PREPRINTED TAGS AND LABELS
Preprinted military tags and labels must be
requisitioned from the USPS on an as-needed basis. A
PS Form 1957-C, Request for Military Tags, used to
order PS Tags 135 and 135C, (see figure 12-15), and a
PS Form 1957-D, Request for Military Labels, used to
order PS Labels 136 and 136C (see figure 12-16), must
be submitted to:
MILITARY MAIL OPERATIONS
475 L-ENFANT PLAZA SW
8TH FL RM 370
WASHINGTON DC 20260-7103
No more than a 3-month supply of tags and labels
should be requisitioned. The postal supply clerk must
make sure quantities requested are in multiples of
1,000 only. Nonreceipt of requisitions within 60 days
from submission of the requisition must be reported to
MPSA-OP. Provide a copy of the requisition when
reporting nonreceipt.
DISPOSITION OF USPS EQUIPMENT
AND SUPPLIES
Learning Objective: Recall the procedures
for properly disposing of USPS equipment and
supplies.
Capital and sensitive equipment that is not needed
by an operational MPO should be reported by naval
message to the serving JMPA for coordination of
return with the USPS. The message should identify the
equipment by description, item number, quantity, and
serial number. In addition, any available information
regarding an existing need at another shipboard MPO
or shorebased MPO should be included in the message.
This action should be coordinated with the FLTCINC
postal officer, as appropriate.
When capital or sensitive equipment is processed
according to disposition instructions received from the
appropriate JMPA, a new PS Form 1590, Supplies and
Equipment Receipt, should be completed and
submitted in duplicate to the NPFO. The NPFO will
return the original copy to relieve the COPE of
accountability for the returned item.
Non-capital and non-sensitive equipment
determined to be in excess should be reported to the
FLTCINC postal officer and disposition instructions
requested. Nonaccountable equipment transferred to
another MPO should be receipted for on the receiving
unit or installation’s property books, as appropriate,
and the command transferring the equipment should
remove it from their property book. This action is
required to ensure that proper accountability is
maintained to include property disposal actions.
All other items, such as forms, labels, tags, and
regular supply items, should be transferred to another
MPO or destroyed.
An exception to the above
procedure applies if the postal activity is located in
CONUS, in which case all excess items are returned to
the local serving post office.
When an MPO is closed or deactivated, the
procedures in the previous paragraphs apply in
disposing of all USPS capital and sensitive equipment,
DOD non-capital and non-sensitive equipment, and all
other postal supplies. A message will be provided by
the FLTCINC with specific instructions on the
disposition of locally needed supply items.
The postal officer and/or the COPE should be
aware constantly of the condition of USPS equipment
assigned to their areas of responsibility.
ORDERING POSTAL PUBLICATIONS
Learning Objective: Recall the procedures
for ordering USPS, DOD, and OPNAV
publications.
As stated earlier in this training manual, sources of
information (publications) are one of the most
important assets for the operation of any MPO. If your
MPO is not on the automatic distribution list to receive
USPS publications required to be maintained at Navy
post offices, you should submit a naval message to
MPSA, info copy to your FLTCINC Postal Officer,
requesting your command be added to the list. If your
publications become damaged or are missing pages,
then order replacement publications direct from MDC
Topeka, KS using PS Form 7380. If your MPO is
located in CONUS, you can use the TTOES method for
requisitioning replacement of USPS publications.
DOD postal publications are written by MPSA to
provide uniform administration of postal functions for
