/SECPHN:DSN 224-2641//
RMKS/1.  PURPOSE.  TO RECLARIFY REQUIREMENTS WHEN REQUESTING CIVILIAN
CLOTHING ALLOWANCE.
2.  BACKGROUND.  CIVILIAN CLOTHING ALLOWANCE REQUESTS ARE BEING
RECEIVED BY MCUB WITHOUT THE REQUIRED INFORMATION NECESSARY TO
PROCESS THE REQUEST.
3.  INFORMATION.
A.  CHAPTER 4 PARAGRAPH 4301.2 OF THE REF STATES THAT ALL REQUESTS
REQUIRE THE SIGNATURE OF THE COMMANDING OFFICER ATTESTING TO THE
AMOUNT OF TIME THAT THE INDIVIDUAL WILL BE REQUIRED TO WEAR
APPROPRIATE CIVILIAN ATTIRE FOR OFFICIAL DUTY.
B.  CHAPTER 4 PARAGRAPH 4301.3 OF THE REF REQUIRES ALL REQUESTS TO
HAVE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:
(1) EFFECTIVE DATE OF ASSIGNMENT;
(2) TOUR LENGTH/ADEQUATE SEASONS;
(3) ROTATION DATE/END CURRENT CONTRACT DATE; AND,
(4) IF APPLICABLE, START AND END DATES FOR TAD PERIOD.
4.  IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE THE MARINE'S EXPECTED TOUR LENGTH.
ADDITIONALLY, IF THE MARINE HAS LESS THAN SIX MONTHS ON HIS/HER
CURRENT CONTRACT, A STATEMENT ATTESTING TO THE MARINE'S AUTHORITY TO
RE-ENLIST MUST BE INCLUDED.  THIS WILL SPEED THE PROCESS IN
DETERMINEING THE MONETARY AMOUNT DUE THE MARINE.
5.  FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE REGULATIONS AS STATED WILL RESULT IN THE
REQUEST BEING DISAPPROVED AND RETURNED TO THE COMMAND IN ORDER TO
OBTAIN THE NECESSARY INFORMATION.
6.  IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT THAT THE REQUESTING UNIT HAVE A VALID POINT
OF CONTACT SHOULD ANY QUESTIONS ARISE.  MCUB REQUIRES THAT THE
REQUESTING UNIT INCLUDE BOTH DSN AND COMMERCIAL PHONE NUMBERS.  DUE
TO TIME ZONE DIFFICULTIES IN PHONING, AN EMAIL ADDRESS IS ALSO
HELPFUL.//
