Jim Donica, right, talks with a Soldier as Airmen, Soldiers and an Egyptian air force officer try on new pairs of steel-toed boots at the 82nd Training Group's Boot Issue room at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas, June 28, 2018. Some career fields in the Air Force and other services require the protective boots to be worn because of the inherent hazards those jobs pose. Donica and others hand out more than 750 pairs of boots annually to Airmen whose basic training-issued boots don't fit properly or to members of other services or international students needing the protective gear.
