(1) Original Outfitting
(a) Issue. Following a careful fitting on the basis of individual measurements, the basic wetsuit will be procured locally, according to SAR Model Manager specifications and issued immediately. Because of the personal nature and the need for close fit in this item, the wet suit will be expended from the record upon issue; hence, it will not be stocked in quantity or carried on stock records either before or after issue. Records of the individual swimmers measurements will be maintained by the local SAR Swimmer School for a period of five years from the date of original issue so that future replacement of equipment may be expedited. Those other items of the outfit also of a personal nature will be expended upon issue. How- ever, these items do not offer such rigid tolerance as wet suits and may be stocked in quantities of differ- ent sizes and manufacture.
(b) Record of Custody. Upon initial receipt, the rescue swimmer will sign duplicate custody records of issue. One copy will be kept by the supply officer and the other copy will be placed in the recipients service record. Additional entries will be made upon each subsequent issue or return of (damaged, worn, etc) gear. Each additional entry will be dated and initiated
Material Expenditure 2 5 8 4 5 by the rescue swimmer and the supply officer issuing
or receiving the gear.
(c) Loss of Custody Records. If both copies of the custody record are lost, the individual concerned will submit a request to his commanding officer for a duplicate set of records of personal gear. The request will be. prepared in triplicate, setting forth the circum- stances of the loss, including a statement as to the status of the applicant’s personal gear. Upon approval of such request, the commanding officer will have a duplicate set of personal gear records prepared and issued. The duplicate records will be inscribed and brought up to date according to information in the applicant’s request. On the duplicate records, the pre- vious receipt of items will be indicated by entering “Applicant’s letter dated “ opposite each item acknowledged by the applicant to have been pre- viously received. Each such entry will be over- starnped with name and grade of and initialed by the officer issuing the duplicate personal gear records. The applicant’s request will then be endorsed by the officer issuing the dupIicate records to indicate action taken. The duplicate set so authenticated will be ac- cepted in lieu of the original by all issuing officers.
(d) Disposition of equipment. Each individual authorized to receive SAR gear may retain such items issued to him for as long as he is assigned to duty as a rescue swimmer requiring the use of such articles. Upon change of duty station involving flying status as a rescue swimmer, he will carry this outfit with him as part of his personal luggage. When the individual is transferred to a duty station not involving flying/ rescue swimmer training status, he will turn in his SAR gear to the supply officer prior to departure, ex- cept those items considered as a personal garment i.e., wet suit, mask, fins, and snorkel.
(e) Invoice and Stock Record Keeping. At the time of issue a properly prepared Requisition and In- voice/Shipping Document (DD Form 1149) or DOD Single Line Item Requisition System Document (DD Form 1348) will be submitted to the supply officer, and receipt of personal SAR gear items will be ac- knowledged by one of the following certifications signed by the individual receiving the issue:
“I acknowledge receipt of the above described articles of original allowance. I certify that I have not received similar articles”, or “I acknowledge receipt of item for item replacement of articles or personal
SAR gear covered by survey . I certify that I have not previously received replacement of this equipment". The supply officer will treat initial issues of rescue swimmers’ equipment to eligible personnel as nonreplenishable issues; subsequent issues by the supply officer to replace worn, damaged, lost, or overage items will be treated as replenishable issue.
(2) Replacement
(a) Damaged Items. Upon receipt of a used item of personal SAR gear and a properly prepared DD Form 1149 or DD Form 1348, the supply officer will issue a similar serviceable article in exchange, or au- thorize local procurement, in accordance with the SAR Model Manager specifications, as necessary.
(b) Lost or missing items. To obtain replace- ment for lost or missing items, a brief explanation de- tailing the cause and responsibility for the loss will be submitted on the DD Form 1149 or DD Form 1348 to the supply department. This statement will be ap- proved by the squadron commanding officer or officer in charge.
(c) Survey Items. No survey will be conducted for damaged, lost or missing items; however, the com- manding officer or officer in charge may initiate an investigation into any incident involving damage or loss of such gear.
(d) Repair of Personal SAR Gear. Only repairs which are within the capabilities of the rescue swim- mers themselves or a parachute rigger shops efforts (e.g. mending tears in wet suits) will be effected. Re- fer to NAVAIR 13-1-6.7 Manual for repair proce- dures. For more serious damage or wear, items will be returned to the manufacturer for replacement or re- pair.
(e) Marking of Personal SAR Gear. The name, grade, and command or activity, will be placed on items of personal SAR gear in such a way that re- moval will not damage the gear. The swimmers initials will be affixed on items too small to accommodate this information.
