Shining your military shoes/boots

[95fbirdkid]

None of them have jobs and most of them have easy majors, so their shoes are like black mirrors.

ROTC cadets are those i boot camps that really screw things up, thinking they caindo everything, but nothing exactly teh way the Instructor trains them to do. Basically, they're blanket party bait. :D

you're either at DFAS or Buckley, aren'tcha?

[L32Projekt]

Buckley. While it's not a bad assignment, the people here are MORONS (myself included)! :D

I'm looking into retraining, I open up next month. Time to see SMSgt Schwanke! I gotta get out of SFS and into something that will keep me mentally active and much more school friendly schedule-wise.

Good tips on polishing here, I may try the pantyhose thing.

Good advice. I have to deal with a lot of that, being in the Marines. If you want to stand out and impress higher, you can do better than have mirror shined footwear.

Majesky, I've never heard of Lincoln wax. Is it really THAT much better than Kiwi? Is it like:

Lincoln = Zaino?
Kiwi = Turtle Wax?

To me, yes, it is. It's a stain wax, so it really soaks into the leather. It won't flake off like Kiwi. Plus it gets a deeper, blacker shine and is easier to keep looking good. Go and try a can of it. You won't be dissapointed

just ordered 3 cans of the lincoln stuff. hope its half as good as you say it is. :cool:

[majeskyb]

cool, let me know what you think of it. I can't find any of my boot supplies, so I think it's time to order some more

As for the Lincoln wax stuff, we have a "few" overachievers in our squadron's backoffice and they swear by it. Too bad it doesn't teach them how to do their jobs... :(
