WASHINGTON (Army News Service, Jan. 5, 1999) - Always
free to U.S. service members, the new military clothing catalogs
from the Army and Air Force Exchange Service are now available
worldwide instantly via the Internet at www.aafes.com.
The Internet catalog version is designed to provide shopping
convenience to active duty and reserve service members who live
miles from military clothing stores.
Just as in the store, soldiers or airmen purchase clothing record
items at the same price AAFES pays the supplier. Additionally,
both the Air Force and Army military clothing catalogs have a
variety of optional uniform items and accessories from which to
choose.
Though identical in product selection, the electronic catalogs do
not replace the paper versions, still available in clothing sales
stores and stateside through request by calling 1-888-768-3204.
Featured in each service's catalog are the latest dress, service,
physical training and battle dress uniforms, as well as boots, shoes,
shirts and insignia.
Additional merchandise available to authorized customers includes
luggage, shaving kits, watches, commemorative clocks and award
cases, pilot sunglasses, knives, utility tools, and binoculars.
Listed catalog prices include delivery by parcel post. No handling
fees are charged. Delivery via priority mail can be requested at
additional expense.
Online purchases require a major credit card or Deferred Payment
Plan account. Catalog orders processed by phone or mail can be
paid for by check.
