Thank you! The very cool stuff is yet to come 😃
It's good to know the boots and the uniforms are much the same and I think it's because of NATO. I was told NATO is requiring Romania to use same size bullets, which makes sense as there are different troops from a lot of NATO countries in Romania now. When the Ukrainian - Russian war broke out, NATO strengthened the Romanian border as it's the longest one along with Poland.

I've been around the military for around 30 years. I came in when woodland BDUs (battle dress uniform) were used with black boots. The days of shining boots. When deployed in the middle east we wore Desert BDUs with sand colored boots.
Since I got out, which was 2001 they have had several uniform changes and some were based on troop input. The uniform for utility now doesn't have to be ironed and the boots are of a type you don't shine. Now one uniform is used basically for all utility tasks. Which is good because it's less clothes and saves money.
If this war continues and involves other countries into it. I can see an artic looking battle dress uniform being used perhaps. Let's not hope for that though.
Thanks for the info, it means a lot coming from you. Shining shoes has always been a way to punish and mock soldiers, so at least that's eliminated now :)
Yeah, let's not paint the devil on the wall, as we say in Hungarian. I had my fair share of headache for 2 weeks, when the war broke out.
