you see that difference between “initial” and “cash payment portion”? they’re paying you and then deducting for everything issued at boot camp.

Napoleon famously said a man will fight long and hard for a bit of colored ribbon.

u get like 200 dollars a year to buy "uniform" stuff but of course its one lump payment on a certain date so if you need something randomly during the year you're SOL, usually the clothing allowance is spent on booze and stuff instead because of this
