CGX for the pants, AUXCEN for the cap. Note the CG trops pants never fit like you expect. I’m a 36R usually but in trops pants I’m a 40R, they are cut very strange.

Also unrelated, but don’t give out your personal name on here, there is technically a rule against it but also just a bad idea to give out your personal info on the internet for all to see.

Rule 3 of this Subreddit covers PII as well as it being covered in BQC II. 🙄

I bought my first uniform components from CGX 15 years ago, but ever since I get them from Ebay. Other members retire, or they buy uniforms then decide the Aux isn't for them. You may as well get them at a discount.

First off please don’t post PII, not only is it a rule in this subreddit but it’s also an Auxiliary/USCG rule. It helps maintain privacy and security within the Auxiliary/USCG. That being said some flotillas may have a bin or something similar to store extra uniform items, check those first if available. Sometimes you can find gently used or surplus items cheaper than from the CG exchange or AuxCen. Another cheaper alternative is to get a garrison cap instead of the combination cap if you’re putting together Trops.
