pattyrn376 118 Posts Dec 11, 2008 how much does the dress blues cost, I saw them on the net for 400-600, do the RC people need to get them?
Staczse7 310 Posts Specializes in ER/Critical Care. Dec 11, 2008 Pattyif you go on the OBLC website, you will get a packing list and you will get to read the welcome letter that they send to you. Also, you do not need dress blues (Class A's) for OBLC. you graduate/ do everything in your ACU's.May I suggest, if you haven't already getting a copy of the Army Officers Handbook (the new edition 51st) comes out next month---author is LTC Keith Bonn (Ret.)

Blues were required for active duty personnel. Class A's were required for reserve/guard inspection. As you can see in the flickr album our graduation was in ACUs. A $600 clothing allowance will be offered during in-processing to help pay for your blues.
