[QUOTE="Yellow98SVT, post: 1146717, member: 10702"] I was under the impression that the Marine Corps provided dress blues for enlisted men at no charge. Officers go thru OCS and save up their money to buy all the dress uniforms required....unless that has been changed in the last 10 years...that was the case. I think it is very commendable you want to join the Marine Corps...my father was a 35 year rotorcraft pilot...retired full Colonel. I have nothing but the utmost respect for Marines and what and how well they do it. I will say this from personal experience and second hand accounts from friends. If you believe ANYTHING a military recruiter tells you at face value you'll be in for surprises. I have seen an Officer recruiter(Captain) bold face lie to my face and then change their stories...as my father, the Colonel asked him. A recruiters success depends on him getting the most recruits he possible can. He is a salesman...he is selling the Marine Corps and the fact is this....the instant you sign your name to a contract...nothing he EVER said matters. You will have no recourse. Give a thought to the look on a Drill Sgt's face as you inform him..."the recruiter told me this or that." You will never have seen such a "I don't give a shit" look till the day you die. Once again, much Props for your decision...but, find a guy that's on active duty or someone who was recently and cross check everything you hear from a recruiter with someone who would know. [/QUOTE]
