After transferring from the Marines to the Army Reserves, will I get my uniforms in the Reserve unit or do I have to buy everything myself?

Prior service Marine and I recently switched branches and MOS so I have to go to AIT. My question is, do I get issued uniforms before going to AIT in my reserve unit?

Supply Sgt will be the one issuing you your uniforms. When I switched over I was issued everything that was needed.

They have already said it, you will get issued, it may take some time, it is done electronically and shipped to your unit.

It took my former unit 10 friggin months to get me my uniforms and about 1 year to schedule me an AIT date.

You should be issued the uniforms.

You're supposed to get them. That said, if supply isn't very high-speed, you'll be waiting a long, long time. Unlike you, I went from active Army to the Reserves, so my duty uniform never changed, but as soon as I got to my Reserve unit, supply supposedly put in for the new dress blues. Despite numerous follow-ups, when I got out 5 years later, I was still waiting for them.

When I left marines and went into airforce I didn't get any uniforms I had to buy everything.

When I switched from the Marines to the Army it took them two months to give me my uniforms. In all reality it depends on where you go to ait
