10 U.S.C. § 8244 — Enlisted members assigned to mess: basic allowance for subsistence paid to mess
submitted 70 years ago by ch. 1041 to r/title-10-ARMED-FORCES · 48 words · no verdicts yet
Under Navy rules, an enlisted member's food allowance can be paid straight to their mess. This applies whether the mess is on a ship or on shore. The Secretary of the Navy sets the rules for how this works.
This law lets the Navy pay* an enlisted sailor's or Marine's basic allowance for subsistence (BAS) directly to the mess that feeds them, instead of to the service member. It applies whether the mess is an officers' mess or another kind of mess, and whether it is on a ship or on shore. The Secretary of the Navy writes the regulations that control exactly how and when this payment happens.
Under such regulations as the Secretary of the Navy prescribes, the basic allowance for subsistence of enlisted members of the naval service assigned to duty with and subsisting in an officers’ or other mess, afloat or ashore, may be paid to the mess to which they are assigned.
