ASM ISSUES

  works.
• ASM Discs

  to Keyport. QA them!
• If Marines come with a disc, they need a paper
  copy of their Qual/Cert and previous 180 day
  training, not happening!
• Discrepancies and missing scans has led to
  creation of temporary MATMEPs to pass QA
  inspections.
• Working through issues with lack of
  administrators.
• Ordnance Handlers Physical/Explosive Drivers
  Physical Cards, audiograms. Dont depend on ASM
  for these certs.
