After the class room and filling out paperwork, a haircut, the phone call home telling mom & dad you are alright you filter into a room that has tables separated by dividers in the center of the room and on the wall of the room. There is not enough for the entire platoon, so the remainder are awaiting you all to finish your inventory of the items. A female in utilities gets up on the top of the center table where there is a little walk way. She indicates that she is in charge of seeing that you recruits don't mess this up and get all of the junk you are about to sign for. She starts tossing stuff to each recruit in order. A shaving kit containing a razor, some extra blades, bar soap, shaving cream, anti-fungal powder, 5 pairs of wool socks, 5 pair of sock liners, 5 pairs of underdrawers, recruit knowledge books, green t shirts, utility pants, tops, and a belt along with the extra gear you need to start recruit training. After that is passed out she leaves and the Drill Instructor comes in telling you all to put on 1 set of uniform and indicates how to wear it.
For this next step of your initial in-processing we are going to cover with you is the initial issue of equipment.
If you have the gold, go and buy the items on the following list. Fitted Olive Tshirt - 700
Anti-Terror Forest or Desert camo pants - 3200
Anti-Terror Steel Toe Boots - 2100
Black GPD Protective Vest - 3300
Total - 9300 Gold
They may be obtained from
H.R. Wesley.
Make a post (while wearing the gear) saying, "Sir, I have my initial issue." A reply post will be made by adminstrative personel affirming your statement.
If you can not afford to get all of the items, we will help you out but certain conditions will be met. (Note** Because of the cost of the initial issue we are not giving it away free as even in the USMC you pay for your own gear.. it comes out of your first few paychecks. Someone else had to pay for it so here is how this will work.)
