Motion  pictures,  however,  have  some  disad- vantages. They are expensive to produce and the subject matter often becomes outdated in a short period of time because of changes in equipment, procedures,  or  Navy  policy.  The  multimedia approach  is  an  economical  alternative. A  multimedia  slide-tape  program  can  be developed on nearly any subject and used as an effective  teaching  tool.  The  budget  for  produc- ing  a  slide-sound  program  is  modest.  The  raw material for a 10- to 15-minute production costs about  .00.  This  includes  the  price  of  the audiotape  and  the  processed  film  if  a  camera  is used.  The  equipment  is  generally  available  at every duty station. Slide-tape   packages   provide   a   very   con- venient   and   flexible   instructional   program. Slides  are  easily  stored  in  trays,  carousels, cartridges,   or   files   and   can   be   arranged   to suit  the  needs  of  the  user.  If  there  is  a  need  to update the presentation, an old slide can simply be replaced with a new one. Audiotapes and cas- settes  also  lend  themselves  to  modification  and updating by means of the erasure and re-record features  on  the  audio  machines.  The  combined visual-sound  production  can  be  packaged,  easily indexed,   and   stored   in   lockers   for   easy   ac- cessibility. Because   of   the   operational   simplicity   and portability  of  the  equipment  involved,  slide- tape  programs  lend  themselves  to  a  variety  of settings.  This  type  of  media  can  be  utilized effectively  in  a  number  of  ways,  including  in- dividualized  study  or  repeated  presentations with large and small groups of students. Audiovisual Activity Job Order, OPNAV  3160/16 The  audiovisual  activity  job  order  (OPNAV 3160/16) is the form which is usually utilized to request  audiovisual  products  and  services.  (See figure  6-8.)  While  work  orders  differ  from  place to  place,  many  of  the  entries  required  for  in- itiating  work  orders  are  the  same.  Such  entries  as work  order  number,  requester,  organization, type  of  material  needed,  amount,  and  the  due date  are  all  typical  entries.  One  of  the  single most  important  entries  on  a  work  order  is  the description of the work desired. Sufficient detail and  data  on  what  is  being  requested  should  be given.  However,  in  cases  of  multiple  aids,  such as   slides   or   illustrations,   an   entry   such   as “manufacture  per  attached  samples”  should  be placed  in  the  proper  block  and  sketches  of  the desired  work  enclosed.  A  work  order  utilizing the  audiovisual  activity  job  order,  OPNAV 3160/16,  should  be  completed  down  to  the signature  line  by  the  RP,  and  signed  by  the command   chaplain. American Forces Radio and Television Service (AFRTS) One  means  by  which  chaplains  may  convey information  to  command  personnel  is  through the American Forces Radio and Television Serv- ice  (AFRTS)  outlet.  Today  there  are  many AFRTS  stations  located  throughout  the  world and on board Navy ships and submarines at sea. Even  Antarctica,  an  international  territory,  has an  AFRTS  outlet,  and  an  AFRTS  Mini-TV outlet  serves  personnel  at  the  U.S.  Defense Attache´  Office  at  the  American  Embassy  in Moscow.  It  is  impossible  to  determine  with  any accuracy  the  size  of  the  total  AFRTS  audience at any one time, but it has been estimated to be as  large  as  1,250,000  service  personnel  and dependents   with   a   “shadow”   audience   of perhaps  20  million  people  in  the  various  host nations. The  mission  of  American  Forces  Radio  and Television   Service   is   to   provide   a   means   for rapid  dissemination  of  local  command  informa- tion;  DOD  and  service-unique  internal  informa- tion;  national  and  international  news;  sports, special events, and entertainment. This service is provided for Navy ships and submarines at sea, and DOD civilians and their dependents who are located in areas which have no adequate English language   radio   and   television   broadcasting available.  American  Forces  Radio  and  Televi- sion  Service  outlets  under  Navy  control  ashore or  at  sea  are  normally  operated  as  a  branch  of the  command  public  affairs  organization. Overseas,  AFRTS  outlets  offer  chaplains  an ideal  means  of  conveying  information  to  their respective  command  personnel.  Time  can  be 6-23
