If you can't afford new ones presently, get with your NCO chain to see what can be done in regards to submitting a clothing request thru your Supply.Response by MSG Private RallyPoint Member made Nov 15 at 2017 10:33 AM2017-11-15T10:33:48-05:002017-11-15T10:33:48-05:00SGM Bill Frazer3093463<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>1. Concur with the SSG. 2. Why the hell are you asking strangers instead of your NCO's? Your Team leader, Sqd leader can probably square you away, if you will ask them.Response by SGM Bill Frazer made Nov 15 at 2017 11:23 AM2017-11-15T11:23:10-05:002017-11-15T11:23:10-05:00SGM Erik Marquez3093568<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>CLA is not an account you draw against (though i wish it was)<br />It is an annual lump some direct deposited.<br />Its common to have several sets, see if you can borrow what you need till pay day..buy your buddy lunch for loaning you what you need. <br />On another note, most single newish SM live to the ends of means paycheck to paycheck... <br />But keeping $100 in a savings account, saved just a few $10 at a time for a few months getting to that small emergency savings will not hurt much And will really help when you come to that unplanned need for a few $$......that extra haircut you now need because of a special duty tasked or inspection... replacement of a set of running shoes that went running without you...new PT shorts that got ripped doing combative one week and need replacement.<br />Instead of a panic frenzy of borrowing what you need or $$ , you can dip in to that reserve cashResponse by SGM Erik Marquez made Nov 15 at 2017 11:48 AM2017-11-15T11:48:15-05:002017-11-15T11:48:15-05:002017-11-15T10:29:02-05:00
