Yes it is true you may bring a pair of personnal sneakers. However you can only wear them for the PF assesment. The rest of the time you will wear the issed sneakers. As far as stress fractures are concerned if you have had them before you need to get on a calcium suplement now and keep taking it. Also make sure you disclose this at MEPS especially if there is a history. They have sent some home for severe stress fractures however most are put on light duty and allowed to continue on in another week of training once they are healed.
I bought some nice "go fast's" prior to boot camp and had to leave them in my locked up see you when your done with boot camp bag...they issued us our offical "go fast" shoes and that was the only thing we were allowed to wear.
