Some background: our supply room is known for being very poorly organized, our equipment ranges from alice packs/LBVs to Molle rucks/FLCs. I am tasked with supplying my campus (70 cadets) as well as two other campuses 10 and 15 miles away from the supply room, around 15 cadets each. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Cadet PVT (Join to see) Do not acknowledge receipt of anything you have not visually seen and counted!
Do not relinquish/issue/share anything to anyone without a legible, dated receipt and the reason for the distribution!
YOU WILL BE SCREWED IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL!

The first person you should speak to is your military advisor, military science instructor. Then clean up the mess, count the items and organize by type. Find the issue documents and prepare to issue and receive in an organized manner. All military functions have the answer right in front of you, there is a military manual for everything. I am sure there is one in the supply room.

Thank you Command Sergeant Major ZaGara, I'm going to look into FM 10-27 and I spoke with my MSI.

Maintain good relations with your cadre supply NCO or civilian technician. Although you have great responsibility, you are a college student until graduation and commission. You will eventually leave, but an experienced professional should be working with you. Do not attempt to shoulder all the weight by yourself

Sir, I appreciate your comment. I didn't even think about it until you mentioned it.
