CIF Turn-In
Army
Definition
The nightmarish process of returning gear at the Central Issue Facility when you leave the Army. They will find stains on items you never used, charge you for things that don't exist, and reject your sleeping bag because it smells like a sleeping bag.
Example Usage
"CIF rejected my turn-in because my canteen had 'water residue.' It's a CANTEEN."
