| Stopped in to the local Goodwill store to check for Halloween decorations when I noticed six pair of ACU pants on a rack. I grabbed a pair up, and on the way up front to check the price I found the jackets to match. Bought two sets-- Jacket $4ea and pants $3ea. The other four sets were gone in about fifteen minutes. Got so dang excited I forgot to pick up some decorations!
Not crazy about ACU for my area, but I couldn't pass this deal up. Any other thrift store goldmine finds out there? | |

| Oooh man I'm envious. My one set of ACU cost me almost $50. I haven't found any deals that good recently, not that I haven't been looking. | |

| Not thrift store... But....
American Apparel Arid MARPAT trousers: $32.99
^these are the real thing, the military pays a whopping $120 for the trousers alone!
A friend got a whole PMC outerwear at a goodwill for like $30... Which is pretty good...

Do they have the EGA on them? The trousers should have at least two EGAs somewhere on them. There's usually one on the left thigh and the the ass. | |

| What the "Watch your language" is this? You don't know what the Holy EGA is?! Get on your "Watch your language" face, you twinkle-toed communist cakesucker! One push up for the Commandant, one for the Corps, and one for Chesty! (I didn't say cake)
Nah, just messing with you!
The EGA is the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor | |

| Yeah EGA's and correct SSN with military tag on the inside. This is how I realized they were AAP...
Really comfortable and they have the elastic waist band!

| My cammies are extremely comfortable, haha. And the boots are the most comfortable footwear I have ever worn in my life! No joke!  | |
