Chapter 17 — ADMINISTRATION, PUBLICATIONS, AND SUPPLY 



When required, parts common to other elec- 

 tronic equipment, if not stocked locally, are 

 requisitioned through the local supply office for 

 proper channeling. 



Accessories 



Unless accessories are furnished as part of 

 the complete equipment they are not initially 

 provided. 



Instruction Manuals 



Instruction manuals, where required, are 

 generally packed with the equipment. In in- 

 stances in which necessary maintenance parts, 

 accessories, or instruction manuals for items 

 are not provided but are required, an analysis 

 of such requirements, including detailed lists 

 of items, should be made the subject of a report 

 to Commander, Naval Air Systems Command 

 (AIR-05F). 



FAILED OR UNSATISFACTORY 

 METEOROLOGICAL EQUIPMENT 



Unsatisfactory parts or equipment will be 

 reported in accordance with OPNAVINST 

 4790. 2( ). Reports of deficiencies will be sub- 

 mitted utilizing OPNAV Form 4790/47. 



Material in this category is turned in com- 

 plete, including all components and accessories 

 originally furnished under the stock number 

 (less ink and/or charts for recording equip- 

 ment). If required, a replacement item may be 

 obtained prior to turning in the unsatisfactory 

 or defective item by submitting a requisition 

 and stating justification to the nearest Mete- 

 orological Stock Point. 



Meteorological equipment which is damaged, 

 worn, or faulty and beyond local repair capa- 

 bility shall be shipped to the Supply Officer, 

 Naval Air Station, Alameda, CA, or the Naval 

 Air Station, Norfolk, VA, whichever is nearer, 

 in accordance with NAVSUP Manual, Paragraph 

 26080. Each item will be tagged with the stock 

 number, nomenclature, and marked "Meteoro- 

 logical Material for Repair." 



EXCESS MATERIAL 



Meteorological equipment and supplies in 

 excess of requirements and applicable allow- 

 ance are returned to the nearest Meteorological 



Stock Point, if in ready for issue (RFI) con- 

 dition. Equipment not in RFI condition is disposed 

 of in the same manner as failed or unsatisfactory 

 meteorological equipment.

REQUISITION PROCEDURES 



Replenishment refers to obtaining new sup- 

 plies when old supplies are consumed or ren- 

 dered useless. It involves priorities for ordering, 

 accountability for received materials, direct 

 local procurement, allotments, and obligations. 

 By far, the greatest amount of activity centers 

 around the simple ordering of supplies required 

 on a routine basis. This ordering is accom- 

 plished through the MILSTRIP system for order- 

 ing supplies. MILSTRIP stands for Military 

 Standard Requisitioning and Issue Procedures. 



Stock replenishment by a weather office is 

 made by station requisition to the station's 

 supply office. That office in turn either issues 

 the material from stock on hand or orders the 

 material from the appropriate agency. 



To order supplies, use one of the DD 1348 

 forms; these forms are the forms used in the 

 MfLSTRIP. The purpose of MILSTRIP is to 

 standardize forms, formats, codes, procedures, 

 and priority systems, and to provide a common 

 supply language and more effective supply sys- 

 tem operations. It provides a single requisi- 

 tioning and issue system for use by all services 

 which will provide more effective and efficient 

 system management.
