Duty Section personnel. The rooms include six (6) duty officer rooms, and twelve (12) duty

CPO/enlisted rooms, accommodating up to 21 duty section personnel.

LINEN:

a. Due to the high number of duty personnel and slow turnaround time from the contract

cleaners, Air Station Cape Cod maintains large quantities of linen. These quantities,

however, are insufficient to supply more than one set of linen per watch stander, per day.

b. Each duty room will be supplied daily with a pillowcase and set of sheets for each

occupant. Duty officers will also be supplied towels. To serve weekend duty sections,

each room will be supplied with three sets of linen on Friday afternoon, so that each duty

section will have one set of linen per person, per duty day.

c. Removal or use of linen while not on duty, or use of linen not intended for your duty

section room is strictly prohibited. Such actions serve only to deprive the next section of

needed supplies. Report damage or missing linen to the MAA or JOOD.

. HOUSEKEEPING:

a. Duty personnel are responsible for the condition of their respective duty rooms. The

Aviation Watch Captain is responsible for ensuring crew duty rooms and lounges are kept

tidy, and the Senior Officer (SDO) is responsible for the same with officer duty rooms and

the wardroom.

b. Operations permitting, personnel shall make their racks (minimum of comforter and

pillow) prior to departing in the morning, and shall place used linen in the appropriate bin.

c. Problems with duty rooms should be addressed to the MAA as soon as feasible, as

inadequate sleeping facilities impact on safety of flight.
