WHAT CIF doesnt tell you ! these gear is not yours you are BORROWING from the Army and you will have to return it at the end of your stay in the Army Do not write your name or last 4 on any of these items or you will be charged for it... Do not cut the label if you happen to write your name on it or you will be charged for it.. do not loose, sell, pawn or lend your item to your battle buddy If you dont have it at time of clearing you will be charged for it.. if you get blown by an IED you most likely will have to pay for the damaged gear.. if you get injured and you have to be MEDEVAC your stuff will get "lost" and you will be charged for it.. if you leave the Army 25 years from now you will still have to have your initial CIF issued items even if they are DCU or BDU pattern or guess what??.. you will be charged for it... you have to return all your TA-50 in a better condition than what you are received it or yes you guessed..you will be charged for it.. if somebody steals your TA-50 you will be charged for it...
