So I have a Daddy/Daughter dance coming up this Friday and needed to get the service stripes changed on my Mess Dress. So the stripes themselves cost $38. Then I walk across the hall to the sew shop and they charge me $55 to sew these bad boys on. Unbelievable.
They teach or at least taught us to shine our boots. It would have been a better investment to teach us to sew our own stuff on our uniforms!
Again thats a total of 91 freakin dollars! For service stripes! (excuse my english)

Who says you have to have them sewn there? They are charging more because it's convenient. You can always find some place that is cheaper..... For me, though, I'd rather pay the money and know that it will be done right the first time, rather than me trying to do it and maybe it is correct the first time.....

Basic Training is intended to teach you to be a Soldier, not a seamstress. There are other schools you can go to if that's your desired profession of choice.
