What I hate about the Guide is how long this are on backorder for. Example...

I ordered a jacket online in November. I was told it was on backorder until early January. I figured I'd wait on it.

Mid-January rolls around and I call to see what's up. Jacket now on backorder until mid-March. I decide I can wait a little longer.

In February the same jacket shows up online as "in stock." I call to check on my order, but they say it is still on back order until March.

I call in early March to see if my jacket will be in soon (especially since it was in the recent Government Surplus catalog). I was then told backordered until mid-June! SCREW THAT!!!

Everytime I saw the jacket in the catalog, or online it was the same jacket and listed that the size I ordered was available.

Hey Gary, please don't list items for sale in your catalogs or online if they are not available, or you have yet to get the merchandise to the back-ordered folks!
