Until now, Army Guard and Reserve personnel could only buy uniforms <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/pay-benefits\/military-benefits\/2018\/05\/01\/benefits-basics-commissaries-and-exchanges\/\" target=_blank>at brick-and-mortar military clothing stores<\/a>, and there are restrictions on who can buy them and when.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army is in transition to the OCP uniform, with all soldiers required to have them by October 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under Army regulation and the direction of the Army Clothing Services Office, only Guard and Reserve officers, or enlisted on active duty under Title 10 or Title 32 orders can buy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2018\/03\/29\/pinks-and-greens-uniform-gets-nod-from-the-chief-of-staff-armys-top-enlisted-soldier-looking-at-costs\/\" target=\"_blank\">uniforms<\/a> in stores. And since the exchange online store\u2019s system currently can\u2019t identify a shopper\u2019s rank or active-duty status, the online store didn\u2019t sell uniforms to Guard and Reserve members, in order to comply with the regulation, said AAFES spokesman Conner Hammett.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That restriction is still in place for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/pay-benefits\/2018\/06\/22\/heres-why-dod-wants-to-make-millions-more-eligible-to-shop-commissaries-exchanges\/\" target=_blank>AAFES <\/a>brick-and-mortar clothing stores. Enlisted Guard and Reserve members should show their orders verifying their status to purchase uniforms in stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But with this temporary exception, all Army Guard and Reserve members can buy uniforms at <a href=\"https:\/\/shopmyexchange.com\/\" target=_blank>ShopMyExchange.com<\/a>, regardless of rank or active-duty status. The exception allows AAFES \u201cto bring the convenience of online uniform shopping to these service members as it works with the [Army Clothing Services Office] to identify a more permanent solution that complies with all Army uniform regulations,&#8221; Hammett said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The online exchange site automatically determines what military clothing items a service member is authorized to buy, based on branch of service, but beyond that, it can\u2019t identify rank or active-duty status, Hammett said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airforcetimes.com\/news\/your-air-force\/2018\/05\/14\/the-long-awaited-ocp-uniform-is-on-its-way-to-the-air-force-and-heres-when-you-could-get-it\/\" target=\"_blank\">Air Force is adopting the Army\u2019s OCP uniform<\/a>, and ShopMyExchange.com will start selling the uniform online to Air Force personnel \u2013 including Air Guard and Reserve \u2013 in October 2019, by Air Force regulation, Hammett said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few AAFES brick-and-mortar stores on Air Force bases will start selling the OCPs starting this October, and the sales will gradually roll out to other stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Army Guard and Reserve: It just got easier to buy your new
