Uniforms

[hopeful_army_NP]

Has anyone ordered there uniforms(ASU) online from Marlow White?

How was the experience? How long did it take to get the Uniforms? Did you save money compared to buying at a base store?

I report to OBLC on March 29th, not sure if I even have enough time to purchase the ASU now but would like to try if it makes sense to get ahead of time.

Thanks

Hi Peach:

Congratulations on finally receiving your orders! Hey, I know I suffer from CRS syndrome (Can't Remember S***) Smile, but a lot of the information you seek should be on your orders (FOR OBC)

And I agree: Get your beret stinking wet, wet WET and leave it dry completely on your head, wearing your hair the way you will.

But I would suggest, before wetting it, you know the cardboard that makes up the blue background on the front of your beret? I would suggest you cut that at an angle. So with the beret sitting on your head your beret will or should "hang down" and almost cover your right ear. That cardboard piece you should cut about 1/2 inch (or so) at an angle so that the beret will "hang down" naturally over your ear, and the top of the beret will fit or mold better to your head more naturally (especially after you totally wet it down and allowed it to dry.

Does this make sense? Can anyone out here describe what I am trying to say, with words, a wee bit better?

If I can find a picture I will include it

Hey, have fun at OBLC!!

Thanks for info. I will try to have recruiter help me with this process. The anxiety level for me is going up-- even more than my nurse practitioner boards!LOL

**sigh** I was an Air Force cop and I miss my beret. I think the Army looks really sharp in them! Yes, hopeful, PLEASE get your beret shaved and shaped correctly. Otherwise, you will look more than a bit ridiculous....I see kids here from the Security Forces Academy and some of their berets make me shudder. It's harder for women because we have hair, but just be sure it doesn't look like a big marshmallow.

Carolina-

I will still attempt to contact you while down in San Antonio. I'm sure you a very busy though:) As always thanks for all the help you have provided, even though you are Air Force I have learned LOTS from you!
