Funny, this just came up a few days ago on mids. One of the shift's "old timers" was giving the newb on afternoons grief for her boots looking like mirrors, and started in on me, too. Mine aren't shined like hers, but they're definitely better than his. "Oh it's not tactical to have your boots shined like that."
I just told him that by that logic, his shiny bald head isn't tactical, either, and FAR more likely to light him up than our boots.
