I was wondering if I could use inserts instead of buying cold weather boots for Ranger school. On the packing list it says "200 g or 400 G Max thinsulate or inserts." I'm going through a rough time financially and I'm trying to avoid buying those boots. Ranger Savings Program lol. Any information about Ranger school is also appreciated as well.
PS can a unit force you into stabilization even though you did not sign anything to stabilize? Any information about this is helpful as well.

Take care of your feet and they will take care of you...some things you can get away with buying lessor quality, but your boots are not one of them. I know its tight but 2 weeks in and you will know the difference.

As for the stability, the answer is no.... And yes... It just depends on the nature of the stability code. I know at one point the 82nd required you to agree to submit a request for stability if you passed Ranger School.

I was preparing for ALC and wanted to walk on for ranger school. My packet was kicked back because bde said it did not have a 4187 for stabilization. I took the packet (which was signed by company and BN commander) and using it to walk on.

Typically when a unit pays for you to go to school, they want to get some use out of you
