Ok so the Marine Birthday Ball is on November 10th, and my husband still doesn't have his blues, we tried ordering them off of AAFES, but they don't have his size in stock. Does anyone know of any other website where we can order them online? We've gotta order them really soon if we want to get them here and ready for the ball. AAFES has a link to the navy exchange which has all the USMC uniforms where you can order them ready to wear, with exact sizes, and with the anodized buttons already on, and the cover already assembled, so if anyone knows of a site where we could order them like that would be terriffic! Please help! :) Thanks!

Well, he's only a PFC, so its not like he's been enlisted for a really long time, and they aren't manditory, so he just hadn't gotten them yet. I asked him to get them at boot, but he didn't want to. So now we're in a rut. And to the first answer... why on earth would you think that this question is spam? Maybe you shouldn't answer. Anyway, when i said AAFES i didn't really mean that, they have a link to the NEX, which don't have his size. So i have no idea where to go from here. We're in Tucson, Az. He's in the reserves, so he's stationed at an airforce base which has NOTHING USMC related it seems like. Thanks for the help.

AAFES will take forever. Expensive to. Try a surplus store, then have it tailored with the proper rank. If all else fails, he can wear his Alpha's.
To help ensure Blues though, make sure he has all the bell's and whistles. Belt Buckle, belt, metals/ribbons...Be prepared so the coat is the only thing you are waiting for.

Base PX and the base supply (have to keep them in stock for the band) is the only two places I know you can get dress Blues.
You might can luck out and find a store off base that has Dress Blues. Some stores near the base might carry them.
Another place you might try calling is the Embassy Marine School (Sea Going Bell Hop School) in Quantico, Va. If any PX will have a good supply of Dress Blues they should.
You might also try ebay or amazon.com if you don't mind a used set of Dress Blues. ,

try the Base Thrift Shop. Seriously. My Husband got both jackets and the pants for his Mess Dress for under $100. Cost him more to dry clean and have the right rank sewn on that it did to buy all three pieces!
and BTW.. you can use the NEX site too.

Check the Pawn shops off base.

I guess your husband is just going to have to buy them in the wrong size(preferably bigger), have them altered, and put all that stuff on himself. How long has he been in, shouldn't he already have a set?

Why don't you just order them from the NEX website then?

Tell him to do more exercises or cut down on his meal portion or he could go and get a new uniform
