Tried to exchange my DMS boots as the tread was worn smooth, stores bod refused to change them saying they were still serviceable, I pointed out they were lethal in the wet and nearly fell off the top decking of a Puma, I got the, that’s what safety boots are for.
I pointed out in the middle of a bloody field in the rain on exercise you expect me to lug a pair of boots along then change them before working on and getting off a Puma, sense finally prevailed when another Stores bod told him to stop being so stupid.
