from the sum of the opening inventory and the total
receipts during the month; for example:
Opening inventory value . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$50.00
Plus value of receipts . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . +410.00
Total . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
460.00
Minus value of closing inventory . . . . . . . . . . .-40.00
Value of provisions consumed . . . . . . . . . . . .420.00
COMPARISON
Multiply the value of provisions consumed by the
enlisted personnel meal percentage and compare the
product with the value of the total commuted rations.
The amount payable to the mess is the lesser of the two
amounts; for example:
Provisions consumed . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$420.00
Enlisted personnel meal percentage . . . . . . . . . . . x33.9%
1. Cost of provisions for enlisted personnel ...$142.38
2. Enlisted total commuted rations value . . . . $214.42
Thus, the lesser amount of 1 and 2 is ($142.38 in
this case) paid to the mess treasurer by the disbursing
officer.
COMPUTATION OF A PARTIAL MESS BILL
FOR A NEW MEMBER BEING
PERMANENTLY ASSIGNED
Members are charged for the day they report aboard
unless reporting after 1800. Multiply the actual number
of inclusive days for which a mess bill is payable (all
days of the month that the member is aboard including
the 31st day, when applicable) by the month’s mess bill,
then divide by the actual number of days in the month
and round off to the nearest cent; for example:
Member reports for duty at 0900 12 August.
Mess bill for August is $45.00.
Inclusive dates chargeable: 12-31 August (20 days).
20 x $45.00 = $900.00.
= $29.03 (charge due plus September’s
mess share).
MESS BILL REBATE FOR MEMBER
BEING PERMANETLY DETACHED
Members are not charged for the day
unless they depart after 1800; for example:
they depart
Member being detached at 1200 22 April.
Mess bill for April is $42.00, which the member
paid on 3/30.
Inclusive dates not chargeable: 22-30 April (9
days).
9 x $42.00 = $378.00.
$378.00
$378.00
30
= $12.60 (rebate due)
To summarize rebate rules from previous
paragraphs, there is no charge for the day of departure
if the member leaves before 1800 and no charge for the
day a member arrives if he or she arrives after 1800.
Otherwise either day is charged.
MESS BILL REBATE FOR MEMBER ON
TAD
Compute the actual mess bill rebate by determining
the inclusive number of days the member is not eating
in the mess; for example:
Member goes on TAD at 0800 on 5 February to 1630
on 9 February.
Mess bill for February is $47.00, which member
paid on 1/30.
Inclusive dates not chargeable: 5 through 8
February (4 days).
4 x $47.00 = $188.00.
$188.00
28
= $6.714 = $6.71 (rebate due).
No mess share rebate is given for 9 February since
the member has returned to the mess before the
the evening meal (1800).
MESS BILL REBATE FOR MEMBER ON
LEAVE
time of
The day of departure on leave is counted as a day of
duty. However, for mess purposes this day is the first
day of absence if the member does not eat any meals in
the mess on that day. If a member returns before 1800,
the day before the day of return is the last day of the
3-16
