I agree, when I went into boot camp in '71, we were issued uniforms two days into reception. It was ten weeks before I had a weekend off, and then it was only an on base pass. (I did basic and A.I.T. at Fort Lewis, Washington. Training companies were located on North Fort, while everything else was across the highway on Main Fort.)
