New APFU for AIT PSGs

1SG Private RallyPoint Member — Sat, 24 Jan 2015 21:10:26 -0500

AIT Platoon SGTs are now authorized to get issued the new APFU. Initially only drill SGTs were authorized however, after I had many conversations with HQDA and the CSO via email and telephone we AIT PSGs can recieve them free. If you need further details I have the ALARACT message. Hope this helps all PSGs across the Army!

Seems like a common sense authorization.

Good news. Thanks for sharing, 1SG Private RallyPoint Member. Here's an ALARACT that discusses this:

One more time. This time, it’s not a draft and has actually been published. The only additional info we have on this new ensemble is a year old.soldiersystems.net/2013/07/26/more-on-the-new-army-physical-fitness-uniform

The only uniform change I was around for was greens to ASUs - which were bought out of pocket. Is it the same for the new APFUs and MultiCams rolling out in FY15? Is the $350 annual allowance expected to cover 4 new combat uniforms + the various pieces of the new APFU?
