If you can&#39;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.

Concur with the SSG. 2. Why the hell are you asking strangers instead of your NCO&#39;s? Your Team leader, Sqd leader can probably square you away, if you will ask them.
