But self righteous higher headquarters have not pushed permissions down to the lowest level they can so they can treat quarters like manhole covers. I've seen delinquent GTC lists expand exponentially because some lazy mil-tech can't click the approve button within 60 days of the entry of a voucher.Response by CSM David Heidke made May 17 at 2016 2:47 PM2016-05-17T14:47:03-04:002016-05-17T14:47:03-04:001SG Jeffrey Grice1537511<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Below is what I have been using, might need to look at the portion in the links provided below referencing JFTR/JTR U4000, Item 3b/C4405, Item 3b since the JFTR no longer is used (only the JTR).<br /><br />"Objective cannot be satisfactorily accomplished less expensively by correspondence, teleconferencing, web-based communications, or other appropriate means IAW SECDEF memo dated 14Mar2011, Track Four Efficiency Initiative Decisions."Response by 1SG Jeffrey Grice made May 17 at 2016 4:58 PM2016-05-17T16:58:00-04:002016-05-17T16:58:00-04:00CPT Joseph K Murdock1537558<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>When I ran a budget shop, I created a users SOP and sent it out to the units. That minimized calls.
