Uniforms issued at RTC

[squarri]

From the videos, I've seen recruits issued their NWUs, PT gear, coveralls, and service blues all while at boot. Are your service uniforms also issued at RTC? Also I am shipping during the spring so there will be no need for peacoats and other cold weather gear, do we still purchase all that stuff there or wait until some point further down the line?

Yes, they'll be issued, you just don't wear them there.

I wonder, also, if we will be getting the new uniforms that are rolling out this year, I think I read somewhere that the RTC is one of the first places to get new uniforms.. That would be helpful.

They were testing new PT gear at RTC last year (I think), that got vetoed.

It looks like the new coveralls will be provided by your ship.

Even in spring and summer, you should still be issued the peacoat, all-weather coat, and NWU parka w/liner... you'll just never wear them. You may be getting the new all-weather coat... I'm not sure if that's being issued yet.

That's classified as organizational clothing right now and is obtained through your command's supply... similar to flight gear and Type III NWU's. You'll get it when you get to your ship.
