scuttlebutt's been inconsistent, I was told that black boots were to disappear by Oct. 2003, but then heard that date was pushed back because the Corps can't get MARPATs to Marines fast enough, and that black boots would be allowed for at least another year.

Anyone hear anything? I need to know if i should buy a new set of tan jungles or black boots for seniors next year.

Also, what would be the absolute best black boot to buy for PT/humps/etc?

The OCS website recommends bringing broken-in black boots for PT and humps, etc. Tlaked to my OSO assistant and he confirmed that.

Affirm, black boots are out by 01 Oct 2004. There is a topic at the Marine Corps Uniform Board right now to delay the deadline and the date may get pushed back. If it does it will be published in a MARADMIN. When/if it gets pushed back, get a pair of black leather jungle boots for PT and humps. They will turn out to be the best thing since sliced bread. Semper Fi!
