I purchased mine since it is required for UPT as well anyway. Guy at my squadron was in the first 8 week course and said they give you plenty of time to take care of the Mess Dress whether you decide to rent/buy (caution: they overcharge on alteration prices).

Have a great week everyone and I'll see those that are in Class 15-01 this weekend!

I called the AMS help-desk and inquired about coats and whether they were required to have for inspection purposes due to our class 15-01 running into October. The answer i received went something along the lines of, "you'll find out when you get here." So with that being said, I'm bringing my coats and tossing them in my car if they're not required. If any of you are flying in and don't have a car with you feel free to use mine as a storage closet as well. t-minus 1 month!

From what I have seen, a year from selection is typical for a class start date. I was selected Oct '13 and am heading to class 15-01. The timeline is due to FC1, TS/SCI investigation, Your unit, NGB. A lot of work goes through before your date is issued... For what it's worth.

Copy all. Thanks for the info everyone. I was planning on purchasing it. I was just wondering if it was required to bring.

Either of you hear anything regarding mess dress for our class?

Class 15-01 here.
