Allowances: Clothing — Initial issue

Officers get a one-time payment of $400 after commissioning to buy uniforms and insignia.

Enlisted members get an initial-issue allowance for uniforms, shoes, boots and insignia when they come on active duty. Because uniform requirements are different for each service as well as for men and women, payments vary by service and gender. Current rates range from $1,142.36 for a male Coast Guardsman to $1,879.05 for a female Marine.
