mmmm m MM oney. No taxes. More money. Family Separation Allowance, Combat Zone Tax Exclusion and Imminent Danger Pay were just some of the extra pays that Disbursing processed for the crew of the USS George Washington and CVW-7 on her second deployment. Whether it was everyday procedures or a hectic payday, the Disbursing Division continued to deliver superb customer service and had a positive impact on the morale of every sailor onboard GW. The Disbursing Officer and the Deputy Disbursing Officer along with fifteen ship’s compliment DK’s and nine airwing DK’s were responsible for maintaining over 5000 pay accounts, 8 ATM’s, and almost $10 million in cash. In addition, they provided timely customer service, check cashing, and arranged foreign cash currency exchange services. During the deployment, the Travel Fiscal section was responsible for processing over 2700 payment vouchers, including travel claims and dealer’s bills, totaling over $16 million. They made collections of over 7 million dollars from the ship’s store, post office, wardroom, and food service divisions and disbursed over 5000 checks. Whether it was paying the crew on payday, processing travel advances, paying the ship’s bills, or balancing and refilling the ATM’s, Disbursing always put it’s best foot forward.
