Hey, Espi, look up the acronym "PERSEC" and consider whether you want your wife to wear an advertisement in public that you are away for an extended period at the SFQC.
The undergarments would be fine, but as an outer garment, I would rethink the concept. Look in the upper right hand corner of the page at the word that precedes "Professionals". Nothing wrong with being proud of what we do, or what you are trying to do. You just have to approach it from the proper perspective.
Just my .02, I think some of the designs are very nice and WM is working hard for the cause.

It's the tongue in cheek implications of the cami that make me like it.
If you come home from a tough training ruck and momma's waiting wearing that...
it's gotta make you think "I need to walk a few more miles...what happens when I get home?!" 
TR brings up a good point about wearing it in public though.
Still, better this [not mine]:

...than this. [also, not mine]...

I'm sorry but the "Don't Mess With The Team Sergeant" shirt looks good til you see that hippy kid wearing it at the bottom of the page. I know it doesn't have the logo, but it still just ruins it for me.

Just wanted to add that I saw this book on the shelf at my local clothing sales for those that don't have a way to buy it online. Not sure if the proceeds are affected, but if you are in a pinch I'd look there.

Get Selected
I purchased "Get Selected" for my son. He is planning on joining under what I believe is called the 18X contract. I handed it to him about two hours ago and, he has not come of his room to eat, watch TV or anything else in the last two hours. That alone speaks volumes to me. Thanks WM!

Great Book
Came to Savannah, GA in TDY status and went to Hunter Military Clothing, came across the book and didn't hesitate to spend the cash, I read the whole book and going over again in case I miss something, going back home today, starting on my training plan. Since there isn't anything pertaining about age limit to join SF , i'm not going to worry about it. Great job Maj.

Well, you might want to do some research here, because there is. There are also good reasons why there is an age limit, which have also been discussed.
Good luck.

I wake up every morning amped to do PT till I vomit, so i can get right for SFAS. You guys are my hero's and I cant wait to get back to bragg so i can show em what I got.

Get Selected is an awesome book. I think if the Aus Army did something similar for the SFDRS applicants it would help them a lot ( I know I would have liked to have something like get selected to help get me ready).
For anyone out there who wants an even harder training program (fitness wise) try the SASR 13 week training program. Its designed for people going for the Cadre course (where the SFAS got some of its nasty exersizes). Mind you, you will lose a lot of fitness when you go through basic etc. but at least you know you can do it, thus you will be able to replicate in the future.
For anyone going for the SFAS here are some tips from the SASR cadre course (I don't know this from personal experience I just ask a lot of questions of SF members that I know):
1. be able to pack march long distances (at a consistent pace) and be able to maintain composure at the end i.e. its no good if you just fall in a heap, because on ops that could never happen
2. get used to the idea of sickners i.e. you will finish something that is totally exhausting, thinking thats it for the day, and then be asked to do something more like a 5km time trial, or be told to go back to where you have come from (which might be 40kms away)
3. Develop an uncomplaining attitude i.e. if things aren't going your way, don't get pissed off or whinge about it (that will get you a cross against your name), just take a step back for a sec and think "ok, how can i make the best of this", or "oh well I just have to battle through this"
Anyway, maybe this helps, maybe it doesn't.
