Options to get AGSU when stationed elsewhere?

Army folks (especially those not on Army/joint posts where the MCSS obviously has our uniforms) where have you found the new Pinks and Greens? I heard wait until I go back to a school yo buy them and not waste the additional money on Marlow White, but other than those two options, what have you all found that works? Full disclosure, I am on an Air Force post many hours away from a proper Army MCSS and I have been told that big Army will no longer allow non-Army or joint posts to carry the "dress" uniforms. We have all the accessories and OCP, but not a single piece of AGSU or ASU. I presume this is either due to the shift in uniform and the supplies, but the workers made it sound like a permanent decree. Your experiences?

You get what you pay for in life and Marlow White is worth it. Last I checked they had three levels of uniforms based on quality and if you plan on staying or beyond 20, spend the $$$.

Just go to the AF Clothing and Sales and ask if you can order the AGSU thru them. I mean, they are AAFES. Unless it was Clothing and Sales that told you.

You just go onto shopmyexchange and order it off the AAFES clothing and sales. Have fun getting an Army uniform tailored on an AF base though. You'll want to read the wear and fit guidelines ahead of time to tell the seamstresses exactly where the hems should reach on you, exactly how far down the shoulder your rank and patches should be, and how high above the cuff your bars should be.

I was at an AF base when the ASUs came out. I had to drive hours to an Army base to buy the uniform and then get them sewn at a local sew shop

It looks like you’re at MacDill AFB. I agree with others who say go to AAFES clothing sales and order what you need. Major joint service presence there. I’m surprised they don’t have Army uniform items. They used to have some items for all services way back in the 1990s.

I'd like to get a set, I just don't want to buy it and since the Guard is on the back end of supply for getting them... It's gonna be awhile.

There are a few ways to get the appropriate uniforms. A couple of folks have already identified a few. Go get them, I oils not advise waiting until you get to an Army installation being out of uniform.
