IIRC, the nsn is stamped on the blade. You could simply ask your Missus to nip downstairs and look at the one wedged in the keyboard.

Also, look at your PMs.

Anyone help me out with the NSN for Silverdip ?

**leethelooney** · 16-03-2010, 11:49

All these NSNs are all very well and good, but you can't just order them on a whim, what kind of justification do you tell the QM? 'I need them for exercise/ops'? I know our QMs dept wouldnt even give you a fu@king fart even if you were going on ops unless it's on a specific list we are entitled to have.

Alright Fellas,

Im in the process of gettin posted and in need off a large roll of bubble wrap.... any chance someone can help me out there please ;)

As you said you wont get a fart without justification, and why should you? I personally know senior G4 staff who have tried to order things they are not scaled for and ended up getting a prompt telling off. If your unit is scaled to have something then there will be a reason that goes hand in hand with the item.
For example (Lowa Boots) mostly only SF units will be scaled for these, anyone else trying to order them simply wont get them. Justification or not...

Back to my question... does anyone have the NSN for "Silverdip" ?

If it's for expense items then most of the time it's not a drama, ET items and shiny/expensive items can be more of a problem and you have to be a bit more Creative.

Just give a different item description/name; 'Maglite' becomes 'Lamp Assy' 'Knife' becomes 'Blade Replacement' if that doesn't work then quote some random AESP

(Failing that a well timed 1043 is always useful.)

CC TA
I once dropped some Aircraft tech in the brown smelly stuff for demanding a "Cloth" for a Lynx re fit.
I have no idea what he was going to do with the "Panties, Womens, PT" that the NSN related to.

My MJDI comes up with H10 7930 99 7718411 for silverdip.

Shiny.

Does anyone have a NSN for some GUCCI Goggles for our guys to use refuelling aircraft on the line. Ideally not the ones that have the foam surround. but anyhting else would be great.

I have tried the UVEX website but to no avail

Check the DofQ before you order

I've had some good ones recently.

Ordered twenty x M10 screws - two boxes of 50 bolts turned up.
Ordered one litre of paint, was told only five litre tins were available - five x five litre tins turned up.
Ordered one litre of another type of paint and was told they now come in five litre tins. I put a note on the laundry list explaining I only need a small amount, again; five x five litre tins turned up again - I'm gonna have to order a new coshh locker at this rate.
