NOTE:  REF B'S 30-DAY RULE IS NOT APPLICABLE TO EITHER CATEGORY "B"
SHIPS OR SHIP-BASED STAFFS/OTHER UNITS.
 
7.  CONTINUOUS ENTITLEMENT TO CSP FOR SHIP-BASED STAFF MEMBERS RESTS
SOLELY WITH CONTINUING, EVERYDAY COMMITMENT OF THE STAFF COMMANDER

    A.  KEY "EMBARKED AND SERVING IN" EXPLANATION POINTS:

PERFORM THE SAME CONTINUOUS WORKDAY PRESENCE ABOARD SHIP AS THEIR
SHIP'S COMPANY COUNTERPARTS.
        (2) REF B'S "8 HOUR RULE" IMPLICITLY ACCOUNTS FOR AUTHORIZED
ABSENCES (IDENTICAL TO THE SHIP'S COMPANY MEMBER) FROM THE SHIP
DURING THE WORKDAY AS LONG AS THE MEMBER WOULD OTHERWISE REPORT TO
AND DEPART FROM A SHIP ON A DAILY BASIS.
        (3) REGARDLESS OF CATEGORY DESIGNATION, CSP HAS ALWAYS BEEN A
MEMBER VICE UIC ENTITLEMENT DRIVEN BY THE MEMBER'S PRESENCE (EITHER
PERMANENT OR TEMPORARY) WHILE "EMBARKED AND SERVING IN" A SHIP.
        (4) MEMBERS WHO ARE ASSIGNED TO A CATEGORY "A" STAFF, BUT

THE AFLOAT STAFF, HAVE NEITHER A CATEGORY "A" OR "B" ENTITLEMENT.
        (5) IF THE MEMBER WORKS ASHORE, YET IS BERTHED AFLOAT IN A
QUALIFYING SHIP, THEN MEMBER'S OVERNIGHT PRESENCE ABOARD SHIP IS
SUFFICIENT TO QUALIFY FOR THE APPROPRIATE AWARD OF CSP.

ARDUOUS NATURE INHERENT WITH WORKING/LIVING ABOARD SHIP.
        (7) REF B'S EXCEPTIONS OF THE "30-DAY" OR "OVERHAUL VICINITY"
RULES APPLY EQUALLY TO SHIP'S COMPANY OR SHIP-BASED STAFF MEMBERS.
        (8) SHORT PERIODS WHERE THE STAFF'S FLAGSHIP SORTIES FROM
HOMEPORT AND THE STAFF'S PRESENCE ABOARD WOULD OTHERWISE INHIBIT
MISSION EFFECTIVENESS OF THE STAFF IS AN APPROPRIATE APPLICATION OF
THE "30-DAY RULE."  THIS RULE SHOULD NOT BE APPLIED TO MAXIMIZE TIME
ASHORE WITH ONLY PERIODIC PRESENCE ABOARD SHIP TO ACHIEVE ENTITLEMENT
CONTINUITY.
 
8.  SHIP-BASED STAFFS AND OTHER UNITS, WHICH ARE NEITHER DESIGNATED
CATEGORY "A" OR "B," MAY QUALIFY FOR DAY-FOR-DAY CSP BY ALSO MEETING
REF B'S "EIGHT HOUR RULE."

PERMITTED AND WILL NOT BREAK THE INTENT OF "EIGHT HOUR RULE" FOR CSP
ENTITLEMENT PURPOSES.
    B.  ABBREVIATED SERVICE ABOARD SHIP THAT FALLS SHORT OF "EIGHT
HOUR RULE" IS CONSIDERED A VISIT AND CANNOT BE ACCUMULATED OR
"BANKED" TO ACHIEVE THE EQUIVLAENT OF ONE DAY'S WORTH OF CSP
ENTITLEMENT.

VERIFICATION, ALTHOUGH CUMBERSOME AND TEDIOUS TO ALL, IS NONETHELESS
NECESSARY.  REF B CLEARLY CITES NECESSARY PROCEDURES FOR
