So I’m going to turn in my cif gear tomorrow but I was missing my Kevlar helmet so i went out and got one at a surplus store but it is missing the padding inside will this be a big deal?

Will depend on who it is that gets you to take your stuff back. They're either gonna tell you to come back with all the pads....or tell you that you'll get a statement of charges....or just take it all and tell you to have a nice day. It's gonna be one of those three. Unfortunately, you won't know until you get to CIF.

Are you referring to the pads that are removable and come in contact with your skin? If so, and I could be wrong here, but those will not get turned in. I am guessing you did not have to use your Kevlar very much... we wear ours every time we train and those pads are nasty!

If you are talking about the Advanced Combat helmet ACH with the removable helmet pad set, they usually have you throw them away and the next person gets a brand new set. If it is an old school kevlar without the suspension kit and disposable leather helmet band, different story.

The pads are an expendable item that are aingle use, like tee shirts. You are not supposed to turn them in
