Hey so i was wondering if anyone knows where to get the AF Officers service dress coat for a good price the cheapest i find is on the exchange website for $179.00 but that's still pricey.

Like with many other things, it is possible to find them on ebay, in thrift stores, or the occasional airman's attic(Though this one largely depends on the officer presence on that base). Depending on how much you think you'll be wearing it, you may find it worth buying a new one for $179 if you're going to wear it fairly frequently, or maybe just foregoing the service coat if none of the above suggestions work for you.

That's about all I've got for ya, boss.

What size do you need and how fast?   I will be selling mine soon.

Not to mention that if you aren't an actual military officer, they won't allow you to buy it on the website.  When I was enlisted I tried buying all of my CAP officer stuff on the AAFES website and it wouldn't let me because I wasn't "authorized" it.  You will have to go to an actual clothing sales and go through the fiasco of explaining to them what CAP is and show them the regulation and all that fun stuff... Then, they might let you order / buy one.
