I am former Army as a contractor for an Army Unit. I may be able to help or ask around the office.

I am aware of the question, and know the answer.

answer: you can’t see the uniforms because of something called “camouflage”, which is a pattern of colours and shapes used to trick your brain. It is not in fact a cloak of invisibility like harry oppotter uses

Hi. I served 84-90. In those days, AAFES ran a Clothing Sales store and we could go there to buy uniforms. Does that still exist?

Yes. It is called clothing and sales. Has uniforms, awards, and some military related souvenirs (water bottles, coins, plaques). Etc. Need some uniforms? I have tons of old ACUS and some brand new multicam medium blouses.

If you went there to buy a Gen III, Level IV wind jacket, how much would it cost? And is all the pattern the same, or is there also a desert pattern?

Also, when they prescribe the uniform for a given formation or activity, to they prescribe Level IV, for example? And that means you have to have on the Level III underneath?

I think I still have that old field jacket. Got one of your old BDU shirts, too.

I got out in 1990 and to this day, I have dreams where I’m back, there’s a formation happening soon, and I can’t find my soft cap and I’m asking where Clothing & Sales is and can I walk there and buy my had without getting jammed up on the way.

Was not Army, cannot be of service because the level of fuck you given to Marines by commercial entities far and wide is as egregious as this “tax cut”.

—good to see that post 9/11 GI bill will at least let me have eloquent homeless signs :)

I’d check ebay or an Army surplus store near a base. You’re bound to find one cheaper. People find, steal, or don’t have them listed on their clothing record and hock them.

Unfortunately for you, they won’t sell without an active military ID (99% sure) for issue items. I would take the advice of DC3 and check ebay. I’ve never been anywhere cold enough where they don’t just specify which exact uniform to wear IRT cold weather gear, and the only time that has been specified was for a parade/ceremony.

I keep an extra PC in my car, at my desk, and in my backpack. I have always been worried about losing my PC or forgetting it. I never actually have, but a handful of times I’ve helped a friend out who forgot theirs or only had a helmet.

I get out in exactly a month now, so I hope I don’t have those paranoia episodes in the future!

I’ve been looking around. I mainly wanted to learn what that Level IV wind jacket costs at Clothing Sales.

Believe it or not, I’ve been looking all over the web and I cannot find one in XL Regular. And I’m trying to find out how much they cost at the clothing sales store.
