    WHY?

    do NOT go to basic in it. they may rip it right off you. anything you need will be issued to you.

    are you graduating this year with a diploma as a junior?

    Yeah - go online and order one from any number of surplus retailers or gear shops. A set, including hat, boots, belt, and t-shirt will set you back about 175 bucks in total.

    Then - when you get your uniform, you will look like a total douche for wearing a uniform that you are not authorized yet and have spent big money on that you will be issued for free.

    DO NOT DO IT. When you are supposed to get them, the Army will issue them to you. You will be ridiculed to no end if you show up to basic wearing a uniform you are not yet authorized, and you will probably be wearing it incorrectly anyway.

    Don't be that guy.

    Sounds like you are going to go around and tell all, look at me, I am in the Army!

    Yet, you have not completed initial training!

    Only dildos wear uniforms that they are not authorized. You will be good for a laugh.
