I'm just wondering what is given to you and what comes out of your first paycheck. I have also heard that you are given a list of items to purchase and sent to a shop on base? However that may have been for a different branch. Thanks!
 
You receive all your clothing/uniforms and boots, shoes, belts, etc etc.

You have to buy all your toiletries and various other things.

You will also be forced to buy things that the platoon needs or may need.

Your initial clothing issue is taken out of your paycheck. And the other stuff is paid for using a debit card unless they have changed this recently.
 
you just need to buy personal hygine stuff and any extra uniform gear you might want. Everything you NEED (besides personal stuff) will be provided.
 
my son-in-law just finished 5 yrs in the Army. his surprise came
on his first deployment, there was all kinds of stuff he had to pay
for that added up quick. on his 2nd his was prepared financially.
there's got to be some marines out there that can better answer
your question.
