*Soldiers have a minimum of 30 days prior to out-processing with orders at this location to schedule turn-in appointments for Direct Exchange prior to retirement and Expiration of Term of Service (ETS) from the Army. This ensures that a fully cleared clothing record will be before departing the installation. Soldiers leaving due to Permanent Change of Station from one installation to another will retain their issue of current gear, less ballistic plates and any other item(s) deemed necessary for retention by CIF. They may be able to use the Storefront to exchange items and clear unneeded items off of their clothing record. However, they must also follow the rules of the 30-day timeline.
