This has been and will continue to be one of my pet peeves. I hat when I see Soldiers in uniform walking around dragging their feet. To me it shows laziness and/or lack of motivation. Your thoughts? Just to be clear, I am talking about the literal act of people actually dragging their feet when they walk.

I had a Solider once tell me his boots were too heavy for him to pick up his feet and walk properly. So one night while he and I were serving staff duty together, I had him strap those little leg-weight-sandbags to his ankles and walk around when he had to do his checks until his legs were strong enough to not drag his boots.

I haven't noticed a significant number of people dragging their feet.
But it does drive me crazy when people have boots that squeak. There are two people in my shop that have squeaky boots, and if I had the $$$ to spare, I'd buy them both new boots just so I don't have to hear them walk around.

I thought it was closer to $150, but when I looked them up to write this post, they were $270 for smooth leather and $299 for suede.
Actually... scratch that. Those are the prices on the manufacture's website. The NEX lists them for $80 smooth and $150 suede.

Very aggravating. The same Soldiers typically then either complain that nothing gets done or complains that they have to stay late. The worse ones though are the ones who do not care and walk off as they are "protected" by someone else who is dragging their feet that is higher than others. It is pointless to pay them if they are not doing their job. As the saying goes "s--t or get off the pot". Some better qualified Soldiers are looking at that slot and wondering why they cannot get promoted.
