S-4 Division

Although one of the smallest divisions, Disbursing is probably the most popular "personal services" office of the ship.  Disbursing personnel maintain approximately 1,000 pay records for the officers and enlisted men of Oklahoma City, Commander SEVENTH Fleet and his embarked staff, the Marine Detachment and occassional TAD personnel.
On a normal payday the paymasters distribute some $230,000.  But pay is not their only service.  These "bankers of the fleet" also take care of per diem, dependents travel claims, TLA, allotments and a host of other things which affect the sailor's pocketbook.
