Quick navy money questions?

This is mostly for the benefit of the other posters that don't know about Navy Cash Cards. Navy ships do not use cash for anything. Not even a soda in a machine or toothpaste in the ship's store. Ships are completely cash-less and that has virtually eliminated money being stolen from shipmate's lockers. Money is useless on a ship and no one accepts cash. You get a Navy Cash Card at your first afloat command. The Navy Cash Card is only for use on the ship. It is not accepted ashore at the NEX or other stores as a true debit card. You tie your Navy Cash Cash card to your civilian checking account and move funds onto the card from shipboard terminals (they look sort of like an ATM) to buy things at sea. You can move those funds back and forth. So when you leave the Navy or even are off the ship for a while, move the finds off your Navy Cash account and back to your civilian bank account or it will stay in the Navy Cash account. It's really easy to do this at a Navy Cash machine and there are there are Navy Cash machines all over the ship. Ashore, use your personal civilian bank debit card. There are ways you can make your Navy Cash Card work ashore like your civilian bank's ATM card, but I don't use mine that way and I don't suggest it.
