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.
