The Commissioning Registry
Help a new Officer
gear up for service.
Like a wedding or baby registry — but for the $5,000+ in uniforms a newly commissioned Army Officer is expected to buy themselves. Cadets build a list, loved ones pitch in.
The Problem
Since the Revolution, Officers have been expected to pay for their own uniforms, while Enlisted soldiers have theirs provided. That made sense when Officers were wealthy aristocrats.
Today, most Officers are average citizens who worked hard to get ahead — and the cost of uniforms adds up fast.
Required uniform pieces (ASU + ACU)
$5,000+
…and that's just a portion of what a new Lieutenant must buy.
The Solution
Build the registry
A commissioning Cadet picks their Arm of Service and adds every required and recommended piece of gear.
Share the link
Each Cadet gets a unique link to send to family, friends, and mentors.
Loved ones give
Supporters buy items on the Cadet's behalf. Class II takes a small 2.5% cut and handles fulfillment.
Every Arm of Service
The registry adapts to the Cadet's branch — branch insignia, cord colors, and specialized gear all change with the Arm of Service.

Some Cadets want the basics; others want to upgrade. Class II lets you compare options side by side.
General Issue
Bought in bulk by the Army from contractors. Affordable and compliant — though GI boots are famous for blisters.
Ops Issue
Issued in Special Operations units. Higher quality, more durable, and more expensive.
Third-Party
Not Army-issued, but approved for purchase under AR 670-1 — premium comfort and performance.
