Other Military Activities

Official Government Organizations
Upon approval of the commanding officer,
cash sales of ship’s store stock and nondistinctive
items of clothing may be made to representatives

veniently obtained elsewhere and the normal
operation of the ship’s store is not impaired by
doing this.

A request for sale must be submitted by the

HOURS OF OPERATION
The hours of operation of the retail and
clothing store are prescribed by the commanding
officer. Consequently, they will vary from
ship to ship or on change of command. The
important thing to remember is that these
prescribed hours must be prominently posted at
all times.
Store hours of operation decals are available
on request from NAVRESSO. The decal is
pressure sensitive and is applied easily. Lettering
is brilliant gold on a blue background, hours are
interchangeable, and complete sets of different
hours are supplied with each decal for at sea and
in port.
The hours of operation should be prominently
posted and visible from the outside of the store;
usually on the door of a walk-in store or a window
of a smaller store.
