        complicated with unforeseen overpayments. The primary means for each
        member to monitor their monetary entitlements is the Leave and
        Earnings Statement. January's LES's are still in the mail?

               3. Direct Deposit System. We (U.S. Navy) are adamant about
        our folks being enrolled in DDS. This is one of the best automatic
        pay deposit programs established. We also encourage members to
        obtain a means to acquire desired funds for their use which won't
        complicate or disrupt monies they provide to spouses and other family
        members selected. Normal pay procedures include the ability of
        individuals to negotiate personal checks. This did not take place
        within Headquarters Battalion, hence, support from the battalion in
        providing complete assistance relating to normal paycall procedures
        were not available. Furthermore, when paycall or a "make up" is held
        and a member is away from the compound to support mission needs the
        monetary payment requested cannot be receipted for by anyone but that
        individual. To complicate matters, a viable schedule for paycall,
        doesn't exist, hence, little notice may be given. To summarize if
        the individual is not on station he is simply out of luck until the
        next paycall.

              B. Recommendation. A detailed Division Order be promulgated
        to ensure that all battalions provide complete, equal, and consistent
        procedures when conduction pay calls. In addition, LES's must have
        priority handling".

        IX. Personnel.


            A. Discussion. The make up of aid station personnel consist of
        permanent assigned 2d Marine Division personnel and augmentees. The
        augmentees consist of some who possess NEC 8404 and others that
        didn't have the advantage of receiving formal training and no
Nevertheless, they
        incorporated into aid station functions superbly. They possessed
        various talents and readily offered their assistance. The greatest
        concern was towards their survivability in relations to protocal for
        operating in a field environment. Their survivability was
        significantly increased by hands-on training from both experienced
        medical personnel and the Marines they supported.

           B.   Female Hospital Corps personnel. A total of five females
        were assigned to the aid station. One was administratively dis-
        discharged and another failed to meet the Navy's Dependent Care
        Policy resulting in her non-deployability and is subject to
        administrative separation. Three were deployed in support of
        Operation Desert Shield and provided staffing for the rear aid
        station. The deployed females performed outstandingly. The field
        experienced ones played a key role in assuring that field procedures
        were adhered to. They willingly reported to the forward aid station
        when needed and have performed impressively from the onset.


        X. Division Environmental Health Officer.


            A. Discussion. The information provided by the EHO was
