The Disbursing Office is also responsible for the accu- rate and efficient processing of hundreds of travel claims that are submitted by members of the Nimitz crew and embarked Air Wing personnel during their tour aboard Nimitz. During the deployment approximately 42,000 Leave and Earnings Statements QLESI were received from Navy Fi- nance Center, Cleaveland, Ohio. They were immediately reconciled in order to have them prepared for Pay Day. This meant that each one had to be balanced, verified and checked for computer error. In addition to these functions, the Disbursing Office offers an array of services including check cashing, foreign currency exchange, allotments and individual financial planning. With the obvious impact pay has on morale, Disbursing Clerks must project the highest degree of integrity, through a broad and ever-deepening knowledge of their jobg includ- ing kind and courteous customer service to their ship- mates. The Disbursing Clerks comprising S-4 Division take great pride in being professionals. This is reflected by their sharp military appearance and their desire to do the best job possible. During the deployment, DKs stood port and starboard duty to provide twenty-four hour services to the crew. - GLB, .,- 260
