Well here is my dilemma, back in 2002-2003 when I was still in those of us that were issued the old style cammies, were required to buy one pair of the new digitals. It could be either desert or woodland. At that time those of us in the fleet that had to buy the digitals could wear the old style black jungle boots, or we could buy the new brown boots to wear with the digitals. Well when I bought mine i ended up buying a set of desert digital cammies and opted to wear the black boots with them as I was a Lance Corporal and want to spend my $$ on other stuff. Well now that I am out I want to complete my set of uniforms buy buying a set of woodland digitals, and a pair of the new style boots. The thing is I went to the MCCS Uniform Store online. but soon realized that I have to be active duty, or retired to shop there. Plus I don't want to buy a set of the knock offs. I want the ones with the USMC EGA printed on them, and the embroddered EGA on the Pocket. Plus I want a official pair of boots, not some knock offs. Plus I want them brand new. I know this is kinda of a high expectation on my part. But I want to get some ideas before I turn around and just go and buy a used pair from a military surplus store. Semper Fi fellow Marines
