What some individuals fail to realize is the fact that they also have to pay for their uniform, down to the very button or decorative ribbon that comes attached. Others may think it is just given to the solider but infact it comes out of their stipend. These uniforms are very detailed and as such very expensive as well.
An average uniform can rage from a couple of hundred dollars nearing into the thousand dollar range. Yes now I'm sure that caught your attention. Every detail must be accounted and paid for. Even the medals that the soldier or Marine might earn during battle or during training needs to be paid for by themselves as well. The total pricing can be quite astronomically after calculating the amount they actually receive per hour. Ofcourse you must have more then one uniform and there are different types of uniforms you are required to wear. You must pay for the each designated uniform that you are assigned.
These allowances are given to spend soley on uniforms and understand that at minimum there are three uniforms that must be purchased. There is no wonder why upon graduation from boot camp it is recommended to have the uniforms properly kept and safe guarded.
They also allot different cash allowances for replacement uniforms just in the happenstance that a uniform is damaged or badly ruined and becomes inappropriate to wear. As well as an allowance to help properly maintain your uniforms. Uniforms are a vital element in being a Marineor soldier. Each different department of the Armed forces has a different uniform and the costs vary.
