Is there a chance to break into your boots before depot, when do they issue you those bad boys?
cheers

I am going to depot in a month or so and haven't been issued them yet. I think that you get them when you get there

mm1306 is right, you get your boots issued a day or two after you arrive at Depot along with the rest of your kit.

You can bring anything you like but it doesn't mean you'll be allowed to wear them.

First time was DAOR (basically means I opted out) second time I was medically discharged. And yes I still want to join the Paras, but may have to wait before re-applying as I've had an operation on my knee but I'm keeping my fingers crossed on that one. Anyway third times a charm or so they say!
