Marines who are transitioning out of the Marine Corps, executing permanent change of assignment or permanent change of station orders can expedite their process at the Individual Issue Facility on Marine Corps Air Station New River by being prepared.
Service members who have an air station check out sheet can prepare their gear by ensuring it is clean, and by having all their gear on the checklist, which can be found online or printed at IIF.
"Flaks and packs are a biggie for cleaning," said Trina Martinez, New River IIF site supervisor. "We send issued clothing items to (Marine Corps Base) Lejeune to launder. Items that don’t go in a washing machine need to be cleaned."
The New River IIF, located by the new installation personnel administration center and is open weekdays from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., issues and returns gear to thousands of Marines annually, who are new to the fleet, leaving the Marine Corps or going to another unit.
"If they’re switching units to Camp Lejeune, (Marine Corps Air Station) Cherry Point or (Marine Corps Air Station) Beaufort they need a checkout sheet and a copy of their orders to one of those installations," said Susan Havard, New River IIF store worker.
From there, IIF can sign their sheet, and the Marines can retain their gear during their move to another unit.
Marines checking out and missing gear on their check list have the option to fill out a missing gear statement, NAVMAC 6 form which is routed up through a Marines’ chain of command or buying the gear they need.
"Marines can go to the (military clothing store) at Camp Geiger and the Exchange has some gear," said Havard. "But if they voluntarily want to purchase the items, we recommend they buy them on base rather than out in town."
Marines can find their IIF gear list by visiting https://member.dpas.dod.mil using a computer with a common access card reader.
