Will I need to get uniforms and boots prior to DCC?

I was given a packing list, however, my recruiter hasn’t been in office and the closest post exchange is pretty far. I’m going active duty and have been getting mixed answers. I wouldn’t want to get the incorrect uniform, and was told they would be issued during DCC, but some say the sizing may or may not be available? Will I also be issued name tape?

You’ll be wearing OCP combat uniforms daily. I can’t see you being issued more than 4 sets. If it is a stipend situation, you’ll be making trade offs. As and Blues are pricey. I’d get yourself 4 sets. Order the name tapes and US Army tapes so they match. Leave two sets Velcro. Get the rest sewn on. Get a nice set of boots, like Danner TFX for walking and standing...a lot.

Ma'am, everything I am finding states you will get issued uniforms when you get to your course. That being said, since your recruiter is not in the office, I recommend you try emailing them as they are probably working remotely. Also, if you have a point of contact email/number for the course, I recommend you reach out to the school to see what they say.

Has it changed for officers? It used to be officers were not issued any uniforms, given a small stipend, and off to Clothing and Sales you went.

MAJ Byron Oyler - I've known some Officers that were issued uniforms then the cost of those uniforms was deducted from their pay.

Unless it has changed, you will not get issued any uniform items, will be provided a stipend at some point, and off to Clothing and Sales. There really should be a day set up in the DCC to help you with this.
