Does my child have to buy or rent the Army Green Military Uniform?

NO!  The Army uniform and all its items are provided by the US Army.  Once 
issued the uniform, your child becomes responsible for its care and 
cleanliness.  The uniform MUST be returned at the end of the school year, if 
your child transfers to another school, or is disenrolled from Army JROTC.  
Lost or damaged items "might" have to be paid for by you or your child.
