My word, are you actually asking THAT question?
You receive them in O2 Clothing, right before Phase 2, but they'll stay cramped up inside your sea bag until you graduate as you won't wear them in boot camp.

If your west coast you will receive them in phase three. You will not wear them at all in RT unless your the guide at graduation.

I am new to this, so cut me some slack ok. I should be able to ask q's without getting grief from you people.
Us people? We're Marines buddy, you can ask whatever question you want, but most of us people think you should be concerned with stuff that matters, not what you wanna wear at home to show off that you've graduated.

You'll get the same treatment when you get to bootcamp and you won't get any slack. And as mentioned both in the rules and by another poster we are Marines and should be addressed as such.
Ewe People ?
Do we appear to be Female Sheep?

This Marine had to buy his "Blues".
Finished boot in 1954.
They cost me $200.00 but are worth any amount.
From what I'm told, we actually still pay for the Blues and other uniforms, but obviously the Marine Corps takes it directly out of our paychecks in the beginning of boot camp so you won't really notice it.
You'll learn fast not to get smart with some of the Marines on these forums. Some take it quite personal and will begin an all out attack on you. Just keep it chill, respect the Marines, and go earn that title young one. :)

I'll go a bit further and say we don't even get a first paycheck at boot camp.
I just checked my Feb 07 LES. The very first paycheck I got in the Marine Corps was for a whopping $9.39. (and that's counting BAH with and FSA)
They deducted $296.18 for uniforms (I didn't get issued blues), and $300.00 for the Smart Card.

I'd watch your tone there young man when speaking to Marines.
If you had used the search bar, you would've found the answer to your question before making another thread on this topic.

They're nicer now... they spread out all those costs over your first 3 months of paychecks! =/

Another great question from this kid. The answer is YES. If you would have used the search function you would not have asked this question. Again I say engage brain housing group. You will receive dress blues and tennis shoes.

You will be issued ALL your dress uniforms and uniform items aside from the 'Gold Buckle' for your blues, along with the new 'Running Suit.'

I have the utmost respect for every Marine on this forum, but honestly some of the Marines need to calm down just a tad. And maybe I prefer having people answering
MY question, not reading it from someone else who might have posted something similar. Like I said I have respect for every Marine, but some of the Marines on here seem to act like they are God and should be spoken to as God himself. Sorry, I'll do my best be more respectful of the sensitivities that go on around here, but try to be understanding and not get in a big hissy fit if something small happens to get said.

You don't come on a MARINE site and tell MARINES how they should act and what they should say.
As a poolee, you should learn to keep your mouth shut and just move on.
Again, watch your tone when speaking to MARINES!

You too WMarine, You are not god so stop acting like it, like just because you're a Marine that everyone should do whatever you say exactly how you say it. " watch my tone" ? this is a website...its not like we are in person. RELAX! it is better for your heart.

You don't like the answers that Marines are giving you, then don't respond back to them, plain and simple! No need to act like a tough guy and come off with a smart a$$ attitude towards Marines.
Do you ever think that why these silly questions do bother us Marines.....it's because they have been asked an answered many, many times before. Use the search bar!
Now, leave the smart a$$ attitude at the door. If you can't handle what's being said here, then boot camp is going to mighty tough for you with Drill Instructors getting in your face all the time! :evilgrin:

You don't understand the Marine way of thinking. You ask a dumbass question, you get a dumbass responce. Your the outsider, you get treated as the outsider, until you earn the right. You will get shown the same respect that you show a Marine. You cop and attitude, and your world will be lit up.
I can't wait for you to go to boot camp. I'd like to see you try " Is there a reason for all this yelling, Sir? ":thumbup:
Just take it for what it is, and apologize. Something else to learn. We are never wrong either.
