"They all have excellent resumes... So what I’m trying to find out is how they will behave under pressure. Will they lie, or bluff, or panic, or wilt? Or will they continue to function with some modicum of competence and integrity?" Admiral Hyman G. Rickover, U.S. Navy, discussing his style of interviewing all officers who entered the Naval Reactors program.

The USS JayHawk meets the USS Wildcat tonight, a classic confrontation of the two most winning teams in NCAA history. (Ok UCLA is in there too) Good luck to all without any injuries.

they get an allowance, but is does not cover most uniform costs......the 2012 men's E1-E6 total seabag price is $ 1697.30.  Basic annual replacement allowance is given to members with up to three years on active duty while those who have completed three years of service receive the standard allowance.  Standard replacement allowance is $ 482.40 and basic replacement allowance is $338.40.  From NavyTimes 7 Nov. 2011

Kelly, they get a yearly uniform allowance. Anything else they spend money on (computers, civilian clothes, video games, etc...)
would be on their own dime

QUESTION: My son is about to go on his first deployment and just called to say he had to spend most of his paycheck to load up on clothing and supplies for the next 6 months. Does the Navy provide a clothing allowance or do sailors have to buy all of their work clothing themselves?
