When do you get your dress blues?

Dress blues, the formal uniform for the U.S. Marine Corps, are typically issued to Marines upon completion of their initial training. New recruits receive their dress blues around the time of their graduation from boot camp or when they attend the School of Infantry. Additionally, Marines may obtain their dress blues through their unit when they are assigned to their first duty station. It’s important for Marines to maintain this uniform for formal events and ceremonies throughout their service.
