Changes to Clothing Online point system

[armyvern]

Been in a year, its initial issue.

Then go to f'n clothing stores and have them order it for you. You do NOT order your initial issue yourself from Logistik. Initial Issues are handled, ordered from Logistik and recd AT/BY clothing stores. ... as is also posted on this site 10 million times ...

Wasn't trying to get ya going Vern.

But when stores tells you to pound sand that the rules have changed and you have to order online..... ODs don't argue much.

OK, so just in case you failed to mention to them that your whites were for "initial issue":

The change in the rules (circa 2004/5) was applicable ONLY to replacment DEU. All members must now order their own replacement DEU using their points via Logistik Unicorp ...

...

I see that there has been a "change to the regulations" in that members now only have 1 year to have Clothing Stores order their initial issue on their behalves ... and to do "free" exchanges for the first year after enrollment/change of enviornment. Ergo, change all my previous to read 1 year vice 5 years.

But, in your case, it looks like you've actually been in longer than 1 year not less than one year.

If not, then go back to clothing and have them login to Logistik and read Logistik's very own statement about Initial Issues:

Am I entitled to an initial issue of DEU?
All members that are enrolling in the CF are entitled to a full initial issue of DEU according to certain supply policies which is ordered through your supporting Supply Section. Your points are not to be used to order your Initial Issue and are only designed to replace your worn DEU items. You are entitled to one year of free exchange of initial issue items at clothing stores and have one year to fully complete this initial issue by visiting any clothing store.

On a personal note: It's about damn time they lowered the time limit for initial issues ... I never could understand how someone would be incapable of finding a sole single hour within a 5 year period to go to clothing and have their initial issue order placed. I always just rolled my eyes when pers would show up and bitch at us like it was our fault because they had to use points (or purchase back in the day) because their 5 years had expired and they had been incapable of finding an hour to do so.

Just a reminder to everyone - get your Clothing Online orders in before March 31, or you lose any points you have over 300.

Use 'em or Lose 'em!

A quick reminder from DSSPM2 that as per CANFORGEN 077/10 Para 2:

As of Apr 1 2010, "THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF POINTS THAT CAN BE CARRIED FORWARD INTO THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR WILL BE 300".

Therefore, if your account balance currently exceeds 300 points, you have until Mar 31 2011 to spend the accumulated excess points; after this date they will be removed permanently.

I know this is an older thread, but I just noticed this and since I know the answer to Vern's question, I thought I'd weigh in.  Before I do that though, I will voice my agreement with her that five years was too long.  Nevertheless, the five year limit was derived from the calculation that it would take five years worth of Clothing Upkeep Allowance (CUA) to pay for a complete issue of uniforms.  In other words, after five years, you would already have received enough money through your pay to buy a complete replacement uniform; therefore, you no longer needed your initial issue.  Flawed reasoning perhaps, but true nonetheless.  Now that we no longer collect CUA, the whole premise goes out the window.

Just remembered last week, got a new gaberdine, tunic and some gloves just to make sure my excess points weren't sent into the abyss. Shame they're lowering the point totals, but really how often do you need to replace all of your DEU accouterments?

boy am I glad I found this....

Time to go order a few things to make sure I use those 200 points I woulda lost!

I love the wool socks and order them as much as they let me. I wear them all year around on a daily basis.

...since March 31st is rapidly approaching, just a reminder to pick up the DEU pieces you may be missing before your points lapse...
