    No need to be formal: I served 10 months and made it to Hauptgefreiter after 9 months.

    Being in the reserve I had some unpleasant experiences with the Grennies...

    Looks like we have it cheap in Australia, the bands are sewn into the hem of the trousers with a toggle to tighten it

    Thumbs up

    update.
    I bought the Acadia's and I love them! Ive hade them for almost 2 years now and they are the best boot ive ever owned. Im on my second pair of soles and the lether and everything else is still going strong. Only thing ive had go wrong with them is i had to re-stich a small section of the boot.

    I never accepted tucking pants into boots and I would give the new recruits hell for that(not nearly the stupidest reason to, there were plenty of other excuses competeing for that title). It looked stupid, and the bands cost 1,20 € at the nearby cafe/shop at our garrison, so not affording them was no excuse.
    Altho I never understood why they weren't issued but had to be purchased separately. After all we all got a shaving kit worth 17 € on our first day so...

    The one problem with rubber bands are the thickness/quality. I've seen cadets on parade with their trousers nicley done with bands. Then they make a single right turn, band snaps, cue one stupid-looking trouser hem.

    One thing you could do is bulk buy a load, and sell them off to other recruits for profit. from what I've heard, you can make quite a turnover. (Friend of mine, currently in the TA, did the same and made himself £50)

    Wow did you entirely miss the reason why this thread is so damn long to begin with?

    X2 I think all points about boot bands have been made and this thing needs to end, unless it gets really funny again

    I don't think he truly understood what band they were asking for:

    He'll be safe to date any one's daughter after training.
