MCCES celebrates 48th anniversary CPL. JEFF HOWELL Observation Post
The Marine Corps Communica-

Have a safe and happy holiday
BGen. James E. Livingston urges Marines, sailors and their families to remember safety in all their holiday activities. Motor vehicle related mishaps historically in- crease over holiday weekends. Make sure you wear your seat belt, don't drink and drive, and avoid fatigue, plan rest stops and adequate time for traveling to and from your destination. Enjoy your weekend, but take care and return alive and well.

Disbursing has the answers to some common pay problems
DISBURSING QEENE MCAGCC
QUESTION: How can I find out what amount was deposited into my act.t.,ant this payday?
ANSWER: You can get this information one of three ways. Number one should be your first choice.
(1) Call or contact your bank/credit union on or after payday. (2) Call our Family Services Center during normal working hours at 368-
6344/6345 on or after payday. (3) Call the Marine Corps Finance Office between the hours of 7:30 a.m.- 3:30
p.m. (local time) Monday through Friday at 1-800-645-2025.
QUESTION: Can you explain why I am no longer receiving COMRATS in my check?
ANSWER: COMRATS are paid to enlisted Marines and sailors when they are not required to eat in a mess hall or in the field. When our Marines and sailors departed the Combat Center their COMRATS should have stopped. COMRATS is a daily entitlement of $5.91 (e.g. for a 30 day month it would be $5.91 s 30 $177.30). If for some reason your COMRATS have not stopped or stopped late contact your Family Services Center at 368-6344/6345,

NEWS F E A T
Learn to read your LES Editor's Note : The information contained in this
article was taken from the Marine Corps Institute Personal Finance lesson.
Each Marine on active duty is furnished a Leave and Earnings Statement (LES) on a monthly basis. The LES gives detailed information covering the individual Marine's pay account for the previous month and provides forecasted amounts due for the paydays of the current month. Using your LES can be of great benefit when preparing a budget, but more importantly, the LES provides a detailed accounting to each Marine of his leave balance, pay entitlements and deductions, and pay received.
The LES, which is actually a printout of pay and personnel data stored in a computer at the Marine Corps Design and Programming Activity (MCCDPA) in Kansas City, Mo., is a three-part form. Each Marine receives the original (white) copy, the servicing disburs- ing officer receives the duplicate (white) copy, and the commanding officer receives the triplicate (pink) copy.
You must understand that each LES you receive covers your pay account for the previous month. The LES is usually produced and distributed by the 10th of the month. For example, an LES received Oct. 10
would cover the period Sept. I through 30; an LES received on Jan. 10 would cover the period Dec. 1
through 31, and so on. There are two common purposes for utilizing the
forecasted amounts due contained in blocks 29 and 30 of your LES. The first is to verify in advance, your next payday whether or not certain events affecting your pay account have been properly accepted by the computer, and the second is simply to determine the amount you are scheduled to be paid during the current month.
For example, assume that you are promoted to the next higher grade Sept. 1 and that you received your LES for the period Aug. 1-31 on Sept. 10. How can you determine in advance of the payday for Sept. 15 whether or not your promotion was correctly recorded and accepted by the computer? Look at blocks 29 and 30 of your August LES. Block 29 will forecast the scheduled payment for the September midmonth payday, and block 30 will forecast the scheduled payment for Oct. I. If your promotion was properly recorded and accepted by the computer, you should notice a marked increase in the amounts forecasted on your LES for the two paydays.
You can further verify that your promotion was properly effected when you receive your September LES (covering the pay forecast periods of Oct. 15 through Nov. 1) since this LES will reflect the new data resulting from your promotion. In section B, block 6, your new grade will appear. In section C, blocks 18 and 21, you will notice an increased amount of taxable income and FICA wages. In section F, many changes will have occur:ed. With a few exceptions, nearly all of your entitlements will increase, i.e., basic pay, quarters allowance, sea or foreign duty pay, variable housing allowance, etc. And since you are earning more taxable income as a result of your promotion, you will notice an increase in the amount of your state and federal income tax deductions.
Another example of utilizing blocks 29 and 30 of your LES to verify whether or not a pay action was processed in your account is as follows:
Assume that you have been receiving $225 per payday and that you are transferring to a new duty station nest month. After completing a new budget, you
have decided that you will need $300 advance pay to be
repaid in six monthly installments. You receive the advance pay on Aug. 20 which means that the repay- ment will commence in September at $50 per month ($30016 = 50). Based upon this example, what fore- casted amount should you expect to see in blocks 29 and
30 of your August LES? Remember, you had been
receiving $225 per payday. Take a moment and develop an answer. If you determined that blocks 29 and 30 should have a forecasted amount due of $200 per payday, you are correct. Repayment of the advance pay at $50 per month would be deducted over two paydays, thus your pay would be reduced by $25 per payday.
In addition to other areas of your LES, nearly all pay and certain personnel transactions processed within your account will have an effect on block 29, block 30, or both. Through practice and careful review, you should be able to utilize the information provided in these blocks to your advantage by being able to tell whether or not certain transactions have processed correctly into your account and what you can expect to receive for the next two paydays.
It is wise to carefully review gvery LES you receive. Even if nothing has occurred within the previous month
which would affect your pay, a monthly review will help
you io keep current regarding your pay and how to use
your LES. Although your disbursing officer and
commanding officer share a co-responsibility to review your LES, it is primarily your responsibility to ensure
that data contained on your LES is correct. Should you discover an error or have any questions concerning your LES, you should seek assistance at your administrative office. Normally, your disbursing officer does not immediately become involved unless assistance is
requested by your commanding officer. When making an inquiry or seeking assistance, you should have the
LES in question with you, and a specific inquiry in mind. Inquiries such ass "My pay is messed up," are
extremely difficult to respond to. Once you become accustomed to reviewing your LES, problems encoun- tered or detected should be easy to define and resolve.
In case you're wondering what to do with your LES each month after you have reviewed it and reported and
resolved any errors, you should file it in a folder with the rest of your LES's. This will provide you with a
complete and permanent record of your leave and earnings, and will be of particular assistance to you if you need to refer to your LES's at a later date.

Men and women Marines will find that replacing some uniform items now will cost up to 16 percent more. The price jump is a direct result of a change in the surcharge that the Defense Logistics Agency adds to the price of every clothing item in the military supply system. The surcharge is based on how much the government actually spends to maintain its clothing inventory.
Marines because they do not get replacement allowances which is the stated "CMA" (clothing maintenance allowance) on enlisted members' LES (Leave and Earning Statement).
Each enlisted Marine gets the CMA in a single payment each year at the end of their anniversary month. The allowance is paid at two levels: a basic rate for Marines with three or fewer years in the Corps and a standard rate for Marines with more than three years of service.
This increase will also affect those of us who buy extra items (e.g. for inspection purposes) or who wear out standard items sooner than expected.
The charts here show the rate of increase of each seabag-issued item for male and female enlisted Marines and the amount of increase in the price from previous FY90 prices:

T NE Charity Walk reminds us 'to walk is priceless'
LCPL LISA GRACIANO Observation Post
BGen. James E. Livingston, acting commanding general of the Combat Center, will participate in the Stephens 50/25 Mile Charity Walk, which will take place Oct. 13. The general will participate in the 25-mile portion of the walk.
The walk was one of the subject's of discussion at the Chief of Staffs meeting in the Commanding General's Conference Room Sept. 25.
MGySgt. Robert Bronski (ret.), sponsor/coordinator/chairman of the walk, spoke to the group. Bronski provided some background on the walk as well as information about this year's event, displaying the trophies that will be
awarded. The walk commemorates the "Walk-
ing Marines" who hiked 491 miles from San Diego to Las Vegas in 10 days during 1966 and 1967, according to Bronski. Their hikes were to call atten- tion to our country's physical fitness program and to aid those that were unable to walk due to Muscular Dystro- phy.
The Stephens 50/25 Mile Charity Walk, named after the leader of the
"Walking Marines," has grown from 6
contestants to 170. The efforts of the
contestants are to raise funds for charities that benefit the Morongo Basin.
This year is the 20th Annual Stephens 50 Mile Charity Walk and the 13th Annual Stephens 25 Mile Charity Walk. "We're expecting to have one of our biggest walks this year," Bronski said.
Awards will be presented to the first three finishers in each category of the
OBSERVATION POST 11 OCTOBER 5, 1990

50-mile and 25-mile walks. All walkers who finish will receive a certificate of completion.
In addition, a "grit award," a bronzed boot, will be given to the person who demonstrates the most fortitude, accord- ing to Bronski. Last year, an 8-year-old who finished 22 miles received the boot award.
A free awards banquet will be held, following the walk, according to Bronski. All walkers and sponsors are invited to attend. Walk contestants must pay $35 to enter the walk or find a sponsor to pay the entry fee. Its open to the public, however, here on base Marines, sailors, family members, and government employees who would like to participate may pick up application forms at the
West Gym, Bldg. 1518, 368-6857. The entry deadline is Oct. 12.

Dentalman (DN) Ron Malec and DN Mitch Paynter, 23rd Dental Co., placed first and second, respectively, in Marine Corps Air Station El Toro's "Run of the Runways" Sept. 30.
The dental assistants placed in the 18-24 age group with times of 1:24 and 1:51:48 respectively. The 13.1-mile run was
"flat and long," the wiry Malec explained. "This is the first half marathon I've ever done. I read about it
in the "Observation Post," Malec explained. "and it was kind of a whim," the 21- year -old Paynter added.
The two said they weren't racing against each other. "We were running with each other representing the 23rd Dental Co.," Malec, 19, said.
The two sailors didn't prepare much for the event. They started training about two to three weeks prior to the race. "To get ready, we never ran more than 7 miles at a time," Malec, the
Pittsburg, Penn., native said. They normally train on their own. Paynter, a Caldwell, Idaho
native, said, "I just run a couple of times a week." He runs about 5-7 miles each time.
"I just ran a Marine Corps PFT," Malec said, "And I ran the
three miles in 17:15." Malec and Paynter claim they weren't really pumped up for
the event. They said that at the last minute, they were trying to find ways to get out of it.
Apparently, their feelings changed after they completed the
race. Both dental assistants said they would like to race again.
"I'd like to run a marathon eventually," Malec said. "That's my goal," the blond-haired, blue-eyed Paynter agreed.
