Especially if that MWO was ArmyVern I'm thinking.

Niteshade said:Respectfully Mid Aged Silverback, my question wasn't meant as a "crack" and is a legitimate question.
Certainly we as soldiers are required to wear our DEU uniforms in order to conduct certain duties. However the fact is many a reservist can conduct his duties without them (or at least up until they are finally issued). Armyvern has mentioned why this occurs (earlier in this thread). Clearly this is a cost savings issue as she mentions a lot of money is saved.
At the same token we are also trained to be responsible soldiers and not waste things. If he is truly in need of his uniform (IE a parade coming up in 2-4 weeks time (I know about my parades well in advance)): He can order them in, and if need be on rush order. But if he doesn't need it (which is more likely the case and I have not heard otherwise yet), then why issue simply because "he is entitled" when he is fully aware of a component transfer to a different element. Ergo, he will not use it, and is expending resources with no clear benefit.
My opinion on this matter.

Why am I not suprised. Vern, get out here and sort these f***ers out. Please.ArmyVern said:Ahhhhh davidson, just noticed where you are located; it's not you. Check out his profile Mid-aged Silverback ...
Sounds like SNAFU for army pers.
PMing you with my DIN email addy ... will advise from there.
And as for why the Navy/Air Reserve opt to supply a full DEU issue upfront, my understanding is that it's because those reserve components do the Reg F BMQ, which assumes a full DEU kit issue.Tank Troll said:As far as why this is I can only go by what I was told at the QM. Far to many people were getting in, getting their DEUs then getting out with in that first year. Now this might be only speculation on the supply guys part or it might be true, either way it makes sense.
