They went out of style when the campaign got out of hand...

If your players really want military armor, I say let them roll for it.
Fail to roll 24? Oh, too bad... it isn't there... Try again in a month :)
In any half-way normal campaign I doubt you'd ever have a use for military
armor -- you can NOT wear it in the street, so how would you get it to
where you want to use it and still be able to put it on before you need
it? And all without raising eyebrows, without word getting out on the
street that you have this armor at home, and so on and so on.

IMHO it's more hassle than it's worth for any normal shadowrunner...
