Good evening everyone. Can anyone working in a supply answer this?
I've been trying to get new Air Force blue short sleeve t-shirts. We need to wear these to fly and mine are getting really thin and some holes are appearing. I could go out and buy some with my money, but I'm entitled to 5 a year, so I'd like to have them issued to me. I went to supply every month since last September and I have no luck in getting ANY size. They always reply "Try again next month, we should be getting some". Is there a global shortage or is it just where I am??
The same thing happens with Aircrew long jons (the cotton ones). Mine are starting to rip appart in the groin area and I can't get new ones. This is my second layer when I go flying (we are required to wear 2 layers) and I'd hate to be burnt in the groin area because supply can't get any cotton long jons...
Oh and lately, they have a really big shortage of flying gloves, to the point we are only allowed to have 1 pair at the time (our scale of entitlement is 2). Although not the end of the world, it's really nice to have a second pair. I usually leave one in my flying gear locker (and fly with it), and wear the other one outside.
Is that pretty much the case on every AF base or is it just a local issue??
Thanks,
Max
