Good for 90 days by DA PAM and REGs.

And don't get forced into doing it all yourself, have each section do their 2404s.
IMHO it is an 18C job to make sure all the other MOS sign for their Stuff. They have their section and they have their part of the TM room, Butler Bld or Deployment Shed to keep clean and account for. If you think as a Charlie that some other MOS can't handle their stuff, you talk to your Tm SGT. I never thought it was my job to make sure I handled other MOS stuff. We all have a Metic Ton on our plates now a days!! I did need to know where their section stuff was. But I never put it in a tuff box or moved here or there. I did make sure that all section BOX were numbered for deployments and D-list and numbered for AMO paperwork - As per TM SOP. I felt that as a 18C what made you better was working with guys on your ODA not fighting with them over the way they did their section. It may be mess up for your system, but in their minds it's the heat!!

This is what I kept in ODA Property (3" Binder) PBO Book: (All broken down by divider tabs)

1. Copy of CPT's signed hand receipt from Company Supply SGT
2. Sub-Hand Receipts delegating equipment from the CPT to respective individual in that MOS on DA 2062's
3. Copies of all Turn-in Docs / Maintenance Docs for the Commo Section ((NEVER THROW any of these AWAY!! Put them into your OLD PBO Reciept Binder!!!)))
4. Copies of all Turn-in Docs / Maintenance Docs for the Weapon Section ((NEVER THROW any of these AWAY!! Put them into your OLD PBO Reciept Binder!!!)))NVGs always come up missing
5. Copies of all Turn-in Docs / Maintenance Docs for the Medical Section
6. Copies of shortage annexes DA 2062 for the whole ODA. Each Section would do their own up on their own DA 2062
7. 2062s of Equipment signed out not for repairs or maintance
8. Stay Behind and Deployment PBO Reciept
9. All the paperwork you have to purduce while deployed for inventories... Love them!!!
10. DA 2062 or EXCELL List of Team Equipment not on Property Book ie. I have each section do up their own. I tried to do these while we were on a mission or JCET. A MUST right after you get back.
11. Nice to to have a tab for all those reciept you have from buying stuff for that OEF trip. This way you will know what guy have and got.
**** Team Issue Equipment in a 1 1/2" Binder with Sub-Hand Receipts delegating team equipment to Individual on DA2062. Most MOS kepted their own books too. Bravos are best for these!!

All Hand Reciepts and 2062. I never throw away. Just put them in another binder marked OLD PBO Reciepts. I kept only the current CPTs PBO Reciepts, none the old copies were in the 3" Binder.

I will add this, you will always have guys gone during the Company COR inventories. At the worst of time for you as a 18C, it best to have your MOS to make a Picture book, if they didn't have a Section Book. LIke the MED TACT SET or the 18F camera set of what everything is for that SKU worked best for me. ANCOC, SOCM-P, SFSC, Grp language school, ETC you will have guy's gone. The ODA need to help out, not just the 18C. The PBO is signed for by the DET CMDR and he is the ODA CDR. It's not just the 18C that needs to stay long hours laying other sections out becuase that one guy of the MOS is at School and the other MOS is on Leave. I say look it this way - CROSS TRAINING BROTHERS........... Your Cross training while your laying out the SF Tactical Medical Set or Camera Set!!!!!!

Guess what Cowboy, I guess you will be that adhoc 18C after the 18F Course!!
