Why do you turn in obsolete items on your CIF records when it's time to PCS/ETS? Why must I pay for them if they're missing?

Put me down for one myself. Does the designator "Found on Installation" work for one? :)

In my opinion the Army shouldn't ask for any individual equipment back they are not going to reissue. Think of all the costs to inventory sort and ship that stuff just to get rid of it.

As I stated in my answer Sir, a lot of it is sold to our allies, thus making it profitable for the Army, for Soldiers to turn it back in.

I hear you. I'm less concerned about potentially missing items than I am about having so much to have to keep accounting for. I've tried to go in and turn in and have removed from my records several choice items that i haven't used in years and has been replaced by other gear. I've been through RFI 3 too many times. Quite literally i have 3 tan t-shirts and 3 pairs of green socks. I know exactly when they showed up. The question is, why do i still need them on my 5 page clothing record? I've got roughtly 12 pairs of boots on there of 4 different styles, 5 sets of black silkweight underwear, and 4 sets of tan. Luckily my BDU's were never on there. My DCU's keep switching from ETS transfer y and n.
