I need three pairs of Marine woodland digital BDU's. X-Small waist short length, small - regular, and a regular - regular. I haven't been able to find any websites that sell x-small - short. And would like to avoid ebay.

TIA

Local ARMY/NAVY strores? AKA surplus stores?

You would be suprised what you can find there and sizes.

I was diging threw a box at one that said "used" and the price was dirt cheap because they all looked REALLY old. At the bottom I found a pair of woodland BDU's that looked brand new. Asked the guy about them and he sold them to me at the price on the box. I think I paid $15 for the pants and blouse.

Might also try calling those online plases, just because its not listed does not mean they can't get them. Its like Summit, they have like 10 times the inventory that you see in the magazine.

I went to my local surplus store and sadly the smallest they have is small - regular.

Brad, nah its for ROTC. The ABU's aren't out yet...actually aren't even done being tested last I looked, so we need something to differentiate ourselves (think OPFOR)

ABU, WTF is that?? Thye new Army ACU has been out for a while, although guard/reserve units did not start to issue them until last October and most reserve units still have not issued them.

Stoleit, as far as I know the Marines dont make XS cammies, the smallest we have is small-short

they have pull sting 's in them to get them tighter. I have acu's that are my size but i still need to use the pull string in them.

The AF's replacement to the BDU... http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...le_Uniform.jpg

Supposed to get ours 6 weeks before we deploy in May, so shouldn't be too far off from now Can't wait honestly... be glad to just wear those after I get bakc and never bother with pressed uniforms anymore... and no more boot polish...

Wah? Really? I hadn't heard they went into production yet. Atleast it isn't as bad as the other blue crap they tried to pass off as a BDU.

And I hope they turn out better than the AF's new PT uniform...I feel like I am in a 70's porno when I put on those shorts...

the_hunted

those look better than our ACU's. As for the placement of the rank.

Yeah they're making them. They're authorized wear as of like Sept. this year, except AEF 8 deployers are getting them before we go. They're issuing them to people at BMT starting in September so they better be in production Can't wait to get mine honestly

As far as the rank goes on the officers will have their rank there, enlisted will still have our rank on our sleeves. Doesn't look bad though

I do really like the system the AF has for officer vs enlisted ranks. Makes it soo much easier. I hate going to Army posts and I actually have to pay attention.

Yeah we definitely stand out from the officers. The last thing that could make you wonder if you were indoors were shoulder boards on blues shirts for senior NCO's, but they did away with those.

the new AF uniform is the worst one yet we should just keep the ones we have

X2 on the porno PT shorts... I bought some XXL shorts and they're real nut-huggers. Outside the gate at Osan AB here in Korea this place called Mikes All-Season sports makes extra-long PT shorts. The reflective stuff on them doesn't last very long if you put them in the dryer, but at least they're the right length. About the Marine cammies, I cant find where you can buy theme anywhere. I'll do some more searching later, I gotta go to work.

Are you serious? You would have rather have that god awful deep blue garbage they initially released? Personally I'm tired of either ironing or having my uniforms pressed so some brass thinks aircraft maintainers should look like desk jockeys, I'll gladly take the wash and wear uniforms we're getting. Might as well try to look slightly up to date instead of the ancient BDU's we wear. Granted they're definitely time tested, but we'll have to see how reliable the new ones are.

These things are so disproportioned it's stupid. I have large shorts and large shirts. The shirts are dresses on me and the shorts are definitely 1970's basketball shorts. My shop chief told me he cut the lining out of his PT shorts and they fit better but I'm going to go buy some of the XXL shorts soon I think. I'm all of 5'10 and 185 and I shouldn't HAVE to buy XXL shorts

If I was still in San Diego I could have got you a hook up price on Marine digitals. MCRD sells the uniforms from recruits that don't make the cut. Great, cheap way to get your uniform together.
