I never received or signed for the new Army OCP uniforms. Will I have to pay out of pocket or will I get it as initial issue?

Are you going from Reserves to Active Duty? If that is the case, the first couple of paychecks that have Clothing Allowance in them, you can go purchase (if you aren't issued them by your unit) them. The Mandatory Possession date is 1 October 2019. So don't worry too much as you still have some time.

Technically, you're supposed to retain all your old issue until your MSO end date. However, you may get an initial issue memo coming from a break in service, as I did.

You should go pay a visit to your u it supply SGT. He should be able to put in the order for you if you haven’t been issued them. Or he just might have some in the supply room.

I remember a recent JCOS head who failed to clear CIF. Or as President Reagan would say "Trust, but verify."

I assume you are going Active Duty? I ask because I know the USAR process.

From what I have been told, if you have been out past your IRR time, you are SUPPOSED to get a new initial issue.
