As in your PT shorts? Weird and uncomfortable...

Yes, in boot you all wear the navy PT shorts under your uniforms the whole time and yes, you are issued a scarf and both thin and thick gloves in uniform issue (you don't pay for those), but the earmuffs, if your RDC has you get them (either everyone will or everyone won't) you have to buy at the NEX for like $3 a pair (its kinda worth it to get 2, they always seem to break when you stow them in your A&B Drawer for some reason)

Thats stupid. I hope mine doesnt if i got in winter. I hate storing extra shit in my a&b drawer. The more stuff i have to put on, the more i have to get inspected, the more it sucks. (My opinion lol)

& Yeah PT gear under your clothes. you dont notice after awhile. It just sucks when going to the head.

I was told that the uniform allowance is in your first check so you technically pay for it but, the allowance covers it. IS that accurate?

I could be wrong but I think the uniform allowance is the money you get to help pay for cleaning it when you need to. I read it somewhere but don't remember where anymore.

Your initial uniform allowance is for the uniforms they issue you in boot camp. You will receive the allowance in boot camp then they'll take it all back because they issued you the uniforms. Your yearly allowance after that is to replace uniforms items needed. You will only get a percentage of the allowance until your 3rd or 4th year in the Navy.
