I
f you ignore your body armor when you clean your clothing and other gear, you
could get an unpleasant surprise when you try to turn it in.
The CIF (Central Issue Facility)
expects clothing to be clean when you
turn it in—and that goes for body
armor, too. If you let sweat and dirt set
for months in body armor, the armor
becomes very difficult to get clean. One
CIF reported that some soldiers have
had to clean their armor four different
times before it was clean enough to turn
in. That's aggravation you want to avoid
when you're processing out.
The body armor's collar is a real col-
lector of sweat and dirt and it's the
toughest area to clean. Just using a
brush and water often won't do the job.
You may think you've scrubbed out the
dirt, but when the armor dries the dirt
comes right back to the surface.

No. Some adhesive labels are falling off and unfortunately they contain important
information. If your JSLIST bag is losing any of the seven labels but the labels are
still inside the clear plastic outer bag,
remove the clear bag and use an indeli-
ble marker to clearly print the surveil-
lance info on the nylon/foil package. At
a minimum, the info should include the
last part of the contract number, last
four digits of the NSN, manufacture
date, date packaged, inspection date,
surveillance marking number, and gar-
ment size. When you're finished, reseal
the nylon/foil package in the clear bag.
The bag helps protect JSLIST.
If you have JSLIST with missing labels, however, you must turn it in. Contact the
POCs listed below for information.
