I am seeing conflicting information from what I am reading on the packing list to what I am hearing from people just coming back from jump school.

I don't see the Airborne school being that picky. It's a quick course.Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made May 25 at 2016 12:58 PM2016-05-25T12:58:41-04:002016-05-25T12:58:41-04:00SSG Private RallyPoint Member1560375<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>All AR670-1 compliant.

All they have are the Standard issue combat boots. The ARTB web site states: BAC students are only authorized to wear issued combat boots with no alterations. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.benning.army.mil/infantry/ARTB/">http://www.benning.army.mil/infantry/ARTB/</a> <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-default">

Don't.Response by CPT Private RallyPoint Member made May 25 at 2016 11:20 PM2016-05-25T23:20:47-04:002016-05-25T23:20:47-04:00SSG Private RallyPoint Member1565725<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I'm an instructor in the 507th, only AR 670-1 compliant boots are authorized.Response by SSG Private RallyPoint Member made May 26 at 2016 6:41 PM2016-05-26T18:41:26-04:002016-05-26T18:41:26-04:00SSG(P) Private RallyPoint Member1567486<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You can wear whatever is authorized in AR 670-1.Response by SSG(P) Private RallyPoint Member made May 27 at 2016 9:42 AM2016-05-27T09:42:14-04:002016-05-27T09:42:14-04:00MAJ Ronnie Reams8071592<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It used to be that one only wore the Cochran Jump boots after completion of the course and wings awarded.
