credited immediately to the specific appropria-
tions. Paying for the shipment of household
goods is an example of a charge which would be
financed by the NMF. The RP should know that
this fund exists even though the CRP will not be
directly involved with using this fund.
TRUST FUNDS
Trust funds are used in accordance with the
guidelines specified by an Act of Congress; or,
under the terms of a special agreement with
private contributors. Public contributions which
are received for the purpose of maintaining the
USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor,
Hawaii, shown in figure II-3-5, is an example of
a trust fund.
Another very important trust fund with
which the RP should be familiar is the fund that
receives its money from the sale of merchandise
in the ship’s store. This fund helps provide
recreation and entertainment for enlisted per-
sonnel from the profits which are accumulated
through sales of merchandise. Therefore, the RP
should purchase items in support of the CRP
from the ship’s store whenever possible. NOTE:
Later in this chapter and in Chapters 4 and 5,
nonappropriated funds and a petty cash account
will be explained. The requirements for purchas-
ing materials from other than regular supply
sources will be explained when nonappropriated
funds and the petty cash account are covered.
NONAPPROPRIATED FUND
This type of fund will be explained more
fully in Chapters 4 and 5. However, a brief ex-
planation here will show the difference between
appropriated and nonappropriated funds. A
