Every year, the Navy gives sailors an anniversary present — sort of.

It’s called your annual clothing replacement allowance — money sailors are expected to use it to replace any worn-out uniform items .

Nearly everyone will see their annual allowance drop due to a decrease in the required number of sets of Navy working uniforms from four sets to three, because they're no longer allowed at sea due to fire risks.

New uniforms are also being factored in. Female chiefs will receive $56.74 to pay for the new combination cover modeled off those worn by male peers, which they're required to own by October 2016.

Women E-6 and below, however, are still required to maintain their "bucket" hat, as they won't be required to own the "Dixie cup" until 2020. But they can wear this sailor hat with service dress whites starting in November 2016.

Women will get additional dough to buy their new blue crackerjacks in later years.

Sailors get two kinds of uniform allowances: basic and standard. Those with three-years or fewer service get the basic allowance, because, officials say, they’ve just gotten their initial issue uniforms, which won't wear out within three years.

These allowances are paid annually in your end-of-the-month paycheck of your "anniversary month" — the month you entered boot camp.

Also, this is one time enlisted can thank their lucky stars: Officers don’t get clothing replacement allowances — by law, they’re expected to foot the bill for uniforms out of pocket — a Navy tradition dating back to 1775 that recently sparked controversy.

The standard allowance for E-6 and below men is $457.20, $36.54 less than last year. For women of the same ranks, they'll get $468.00, $29.42 less than last year.

Chiefs get a different standard allowance. For male chiefs, it's $649.46, $54.48 less than last year. Female chiefs garner $669.60, a drop of $50.96.

What you get each year factors in the cost and number of uniforms required by their expected wear life. The biggest change this year comes from downsizing the blue-and-gray cammies to three sets.
