For busy service members, acquiring military uniforms just got significantly easier. The Army and Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) has enhanced its online store with a “Uniform Ready-to-Wear” section, designed to streamline the uniform purchasing process. This virtual storefront at onlineuniforms.net allows Soldiers and Airmen to order complete uniforms with just a few clicks, delivering them directly to their doorsteps, ready to wear straight out of the box.
This innovative AAFES service simplifies uniform acquisition by offering pre-assembled Army Combat Uniforms (ACUs) and Battle Dress Uniforms (BDUs). Beyond the basic uniform sets, the site also provides options to add essential items such as military boots, belts, t-shirts, and socks, creating a comprehensive one-stop shop for military personnel. Understanding the need for immediate wearability, AAFES also offers a convenient alteration service for BDUs. For a nominal fee, a local contractor will expertly attach all necessary nametapes, ranks, insignia, badges, and patches before the uniform is shipped. This ensures that upon arrival, the BDU is virtually ready for duty, pending only the addition of the local command patch.
According to Maj. Brian Schooley, the Army and Air Force Exchange Service Air Force military clothing program manager, this service provides unparalleled convenience. “This is the most convenient way for an Airman or officer to purchase a set of BDUs,” he stated. “The uniform is delivered directly to the mailbox and once the local command patch is attached the uniform is ready to wear.”
Maj. Lula Hart-Evans, AAFES Army military clothing program manager, also highlighted the accessibility benefit, especially for those in remote locations. “This is a great opportunity for active and Reserve Soldiers in remote locations to purchase their ACUs,” she noted. “Assembling a complete uniform is now as simple as using a pull down menu.”
To experience this streamlined uniform shopping, service members can visit www.aafes.com. From the homepage, navigating to the “Military Uniforms Ready-to-Wear” section under the “Shop by Department” menu will allow them to begin customizing and ordering their Aafes Military Uniforms today.
