FILING DIRECTIVES WEEKLY  ATTENDANCE STATISTICS  REPORT After  directives  have  been  received  and  routed, they  should  be  filed  according  to  consecutive  SSIC numbers  and  series  indicators.  Change  trans- mittals  are  incorporated  into  the  directives  to which  they  pertain.  Instructions,  notices,  local directives, Marine Corps orders and bulletins are all filed separately. Another rule for filing direc- tives is that they are filed in order of seniority of the   issuing   authority;   for   example,   SECNAV, OPNAV,   CINCLANTFLT,   and   so   forth. REPORTS As   significant   events   occur,   and/or   on   a periodic basis, commands throughout the Depart- ment  of  the  Navy  must  make  reports  to  higher levels of command. Reports made to seniors are a  primary  avenue  by  which  command  and control  are  administered. The  command  chaplain  must  submit  reports that   convey   information   about   the   Command Religious   Program.   The   RPC   or   RP1   will   be responsible  for  assisting  the  command  chaplain in  the  submission  of  various  reports. One  effective  way  to  ensure  that  reports are submitted in a timely manner is to establish a tickler file of reports due. This file documents the  date  the  report  is  due  to  be  submitted, the  proper  form(s)  to  be  used,  the  person responsible for signing the report, the person or activity  to  which  the  report  is  to  be  addressed,  the person(s) who are to receive a copy, and so forth. The  RPC  or  RP1  should  check  this  file  daily  to ensure that all reports are submitted for signature far  enough  in  advance  to  allow  for  corrections. The following is an example of a typical reports- due  file. REPORTS-DUE  FILE MUSTER  REPORT TO:  DIVISION  OFFICER DUE DATE: 0800 DAILY FORM  USED:  MUSTER  REPORT  -  LANTFLT  1080/1 SIGNATURE:  DIVISION  OFFICER  (DUTY  ADMIN ON  WEEKENDS  AND  HOLIDAYS) ADDRESS:  PERSONNEL  OFFICE TO:  CHAPLAIN DUE DATE: FIRST WORKING DAY OF EACH WEEK FORM  USED:  GENERAL  RECORD SIGNATURE: RPC BYRD ADDRESS:  COMMAND  CHAPLAIN QUARTERLY  STATEMENT  OF OPERATIONS AND NET WORTH TO: COMMANDING OFFICER DUE DATE: 31 DEC, 31 MAR, 30 JUN, 30 SEP EACH  YEAR FORM USED: LOCALLY PREPARED FORM SIGNATURE: RELIGIOUS OFFERINGS FUND AD- MINISTRATOR  (ORIGINAL  COPY) ADDRESS:  COMMANDING  OFFICER  (ORIGINAL COPY) COPY  TO:  CRP  FILES/COMMAND  CHAPLAIN/ RELIGIOUS OFFERINGS FUND ADMIN- ISTRATOR/RELIGIOUS  OFFERINGS FUND  SUB-ACCOUNT  CUSTODIANS/ CHAPEL  BULLETIN  BOARD As   with   all   correspondence   prepared   for signature,   the   RPC   or   RP1   should   proofread all   reports   before   submitting   them   for   signa- ture.  The  tickler  file  may  not  be  suitable  for every  situation,  but  leading  RPs  should  de- vise some method of calling attention to reports due. COMMAND   RELIGIOUS   PROGRAM (CRP)  PUBLICATIONS Ships  and  stations  throughout  the  Department of  the  Navy  usually  have  a  centralized  ad- ministrative  office  where  command  directives  and general publications are stored. The office of the chaplain  is  usually  detached  from  such  ad- ministrative offices, but publications are usually available  to  RPs  for  use  in  the  office  of  the chaplain. Information  concerning  CRP  publications  is provided in RP 3 & 2, module 3, Administration, NAVEDTRA  287-03-45-83.  It  should  be  noted that  a  copy  of  each  command  publication  need not  be  kept  in  the  office  of  the  chaplain.  However, RP staff members should have at least a general 3-8
