Gathering data on what to tell Soldiers to not throw away from wear and tear, thereby saving money.

1. You don't throw away any gear unless you want to buy it. 2. Damaged/unfit gear (in your mind) should be taken to the supply NCOIC for verification and determination. 3. Do what he says, if it is CIF issue they can arrange a Direct (e)Xchange for the item.

Download your clothing record. It will say right on it what you can keep. ETS and PCS Trans. Yes on both means you can keep it / throw it away.

It's not a matter of what CIF will issue or not issue, it's a matter of what is turned back in or not. Your clothing record dictates what is ETS/PCS transferrable. If it's not Transferrable but has wear and tear, get with your unit supply to get that item turned in and exchanged.

Talk to the supply SGT. That is his job.

When I PCSed Lewis back in 09, I had to clear like I was ETSing because I was going to Meade. No CIF there. When I left Riley to go to Offutt I just had to turn in my IOTV and plates.

You have to go to CIF every PCS to find out what they want. Same with ETS. They'll tell you what to turn in and what not.

If it's on your CIF record. the safest and least financially harmful thing to do is keep it, and get with your leadership for a direct exchange. After every fields problem, an inspection of gear should be done by leadership to determine what items need to be replaced, and how it will be replaced. It's all part of the recovery phase of field training and deployments.
