STOCK RECORD CARDS
Without stock record cards, it would be impossible to maintain adequate stocks of material necessary for the operation of the medical department of a ship. Procurement of stock must be based on the information contained on the stock record cards.
The two stock record cards most commonly used in recording usage data are the Stock Record Card, Afloat, NAVSUP 1114, and the Stock Record Card, NAVSUP 766. Maintain stock records for all items of stocked material.
