peer agreement (net): +5| wash post transfer of material accountability from one account to another >>> Explanation: WASHPOST (WP) The transfer of material accountability from one account to another within production maintenance without physically moving material through distribution. This is a paperwork transaction only in which a corresponding issue and turn-in posts as a two-legged or four-legged process -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 29 mins (2005-03-05 20:47:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- See the website, to see post-post and other similar issues. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 34 mins (2005-03-05 20:52:16 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- ...including turn-in. It is the Air Force, by the way. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs 57 mins (2005-03-06 00:14:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Here is the 1033 Program, explaining the method in a slightly different context. It makes sense, and may be helpful: \"There are three methods of screening excess property. The first is physically visiting DRMOs and looking over the excess property displayed. In the Wash Post method, DRMO assumes accountability for the item at the place where it has been declared excess, such as an Army post, and documents its release to an agency at that time.\" http://www.nlectc.org/equipment/1033.html The \"coy document\" is actually in the \"Air Force Materiel (sic) Command Instruction 21-156.\", p112. issued \"By Order of the Commander Air Force Materiel Command\", and \"Compliance with this Publication is Mandatory\". Boy, I have never seen a document more coy than that. :-O http://www.afmc.wpafb.af.mil/pdl/afmc/i/21series/21_156.pdf I could go on. I hazard a guess, that the translation is actually a \"Disposal Contract\", and the one here says, that \"The DRMOs shall accept accountability on a wash-post basis\". Which means, that the DRMS disposes by document, proxy, it actually done by one of the DMSOs,(the local arm, if you like) where the disposable item is located, and this particular DMSO is accountable for the whole caboodle. http://www.ubangs.ngb.army.mil/UBANGS/chvi.pdf.pdf And we came full circle: the transfer of material accountability, without physically moving the material. Or as Jack\'s even better link says: A methodology for transfer of accountability to the DRMO whereby the DRMO only accepts accountability at the time they also document a release from the account, through reutilization, transfer, donation, sales, or ultimate disposal.
