Hey guys, going from Reserves to Active Duty. My flight from my place in Texas to Ohio for reserves got cancelled last second and I literally leave for active duty after me attending my last drill weekend. Due to this cancellation (Southwest) I’m wondering if I even have to go ALL THE WAY to my reserve unit just to turn in my gear.

May someone elaborate on this? Thank you!

Oh boy, wonderful South West. Talk to some people from your unit BECAUSE THE PAPERWORK!!!! Yup that thing we all hate has to get covered. You should be able to do it at any unit. Just get a copy for yourself. Worst case, take it with you and let some bean counter will figure it out when you get where you're going. Do not just leave it someplace.

Lol my unit said it was a no go, and had to ship it at my own cost. I made a flight happen really fast at the governments dime lol

That gear doesn’t belong to your unit but the Army since you were Reserves and not National Guard! If you were guard that would be different the state buys a lot of their own gear hence why a lot of states have outdated stuff! You will probably keep a lot of the gear and even get a lot of other gear once you go Active and get to first duty station! I hope this helps and good luck young SGT!

I turned in all of my Active Duty TA 50 at the National Guard CIF. As long as thr location is connected to the system you can do it.

Just find the closest issue point and contact them.
