AR 710-1 Doesn't allow zippered boots. They have to be laced so it's out of the question for the U.S. Army, unless you feel like having command bitch at you.
If I recall, our regulations don't allow for zippered boots due to issues with them fitting loosely and breaking. I would recommend looking into lace-up boots as they tend to be much more comfortable.
Oakley is pretty common with most of the guys I know. Nike as well though I have heard they are a bit light for rucking and better for more tactical movements.
This is why I usually wear my boots around the house and on errands for a few weeks before doing anything in the field. Breaks them in with a lot less pain.
A shortage of alcohol... Impossible, everyone knows TEST is like a vortex pulling all alcohol towards it like a collapsing star. The thought alone of the keg running low is rather horrifying...
So recently I fucked up my feet rucking far to long with far too much weight with shitty socks. Decided to invest in some that did not come from a lowball goverment contract so I picked up some Fox River Stryker socks...

It's a Drake, it's not like you can afford food that doesn't clog you up for a few weeks. Just eat the chunky peanut butter on a MRE cracker on the first day and you will be fine.
