Do reservists and NG Soldiers who transition to Regular Army get a full initial clothing issue?

I just got 3 Soldiers in my platoon who were in the reserves. I know that when I was stationed at Ft. Hood (7 years ago) all SMs who came to the AR/NG were issued a full initial clothing at clothing in sales. Here at Ft. Polk, clothing and Sales does not have a clue of what I'm asking. Did the reg changed or was this something that Ft. Hood did during those days?

AR 700-84 chap. 12-6 is your guidance on this. The soldiers should have a DA form 4886 listing their current clothing issue/inventory. However, this form is often not properly maintained in the reserve component and may not be with their records.

As a supply sergeant for a national guard unit. I Normally do a one for one swap before they are discharged for the guard. You should take them to supply and have them do a 3078 to re-issue if they do not have any serviceable uniforms.

Well I remember back in the early 80's I had some guys that came in to active from the guard and they got a complete issue seeing they had to turn in everything issued to them because it belong to the guard they were told

Yes, You can Half you Supply NCO field out all the paper work and have your soldier DX (they were Reservist and no NG so they own there Uniforms) there Old Uniforms. Make your Supply NCO do his JOB.
