POOW/OOD

Check all ID’s before granting permission to board or debark. This rule is relaxed for the Commanding Officer ONLY. POOW is responsible for Quarterdeck cleanliness. Business should not be conducted on the Quarterdeck. Quarterdeck colors may be cased when painting. In the event you feel the need to take a second look at any uniform or civilian clothing because it looks out of place or wrong, it probably is. Contact the Section Leader for further guidance. If you know it to be out of standards order the deficiency corrected on the spot with instructions to return to the Quarterdeck to verify compliance.
