So you've been looking for regs and publications which are on the "Forms and Publications" page of the National website?

And all you've got to do to get it is convince your State Director and your Wing Logistics Officer that you really need it.

Just remember one thing about DRMO, this is where the military sends stuff that is either worn out or is in bad enough condition that nobody on that base wants it.

You basically get what you pay for....

I would agree that a lot of the stuff that goes to DRMO is junk, but our local ANG unit sends uniforms to DRMO that are practically new or in really good condition.  Occasionally, some of them don't make it on the truck  :) and wind up being worn by our cadets.  You figure that if a traditional guardsman gets a new set of uniforms each year, they've really only been worn about 20 times - but they get multiple pairs...

I think DRMO is awesome!

I know.  All I have to do is talk to Badger Bob, creator of this thread.  And what's better?  WI is a test wing that gets to cut our own mil strips! Bye bye waiting periods

Thats a lot of uniforms to go through per a guardsman if they are practically still new if you ask me a bit of a waste but thats not the point.  If they are still new like that when DRMO gets them, I'll bet they are earmarked for retention to reuse within their actives and they'll take back the really worn out ones and send them to CAP.

I haven't found anything we could use from DRMO yet, not that we need anything right now either.

Easy there Dan.

Remember the paperwork and procedures.
The DRMO is not your local WalMart. You can't always order 2 of this and three of that.

Each request has to be initiated and justified by your friendly wing supply officer, approved by CAP-NHQ LG, then approved by your wing CAP-USAF state director, then approved by the regional CAP-USAF LG.

Then the total request has to justify burning a $100 in gas to move it from the DRMO to Wing Supply and then to the squadron.

Some wings are fortunate enough to be near a major base or major DRMO. Other wings need to travel hundreds of miles to pickup or return equipment

Oh, I'm fully aware of all of that.  But we still get our stuff faster than anyone else.

Free + efficient makes me [filled with glee]

^ I used to walk into DRMO each week, pull the numbers off the items I wanted, call my Region AF LG (some NCO), and I did the paperwork, faxed for a signature, and walked out within an hour with what the wing needed. 

Doing it on line would only save me a few minutes.  I had the system down perfect.  Doing it all on line would not allow me the opportunity to actually tear apart the items I wanted to make sure they were not crap.

On a side note, I screen on line now in the Army.  About once a month I head to DRMO with the Army Civilian assigned to the ROTC Battalion, and we pickup some cool stuff.  Granted there is stuff we don't need, and have piles of junk everywhere, but I do make some good finds.  I hate taking stuff back to DRMO though.  We were to turn in BDU's when all the Cadets got brand new ACU's last year.  I called the local CAP units and did a "lateral transfer".  If I would have taken the BDU's to DRMO, CAP would not have been able to get them.  I "went around" the DRMO system, thus freeing the uniforms up for CAP.  I am such a HERO!

^Yeah, we've never had a problem with uniforms.  We have tons and tons of uniforms in our supply cage, of every kind.  Blues, BDU's, flight suits, parkas, poplin, trenches, boots, covers, everything.  Often, when I was supply sergeant, we'd go into the cage and find huge trashbags of uniforms we didnt even ask for.  All handed down from DRMO.

My squadron has tons of boxes of uniforms and boots, we didn't/don't get much parkas/cold winter coats and such though because we were getting our stuff directly from the Kingsley ANG rather than through DRMO in Ft Lewis but now we can't even do that anymore.
