I recently went to a reserve unit from being on active (years ago) last time I was in uniform I was in BDUS, Do I get another "initial issue" or does the responsibility of getting my dress uniform and the rest of the issue rely on me? I've read different things. I know the unit is getting my ACU/boots/cold weather gear, when they get my paperwork straight.

Yes, you will receive another basic issue. When you get that issue is another discussion.

Yes, you will get a full basic issue.
In my experience, the best and most expedient way to accomplish this is to go to CIF on an appointment. It is a pain to travel, but it is worth it to not have to wait months for the system to get around to mailing you enough piecemeal items to cobble together what you need to be in uniform to train. If your unit is on it's game, they should give you orders and reimburse the travel through DTS.

You should get a supplemental issue. Stay on your S4, because all the paperwork is a lot of work. If you have an AGR supply SGT, they should know how to do it. It is a pain in the ass, so they will avoid it at all costs. Keep at it, and you will get what you need. TA-50 will be issued with CiFsm. They will do the paperwork, and your gear will be shipped to your unit. You will then sign for it and keep it until you get out.
