Basic Training Suggested Gear


Out-of-stock items will be backordered, and will be filled in the order they are received.

Please note: In-store pickup orders must be charged Texas state sales tax! If your shipping order is converted to an in-store pickup, your total will be adjusted to reflect sales tax. Please do not choose UPS shipping if you intend to have items picked up on campus. Due to recent changes with most airlines, Texas sales tax is often much cheaper than paying for an extra piece or two of luggage.
