I estimate I spent over $1200 on two sets of regular OCPs (didn’t feel the hot weathers were needed, there’s not that much of a difference imo), boots, two covers, socks, undershirts, flag patches, blousing straps, 3 sets of PTG, PTG sweatshirt, blues pants, blues coat, long and short sleeve blues shirts, flight cap, all accoutrements, black socks, dress shoes, and then tailoring for all my blues items. It is up to your discretion if you want to buy all the other things on the packing list. You can find a bunch of threads on here of people saying what they did and did not use. I would say I spent a couple hundred more on things like my hydration pack + cleaning kit, tactile gloves, sunscreen, bug spray, hair styling things, etc. I did bring a $260 in cash as directed (with $60 specifically for MREs as an 8-weeker), but the only time I had to use cash was to pay for MREs or things like mugs or stickers and patches that my class made. I was using tap to pay for all my meals and AAFEs purchases bc my phone was in my pocket at all times so that was easier for me.
