ACOA Merchandise Store - PHS Pride Items Available

Uniform Store

The ACOA Uniform Store is a service offered by the ACOA to provide the opportunity for USPHS officers to obtain uniform and rank items at reduced rates. Proceeds from the uniform sales are used to support ACOA activities, including the annual Anchor and Caduceus dinner, the annual promotion ceremony, and community service activities. Please view the ACOA uniform store inventory list to see our available items. If you have uniform items that you no longer need, please consider donating to the ACOA Uniform Store.

Don’t forget the ACOA Uniform Store swaps rank devices!  If you have uniforms to donate, wish to purchase uniform components (at very reduced rates), or if you would like to swap gently used rank devices, contact CDR Craig Hales(404.639.6217) or LT Candis Hunter (770.488.1347).

View our full listing of men's [PDF] or women's [PDF] uniform store inventory.
