DISBURSING' NOTICE '
"DEAD-HORSE" is not only commonly
used in lieu of "advance of pay", it
is used for good reason. No dead
horse could weigh more heavily on the
back of a man than the need to continue
paying off an advance pay indebtedness
for months following the last sight or
use of mbn^y involved. Too often the
member who has drawn advance pay loses
sight of the fact that reimbursement
for his and his dependents1 travel
plus dislocation allowance which may
accrue, will not equal the amount of
pay advanced to him which must be *
liquidated within 6 months beginning
the middle o'f the month following
that in; which, he drew the money.
Consequently he and his dependents
may very well end up on a bare sub
sistence level...even with the aid of’
the Navy Relief Society, That organ
ization advises that members liquidat
ing pay advances are their "best
CUSl/UiHOI'5. " iiltJJUUUZ'S
misuse of advance pay are forced tc
rely on the tender mercy of a small
loan shark... perhaps in addition to
borrowing the limited amount available
from the Navy Relief Society. Some
membeis feel that .being able to draw
more than one months advance pay is
a reward for a job well done. Draw
ing 2 or 3 months advance pay my
very well be a way of putting yourself
in a sad financial hole that will
hinder, your ability to perform a job
well done at the next command. You .may
not .actually feel that you need all
the pay that you ask be advance but
my be under the mistaken impression
that you are "entitled*1 to draw the
advance. This is not true. Advance
Pay must be justified by good reason.
* Think ‘it over before you request
advance pay and be sure that an honest
need exists.
