a Problelllflten Lengthy mail trans1t tines

NHCB4S3de 3121

Discussion Ha1l dispatched In Rota Spain is delivered by truck dally to tile Hadrld Airport and flOllll on US carrier to New York Hail Distrishybution Center A delay of nine days was experienced before the lllil11 was dispatched flQll llew York to other points causing an average time delay of fifteen days from time of dispatch in Rota to delivery Average transit tfme for incoming 111111 to Rota was approximately the same This problem is well doc11111ented by llOSt comnands in the Rota area and has been the topic of llIUCh message traffic Tne Post Office at the Naval Station Rota has recently been able to secure penaission to utilize l~C aircraft on a teniporary basis to transport mail to Norfolk Virginia The bullquick fixbull has shortened the delay of outgoing mail by four to five days

Action~Reco111nendatfon Continue using HAC aircraft until the New York Mall Dlstrlbilt on Center enlarges Its staff or strea~lines its aianageinenL of mail to ell~lnate the sitting time of mall from deployed units

b ProblemItem Transportation to pick-up and deliver mail from the Seabee Camp was critical

Discussion Hail must be dispatched early on workdays to ensure same day delivery to ffidrid Incoming mall is received at the Naval Station later in the day and available for pick-up by tenanl COl11ilands The postal clerks were often caught short fn looking for transportation A continual problem through the deployment the postal clerks were assigned the same vehicle utilized by the Quarterdeck The weapons carrier assigned was usually on a required run for the Master-at-Arms and not available when needed This caused the postal clerks to try to beg or borrow a vehicle from another departshyment and on several occasions delayed the dispatching of mail until the following day

ActionRecOllllendation Due to the tremendous role mail plays in the 110rale of a deployed battalion serious consideration should be giv~n to assigning a covered lockable Class bullebull vehicle to the Post Office

c Problemlteci JAGC Officers were frequently not available for appointshyments at tile llaval legal Service Office Detacllnent Rota

Discussion A libulltted number of JAGC Officers are assigned to the l1aval Legal service Office Detactrnent Rota and proved to be lllOSt helpful in al1110st all legal problems Due to the large aJIOUnt of personnel assigned to tne Naval Station Rota and the tenant comnands coupled with the necessity of JAGC Officers fron Rota to travel to other military installations within the European theater there was frequently a delay of two to seven days for appointshyments The Naval Legal Services Office Detachment Rota handled almost every type of proble111 11naglnable

Action~Recarrnendatlon The battalion legal officer familiarize himself Wftli t e legal assistance program and be prepared to issue limited power of attorney simple wills Booker rights etc not requiring the specialization of a JAGC

d ProblemItem Processing of administrative discharges for members was lengthy and time-consuming

Discussion The time delays experienced in the processing of administrashytive discharge because of drug abuse or other misconduct was frequently extremely lengthy because of lack of documentation of previous misconduct in the members service record

ActionRecOR111endation Battalion legal officers should become intimately familiar with the requirements for processing members for an administrative discharge Service records should be reviewed and page 13 misconduct warnings inserted on all members that have two or 1110re Captains Masts or court-rnartials Members charged with drug or alcohol related offenses should be irrmediately referred to the CAAC for evaluation All this documentation will be required when the decision is made to process for discharge

e ProblemItem International legal llold resulting from charges being preferred by the Spanish National Police

Discussion Battalion personnel are placed on international legal hold for violating the laws of Spain With the availability of hashish and other drugs the large number of personnel from different conrnands and the limited amount of recreational activities available charges are frequently preferred for such things as drug trafficking possession fighting etc These charges automatically place the individual on an International Legal Hold status which could result in from the most severe charge jail or base restriction to the least inability to depart Spain The court system in Spain is extremely slow moving and the case load large resulting in lengthy time delays

ActionRecOllllendation Battalion personnel should have a strong overseas diplomacy program prior to rotating to Rota and upon arrival should again undergo the overseas diplomacy program conducted by the Human Resources Management Center Rota which is very inclusive and does include a brief on the laws and customs of Spain as well as a tour of the local area

f ProblemItem Typewriters with OCR capability were old and abUsed

Discussion Typewriters that had OCR capability were old and in many instances unusable Repairs were required and could not be performed locally Typewriters were shipped to Gulfport Mississippi for repairs and transit times were lengthy

ActionRec011111endation New IBM typewriters should be purchased to replace all typewriters in camp

g ProblemItem Transportation for llllSsage runs and guard mail runs was not available on most occasions

Discussion Transportation is required for the Adroin and Personnel Office for message runs three times a day guard mail runs once a day The Comnunications Station is located at the opposite end of the base from the Seabee Camp a distance of approximately 5 miles the Admin Building and PSD are located a distance of

NMCB4SJlte 3121

approximately 3 miles Since a large quantity of correspondence is handled by message traffic it is necessary to make at least three message runs a day to pick-up and deliver messages It was also necessary to make at least one guard mail run to the Admin Building dally to deliver flight requests to the PSD and pick-up and deliver guard mail

ActionRecarmendation A class B vehicle assignment should be seriously considered for the S-1 department

h ProblemItem Battalion members are experiencing undue delays in returning from COllUS leave using space available transportation

Discussion There was an Increasing number of personnel who were on leave in COiUS and were unable to obtain space available return transportation to Rota They checked in off leave at the closest Naval activity to avoid UA charges and then awaited further transportation As travel arrangll11ents take some time this caused many manningdiscipline problems

ActionRecarmendation Have battalion personnel going on leave show proof of purchase for round-trip tickets before issuing leave papers
