The Service pattern flying boots did have a nominal “tread” but not enough depth / pattern gap to pick up FOD. There used to be thin “lines” of shallow tread across the main area of the sole with plain heels. It then changed to a pattern of small circular “dimples” on the sole. Dunno what the current issue is.

When was that from? We’ve been told 2AEF wants No 3s!
It did say “or ideally PCS . . . Aka No#3”

Many cadets (and staff) have made similar remarks.
Believe me, this is not how most staff feel the situation should be….
There is an “aim” to try to deliver at least one slot per year - but access to resources / available instructors / favourable weather etc, often go against us.

what is frustrating for me is there appears to be
1 - little acknowledgement of this wording in policy by the paid staff
2 - with no acknowledgement there appears to be little interest in making it happen
3 - As it is not being acknowledged there no acceptance it is being missed there is no obvious desire to change it to meet the “aim” by the powers that be
