Mysterious boots hang from a ceiling.

Over 200 pairs of boots hang from the ceiling of an old, damaged building at an undisclosed location in Southwest Asia. The boots are part of a tradition that Airmen in the fuels career field started more than 20 years ago. The fuels Airmen believe that if you discard an old pair of boots according to a specific ritual, you will not be tasked to return to the same location in the future.
