While we Marines do pay for uniforms, we also get a yearly clothing allowance (mine came in December). Plus, if you're good with keeping track of expenses, any uniform item purchases can be deducted as a work expense on your tax return.

Definitely, though, "If you want to be a Marine, then do it. If you want to be a Soldier, then do it," is a strong point to heed. The paycheck you receive will be a bonus if you really like what you're doing -- or it'll be the only thing keeping you sane if you don't like the job.
