Maybe they should actually let Recruits buy insoles without having a medical chit, since all Recruits are afraid to goto medical.

I also heard a rumor that they were going to replace the trainee guides with iPads. Did you hear anything about that?

What they need to do is stop letting those civilians tell Recruits what boot size to get... I went down 2 sizes when I bought a new pair in Pensacola and actually fit them properly! No blisters that time...

As far as iPads... I wouldn't hold your breath. The Army tested a program at Sill and Jackson issuing smartphones with material loaded... it didn't last.
