no, they don't give back credit, it's just the way the government processes the spending and what not. it was just a reassurance to anyone who was worried about finances. if they come with more than 300 they dont take it away.

Wait,,, I'm confused...They take the cash and give back credit? Whait if they have more than $300.00?

yes it is cash in his wallet. its weird the way they do it, but they make you pay up front and then they give you a uniform stipend of the same amount, so in the end you technically dont spend any money.

Question - my son is leaving for OCS tomorrow - on the OCS website under items to bring it says $300 to pay for the initial haircut and the "rest will be put into the company petty cash fund." I assume this means that he should have the $300 in cash in his wallet and not just have a debit card with access to the $300. Does anyone know?

Hi! My boyfriend started in OCS class 03-11 but got rolled because of an injury so now he is in 04-11. It has been really hard being away from my BF for the past few weeks but they enjoy letters and I get calls from him every once and a while. Through the grape vine, I know they get 2 weeks off at christmas which will be nice. I don't know if they get thanksgiving off, but if they do it will probably only be for 24 hours. Hope this info helps, let me know if you have any other questions :)
