Best Answer

Yes, unlike the Army who are given their first set of uniforms, Marines' have to pay for their first set of uniforms. That is what the "smart" card is for. The smart card is like a military charge card directly linked to your pay. In the Marine Corps you pay for everything.

It's worth noting that you pay for food as well. Eating for free in the military as a whole is a myth. In all branches you must sign for each meal you receive and are charged for it. It's a very small amount but you do still have to pay a certain amount to eat. The same goes for haircuts and other necessities.

Officers do not.

Honor guards or those requiring dress blues as their primary uniform because of their job description do not.

All others do.
