Disbursing Clerk (1985-2005)

During my career in the Navy before there were travel programs available, I processed travel claims manually, computing totals by hand and typing the breakdown on the DD 1351-2. This gave me a strong knowledge of travel entitlements which translated into excellent customer assistance in being able to explain why a member received what they did. Since then I have utilized every travel program the Navy has implemented up to the current Defense Travel System (DTS).
