Prolly because tan suede's are either not FOD proofed or wouldn't last very long on a flight deck. Just a guess though.
Black boots are what is issued to flight deck personal. Back in my day we had to buy our own greens (pants that the Seabees wore) but the jerseys were issued. I still have 1 or 2 trouble shooter shirts left that resemble white.Why are they wearing black boots and not our tan ones?

Let me guess, some veteran line rat dropped you off behind the JBD and told you to wait right there till he got back? I never fell for that old trick but watched many others crouch and fry to it.I've had the bottom of my black boots melt to the flight deck before.

Okay, so most of the shooters are "non-jet" guys from what I understand...P-3 bubbas doing their disassociated. tour. How long does it take to spool them up to speed for carrier ops? And (to piggyback with a retarded question) how hard is it to land a seat in one of those fast pointy-nosed planes for some OJT as a shooter?
