2 PTU's (physical training uniform) for excersizing. grey shorts and grey shirt with "ARMY" printed on it. Grey sweatpants, and grey zip up hooded sweater with "ARMY" printed on it. BDU's (battle dress uniform) for being in combat or doing your other jobs. even sitting behind a desk, if it is on a base and in an area where dress uniform is not needed. This has many different variations to it, many different pieces. combat boots, camo pants, brown shirt, camo shirt, camo jacket, black leather gloves, camo hat... etc. Dress Uniform (i dont remember the real name for it, i was only in the army a few months) Thats 3 uniforms that you get just for joining, i dont know if you get other ones as well. But to answer your question the way my drill sgt in basic would have, "all of them".
