    You most possibly need to read or re-read the rules of this forum sir.
    I do believe that it states that YOU MUST post prices of your for sale items. And your location should be in the title of your thread.
    But surely I will default to . . ? . . the moderators. --- SAWMAN


    and NO links, needs to be posted in the forum? I believe

    Since the thread is still allowing posts, I'll add some clarity. I met with the OP. Nothing nefarious about the situation other than he has a lot of gear that needs individual prices per the Forum rules.

    He is still active-duty. This is gear that was issued over a decade.

    For those of you ground-pounders, jarheads, and squids, the Air Force doesn't usually require one-for-one swaps when issuing gear (unless it's expensive tech or something controlled like firearms, NVGs, etc). Also, that gear is issued to the individual, and there usually isn't a procedure for turning in used gear for re-issue, since the government is like auto-manufacturers these days: REPLACE vs Repair.

    In addition, many units stationed in the Florida Panhandle issue gear that is commercially procured. Various reasons.

    If you're issued a new widget, but your current widget is broken in, and serviceable, and you're confident in its performance, etc, many of us preferred to continue using that primary widget and keep the issued new one as the backup for the day your current widget BREAKS and it's a ginormous pain in the logistical backside to get a new one through channels. Easier to go to your closet than get another one issued from a supply closet that is now out of stock/funds. Consider it "prepping" for the smart military member: while the supply chain has gear, never say "no thanks", because the day you DO need it, there won't be any.

    From what I saw, and from our conversations, this is the case with the OP.

    Many of us ended our careers with "like new" backup gear because we took care of our primary.

    His only "crime" is not putting individual prices on his long list of now unneeded used gear.
