I shipped a piece of gear already that was supposed to be turned in to CIF. What would the memo look like stating that this gear is shipped?

Was it a PCS move? I don't know how it works with active duty, but you might be able to have your S4 shop assist you with cross-leveling that piece of gear between this outgoing base's CIF and your new post's CIF.

I know in the reserves, there is one central CIF warehouse that supports the entire reserve component. Soldiers draw their equipment at their first unit and turn it in when they leave service, It travels with them if they transfer. New equipment is added by unit supply as needed throughout their service journey, and old stuff gets turned in as needed. Right now I own two complete sets of battle rattle, rucksack, daypack and cold weather clothing. One in each pattern. I could, if I wanted to, keep all the crap until I leave and turn it into the supply of my final unit. However, I will turn in the old crap ASAP after COVID-19 restrictions allow it.

From personal experience, I shipped some gear went to CIF, Gear was a still in movement and paid my statement of charges before I was released. Depending on your situation your milage may vary.

Be prepared to pay for the item. I'm assuming the item is on the list of items that you cannot PCS with and that is why you're asking. If that is the case, CIF would not have to clear you until you either "find" the item or pay for it through a statement of charges.

That would be called a Statement of Charges, unless Clothing Sales has a new one.

You will ending paying for the equipment based on the condition as recommended by a survey officer.

This has happened to me. I went to CIF and they just transferred my records to next duty station CIF. SOPs differ, check your local CIF.
