I’m prior service, I was active duty for 4 years 8 months and I have been out for 2.5 years. I’m going active duty again and going from meps to ait next month, do I get issued new uniforms or will I have to pay out of pocket for them? I didn’t exactly keep anything when I went irr

I believe, but may be mistaken that you only get issued new uniforms if the break in service was 4 or more years OR the uniforms you ETSed with are no longer an operational pattern

I got out in 2018 when ocp just became mandatory, I only bought one uniform because I was etsing. I’m just trying to gather some useful information so I don’t end up at Ait in civilians and have to scramble for uniforms and clothing.

They will issue you new uniforms. I was out of service 10 days short of 4 years and when I went back in they counted my 2 years inactive reserve time towards my pay. So when I reentered as an E4 with previous pay of 4 years to an E4 with 6 years.

That’s what my recruiter told me was going to happen with my pay, I’ll be an E4 with 6 years of service. But he’s not sure about the whole uniform thing.

Yes, I got out with ACU's and was issued a new pair of OCPS when going to AIT, while a prior service with like a 1.5 as a veteran came back without any uniforms at all and were issued OCPS, Clothing, and Sales will give you issues though

MEPS should give you a memo authorizing any initial issue to be drawn from the local clothing and sales.

Definitely paid out of pocket for mine. Went to AIT asked the instructors if I could DX and they flat out told me no. You may have better luck though, when I got to my new unit I spoke with my Supply SGT who said I should’ve been able to get new uniforms.

Technically, you are required to maintain your uniforms if you have an MSO, until you finish your IRR commitment.
That’s not to say you won’t get new uniforms, only that you’re supposed to still have your old ones

Well, acu or no longer the service uniform. And I got out right when ocp became the standard.
