The short answer to this question is yes and no as it is situational dependent. Assuming these items were never issued to the Soldier, then the Commander may be misinformed on the policies pertaining to this situation. In accordance with CTA 50-900 (para. 4, part c), locally procured items can be purchased by units when they are not available in the Army supply system. These items must not be issued as requirements, and should meet American National Standards Institute recommendations if possible. Furthermore, CTA 50-900 (para. 8, part b), states an individual can be issued a supplemental allowance for items required that may not be a part of clothing/equipment issued to most Soldiers. If these items were not a part of the Soldier’s initial …show more content…
If this Soldier is being required to purchase the cleaning kit or sewing kit, it is likely the rest of the unit is going to have to make the same purchase. It makes sense for the Commander to steer toward seeing if the specific items are available in the Army supply system and purchase them with unit funds. If this is not an available option, the Commander’s next course of action should be to compile a list of items he/she wants their Soldiers to have that may not be standard issue items. This should be submitted as a supplemental clothing allowance request for those Soldiers who require the items. If the Soldier in question had been issued these items, his/her leadership should counsel on the importance of accountability and require the Soldier to purchase the items as a replacement. I could not find a regulation stating it is acceptable for leadership to require certain brands be purchased. The Soldier should only be required to purchase the standard issue items, and should also be given adequate time to save for the expenses. In this situation, one pay period is likely adequate due to the low cost of the items in
For the creation of the first database HandsOnOne in a new Query Editor window, first, I went to the SQL Server Management Studio in the program menu and make sure to connect to the named instance SQLSERVERHOA. After the successful connection to the named instance, I went to the Object Explorer and right clicked on the database and select New Database. I typed the new Database name HandsOnOne and made the update in Autogrowth and initial size column as Data file initial size: 40 MB, Log file initial size: 15 MB, Autogrowth enabled with 15 MB in file growth, and Unlimited maximum file size as shown above in screen shot # 1.
Just about every business has some aspect to it that involves technology. This could be something as simple as email to something more complex like a server farm. Either way there is always an IT (Information Technology) technician involved in it somewhere making sure all of the cogs work together.

In Dr.Albigence Waldo’s diary he says, “Poor food… fatigue, nasty cloaths, nasty cookery, vomit half my time… There comes a soldier, his bare feet are seen thro’ his worn out Shoes, his legs nearly naked from the tatter’d remains of an only pair of stockings.” Also, in Document B, you can see one soldier has completely lost their right pant leg and has nothing to replace it. You can also see many men without toes on their boots and no other pair of shoes. This shows that the soldiers at Valley Forge were not given the proper accouterments to survive their stay. This made it incredibly hard for the soldiers to train and made their winter even more
The white soldiers were tended to, and quartermasters supplied whatever was needed. However, the men of the 54th did not receive even the slightest of luxuries. These men did not receive shoes, uniforms, or even weapons for a time. One of the men of the 54th was whipped for deserting, but he only deserted to find some shoes. When Colonel Shaw heard about this he felt great remorse for having ordered the whipping and immediately forced the quartermaster to supply his troops with whatever was needed. Another example of the inequalities is the fact that the men of the 54th were paid three dollars less per month than the white soldiers. This stirred uproar within the regiment. They believed that they were risking their lives just as much as the white soldiers and they deserved the same
I absolutely believe that it is appropriate and necessary for local and state law enforcement agencies to acquire equipment from the Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office (DRMO) better known as The 1033 Program. This program allows all agencies to sign for perfectly good excess military equipment without any cost to the agency. This really benefits the smaller agencies across the country because the majority of the agencies employ less than 200 personnel with over three quarters of the department’s budget solely going towards salary and benefits (Dudley, 2014). Being able to sign for excess military equipment without any charge allows that department to be better equipped and saves the taxpayers money.
We weren’t told whether they were or not. But, in truth, it was just a blessing for us to escape our civilian clothes. They were becoming tattered and smelling like gymnasium socks.”
O’Brien begins his novel describing the physical objects that the soldiers were required to carry. One of the first things O’Brien says is, “Among the necessities or near-necessities were P-38 can openers, pocket knives, heat tabs, wristwatches, dog tags, mosquito repellent, chewing gum, candy, cigarettes, salt tablets, packets of Kool-Aid, lighters, matches, sewing kits, Military Payment Certificates, C rations, and two or three canteens of water.” (Page 4) Although these items put tremendous
g. Individual soldiers will become familiar with their responsibilities while in possession of weapons and sensitive items as outlined in appropriate regulations.
Some necessities are more individual. Kiowa, for example, carries a copy of the New Testament, and Ted Lavender is scared, so he carries tranquilizers, Jensen carried a toothbrush, dental floss, and bars of soap considering practiced in the field of hygiene, Dobbins, carried extra rations, Sanders carried the PRC-25 radio Bowker carried a diary, Rat Kiley carried a canvas satchel filled with morphine, all things a medic must carry, and a comic book, Jimmy Cross carried a compass, maps, code books. By necessity, they carried steel helmets, camouflage cover, standard fatigue jackets and trousers. On their feet they carried jungle boots. This heightens the many necessities to the soldiers were carrying to be prepared for what is to come.
If we have no shoes, how do you expect our feet to be protected?! The ground is frigid and muddy, without shoes it makes our experience even worse than it already is. All of us soldiers have torn up, rag tag clothes we brought from our own supplies from home. While General George Washington and the members of Congress have crisp, clean, and neat uniforms. No one has even thought to donate to the cold, frostbitten soldiers.
Another substantially detailed necessity of the men is their military supplies. O'Brien goes into minute detail, for literally pages, describing the supplies that the men used for defense purposes. Primarily, he lists the standard weaponry for war, the typical rifles, grenades, and defensive clothing such as the flak jacket and helmet (6- 7). He relates the enormous burden of weight that Ted Lavender was carrying when he was shot, and how that weight caused him to fall like "a big sandbag or something - just boom, then down." (7) The next passage describes all of the extra weapons they carried, ranging from fragmentation grenades to brass knuckles
Placing soldiers in our homes is worse enough, but furnishing them “with fire, candles, vinegar, and salt, bedding, utensils for dressing their victuals, and small beer or cyder…” is, even more, a burden to our hard earned money. And what happens if we revolt against
To conclude this he has a uniform that is important to him. The uniform is from World War 2 and was given to him by his grandpa. The uniform is old, torn, tattered, and faded. It’s really important to him and gives him motivation to be a solder one day. Next time you someone with something old and think “that person just needs to throw that away,” tell yourself “I wonder why he has it and is it important to
