree with OP that I also didn't enjoy wearing boot bands when going over obstacles and that comfort and function trump looking neat and smart in a field/deployed environment.

@@dxpdigital5343 Army Infantry 11B then Airborne Air Assault and then 25V Combat Doc Spec. - Blousing bands are called Blousers or blousing bands depending on the company commanders preference - we do not blouse our tactical pants, WE BLOUSE OUR BOOTS or we Tuck our tactical pants with a fold to the rear on each side into our tactical boots. Again, this is depending on the preference of the company commander. Do Blousing bands/Blousers/blousing STRAPS get used all of the time? No. Modern tactical pants have draw strings built into the end of each tactical pant leg. Why do I keep saying TACTICAL? Because I've only utilized blousing bands for my Dress Blues that do not have the draw strings built in. Hooah! I have however deployed with different company commanders as 25V and with an Airborne background the blousing of the boots with the built in draw strings on the tactical pants, it was mandatory to blouse your tactical pants under the 2nd eyes of your tactical boots to keep them from riding up. This can be done by preference of the soldier - a blousing band is faster to remove than the built in draw strings and they also have another purpose, where company commanders brief and you are informed of it being mandatory to utilize your Blousing BANDS. The blousing bands also aid the soldier in INFLATING of their tactical pants if a drop point is into water to help conserve energy while beaching. There are 2 types of blousers that I've used. Blousing Bands and Blousing Straps - Straps are round, Bands are flat and one half of an inch wide. Blousing Bands are used by Paratroopers because they stay in place better. Both are used to BLOUSE YOUR TACTICAL BOOTS.

Interesting methods. Being Australian, the most efficient method I learnt many years ago when I was in the cadets (Air Force cadets funnily enough, although we were heavily into Army as well :P), it's how the Australian military used to do it by using the single length all the way through the boot. Simply tie a knot in one end, starting at the bottom eyelet, left or right one doesn't matter, with the knot inside, then feed the lace across to the opposite eyelet. To work your way up from there it's a matter of feeding the lace into the next eyelet directly above from underneath, not going diagonally across to the next eyelet above. The lace runs straight across from one eyelet to the next so there's still only a single lace over the tongue. So basically, with the knot underneath the first eyelet you feed the lace up through that eyelet, run the lace straight across to the next eyelet, down through the top, then up from underneath the eyelet directly above the last one, not diagonal to. Then just repeat that all the way to the top eyelets. By the time you reach the top, you're left with a single lace which you wrap around the top of the boot and finish it off like the first method shown in this video. Easy. It's surprisingly easy to adjust the tightness as well. The main advantages of this is in the event of sustaining an injury and needing to remove the boot in a hurry it's just a matter of cutting through a single lace along the boot instead of double laces, making it much quicker. I find it's a much quicker method for tying off the boot as well :)

Yep, blouse over the boot. Put your band on (on this boot I'd guess somewhere beneath the first speedlace ring), bring trouser leg over the top and tuck under the band. Band should sit inside the trouser leg, along the stitch line of the hem. This stops the trousers from riding up as you have enough material, but more importantly any rainwater will run down over your boot instead of wicking down the inside, as it would if you'd tucked them in.

The Marine Corps does not allow you to tuck your trousers into your boots. Different branches have different rules. The Army does allow you to tuck your trousers into your boots though. I personally prefer to use boot bands because I believe that tucking the trousers into the boots could create a hot spot and rub against your leg inside the boot. However I have never tried it so I wouldn't know for sure. It is a matter if personal preference. Try both and see which one you prefer.

Officer Candidate OCS where did you get the green skivvy shirt with “Marines” in white lettering from? I really like it

@officercandidate5415 6 жыл бұрын

It was issued to me by my recruiter. You get it once you are selected to go to OCS.

Which way would you have to tie them for bootcamp?

@officercandidate5415 7 жыл бұрын

You can use any technique you like.

@trentenswett6306 6 жыл бұрын

Lace them left over right, then how you tie them kinda depends on your platoon, I have seen some that taught recruits to tie the laces around the boot on the outside, to those who where told to tie them and tuck them so they are not showing.

@Riceball01 5 жыл бұрын

I was never taught a specific way of tying my boots in boot camp, the only thing my DIs ever specified was that the laces had to be tucked in to the boots, that was it.

Hi I am corporal kianoo of the California Cadet Corps and we have these caramel colored uniforms and I always have these weird issues with my boot bands they always look too baggy tight in the front loose in the back so I'm going to use this method hopefully it works and since I'm going to be high position next year it's between s1 - s4 or even the co so I need to look sharp

I was in the Corps from '92 to '96. We were just starting to get issued jungle boots with the speed lace system. Later our black leather combat boots had the system. I can't believe no one back then even THOUGHT of putting the little knots on the ends of the laces to keep them from coming out. LOL. Man, this video would have been a lifesaver 26 years ago. LOL. Good job brother!

Recommended...…? I would recommend... to you "Sir" not to use those "boot bands". For those who have not been in the military...… here is a hint. We very often go out in the woods for training where ticks and insects thrive.....you will definitely want to tuck your pants in the boots. This will prevent ticks and insects crawling up under your pants....and will probably reveal themselves after you do your nightly "self inspections" for the said bugs. These so called "boot bands" are garrison only practices which in my opinion which defeats the purpose of the "train as you fight" mentality. But hey....20yrs in the Army, countless training exercise in the woods and three deployments to warzones only taught me so much.

@ForrestAger 4 жыл бұрын

I agree. I'm currently an Marine Officer Candidate and I would much rather tuck them in. I live out in the woods and I feel where you're coming from. Good point.
