Does anyone have any insight on who owns squadron issued special duty uniforms? My OIC (civilian) wants to take back the uniforms I was issued 2 years ago since I am leaving the section. I have put money into them for rank changes and what not. But I cannot find an afi saying who the uniforms go to or if they can take them back. If anyone deals with this or can point me to the right regulation, it would be much appreciated.

I am a Marine, so my experience may not bear true in the USAF.

Did you pay for them from your uniform allowance. If so I'd say they are yours.

If the unit supply issued them and you got them for the price of a signature on an issue card, I'd say they belong to the unit.

I'm having a hard time imagining a supply issue item that a service member is allowed to personalize, even if it's only chevrons.

they issued, but they told me I had to pay out of pocket for the rank change embroidery
