Poolies and new hires,

Particularly the military folk who've never owned a shirt with epaulets, did you wait until after indoc to purchase uniform attire? I don't want to get the cart before the horse as I still have ~3 months until indoc, but I'm just trying to do some budgeting.

Do they tell you at indoc good places to pick up your uniform? Did you just wear a nice button up shirt, tie, and slacks at indoc? How much did the entire uniform cost? Did you purchase short and long sleeve shirts? I did some searching on other threads and it seems Abbott's is the most expensive but their quality has been waning in the past few years. Any other suggestions?
