Do you find yourself going off post to
purchase uniform and clothing items? What are your reasons? I know
I find myself going off post to some of the local stores due to my local
clothing and sales store being closed on Mondays and most of the time they are
out of stock. Can we save Soldiers money by keeping these shops stocked?

That didn't work out very well. Here is what I meant to say:

WO1 Private RallyPoint Member some items are cheaper off post from what most know by just shopping around however, the taxes may bring up the prices. I will buy off post if I know I can save a substantial amount. Just for a few cents is not worth the ride and gas money. Our clothing and sales store is not open on Sundays and has limited hours on Saturdays.

I order my ribbon racks from EZ Rack Builder as I don't have the patience to sit down and do it myself. But I usually (90%+ of the time) get my uniform stuff at clothing sales.
