Since my gear is still in Poland, is there a memo template I can use to clear CIF so that I can ETS?

My gear is still in Poland but I have an ETS date of 6 Feb, there’s no scheduled transportation of my gear back to the states. Is there a memo template I can use to clear CIF. I’m at Ft Hood if that helps.

SGT, why in the world would you leave your Gear in Poland? Im sure you knew you were going to ETS when you left. This just doesn't pass the common sense test.

You better contact your unit to see if they can ship it back to you so you can turn it in. Otherwise, a MFR AND a FLIPL will probably need to be initiated. Why did you leave your gear behind?

I smell a FLIPL/Statement of Charges...CIF is going to want all that you owe back. It would be slightly different if you were PCSing.

Get with your Rear Det leadership (Sq Ldr, PSG, 1SG, etc to get the officer leadership involved) if your unit went to Poland and took your gear that you signed for. Someone is going to have to take responsibility for the gear. You need this stuff in writing, FLIPL, etc. CIF doesn’t care and will charge you for this if it now ends up missing in Poland and you don’t have any supporting documentation relieving you of ownership of responsibility for this gear.

You might need a report of survey.

For those tat come into this issue in the future a local FLIPL through your S4 will solve the CIF issue.
