I’d have to buy 38 long pants just so my thighs could fit and then have the waist and pant legs cut way back. I always felt I looked somewhat stupid but at the same time could really afford to have custom daily uniforms made.

I had similar issues with uniforms,my waist/quad ratio was always skewed so I had to get the waist to fit,then wear a belt and just looked down right ridiculous. Was not able to have them altered either.

And thank you for your service
