A young Marine has passed away and his dress blue jacket no longer fits. The family is DESPERATELY looking to borrow one for the funeral. Need size 46. TIA

Maybe check with the military property warehouse on campus?

Or maybe the Navy/Marine recruiter in town might be able to point you in the right direction?

Great ideas- tried them but no luck.

MPW won't have it so don't waste your time. Try the Army Navy Surplus over on Eastgate if it is still there. Otherwise might call the recruiting station at the Mall for advice.

I cross posted this on military, premium, and Aggies Only. If I hear something, I know how to get in touch with you.

I believe we found one. Thanks for the help!

The CACO (casualty assistance calls officer) should be handling this. Was this an active duty Marine or a drilling reservist? In either case the HQMC Casaulty Brnach should be able to offer some expedited assistance. There seems to have been a disconnect somewhere because getting a uniform for a funeral is not something the family should have to do. Send me an PM or call the number listed below.
