BDU Components Available Locally
ACOA has learned that the Military Clothing shop at Fort
McPherson still has a number of BDU items and black combat boots
available in stock for officers interested in purchasing uniforms
locally and having the opportunity to try them on first. The
available sizes are mostly at the small end of the spectrum
with a few larger sizes (see
enclosed chart of available uniforms) but for anyone who might
be able to make use of them they are available for purchase.
Officers are reminded that the BDU cover used by the Army is not the
same as the one used by the PHS and must still be purchased from a
Navy source.
Note: PHS flags are currently out of stock. Please do not place
orders until further notice. If you are interested in purchasing flags
please send your information to ACOA so we may contact you when we reorder flags.
Own your very own PHS flag and show your Corps pride!
The PHS Flag, seen above flying on the gulf coast during the Katrina response
and in close-up, is
a high quality material 3 X 5 foot nylon flag with the USPHS seal printed on a
separate piece of material that is then stitched onto both sides so that the
seal appears correct from both sides of the flag. It has metal grommets for
flying on a wall mounted or free standing flagpole which make them appropriate
for proud outdoor display at your home. They are equally at home on your office
wall and they also make a great addition to carry with you on deployment!
Cost of the flags is $55 plus $5 shipping for a total cost of $60. For more
flags you will need to contact
LCDR Paula Peters (770.488.3915) to determine shipping costs
although for an order of two or even three flags the shipping cost is likely to
be about the same.
Please note: This item is for personal use and not intended to replace
official USPHS flags as noted in Subchapter CC29.9 of the Commissioned Corps
Personnel Manual.
Desk Top Flag Sets
 In addition we now have desk top flag sets available for the first time that
will include a 4"x 6" US flag and a 4"x 6" PHS flag in a synthetic silk material on a
black plastic staff with a golden tip and a black base that will hold both flags.
These flags would make excellent additions to your office or home and would make
a great gift for a fellow officer or civil servant. The PHS flag is not readily
available in any size making this desk set unique!
Desk sets are pictured at right with 2 flags at an angle to each
side, the US flag and the PHS flag. Cost of the two-flag desk set is only $17 and
if you order a flag and a desk set together the shipping cost is still only $5.
There will be no additional shipping charge! Shipping charge for the desk top
flag sets alone is also $5 and it is likely that several can be sent for the
same shipping cost should you wish to order more than one. Please contact
LCDR Paula Peters (770.488.3915) if you wish to purchase more than one of either item to determine total
shipping cost.
You may pay for the flags and desk sets by check. Please make the check payable
to "ACOA". They can all be paid for with one check. Please send your check
to the following address:
LCDR Paula Peters
4770 Buford Hwy, NE

Please contact
