Guess things have changed. When I just about finished basic training with the USAF, the TI took us aside and said, "Right here, right now, clean up your language. I don't want any letters from parents later asking "Why is Johnny saying pass the f-ing salt?'"
It was a matter of pride, to speak properly.
As to the missing uniform items, it's replaceable. File a claim. If you spend more than a few years in the military, stiff will get lost, stolen, damaged or otherwise ruined just on the job.
