Gal,

 

Per your info I have forwarded the invoice to the services. (LtCol Smith will best know who the Marine POC is).

 

The Navy POC wanted more specific info, below. I thought most of it was in your invoice but I am not certain. I would recommend connecting directly to the appropriate office if possible. We will assist where we can to get you to the right POCs.

 

Best regards and see you soon!

 

v/r,

Col D

Greeting Col DeStazio,

 

Thank you for the POC information for the invoices we already have. 

 

It would be great if all the necessary information was included on future invoices.

 

The invoice needs to be in English and include the following information: invoice number, school’s information (name, address, point of contact), name of the U.S. Navy Officer attending, dates of attendance, banking wire-transfer information (name of bank, address, account name, account number, ABA routing number, and SWIFT code), and Federal Employer ID Number (if applicable) so that it can be processed through DFAS for payment to the school.

                                                                                                           

Thanks again.

 

 

V/r,

Cheral,

 

Wanted to make sure you had the POC info I have for payment, for those who need the info. Major Balas can also provide an invoice for the upcoming year for CAPT Sinram.

Greetings Col DeStazio,

 

It appears that these invoices were not provided to us for payment of the tuition of our Navy officers, CDR James Lembo who attended from Jun 2016 – Jun 2017 and CDR Nicolas Marusich who attended from Jun 2012 – Jun 2013.

 

Our finance office will need an invoice for the tuition expenses for CAPT Rob Sinram for the upcoming course.

 

I will let you know if our finance office needs any additional information (did not notice a poc on the invoice) to process for payment through DFAS for these outstanding invoices for the two Navy officers.

 

Thank you.

 

 

V/r,

Cheral

Team Navy,

Attached are bills related to INDC participation and tuition from the Ministry of Defense, Government of Israel. I noticed in here a bill for Jim Lembo, who attended from 2016-2017. Are you able to follow-up on these? If not, do you know who would be able to? (Marine and Air Force bills have been forwarded to those Departments.)

 

Thanks,

JMD

Dear Marty,

 

Thank you for the officers' information. I'll pass it on to the MOD to start preparing for their hopeful arrival.

 

 

Regarding the tuition fees – I've had the chance to talk to most of the attaches regarding this matter. According to the MOD there is an accumulating sum owed by foreign militaries for sending officers to the INDC. I've attached invoices for the years in which there are outstanding tuition fees due  to the MOD, including the year of 2019-2020.

 

Unfortunately, the MOD will no longer allow accept officers to the INDC before the fees are paid or a written commitment to payment is provided. Our goal is to collect previous years' fees by the end of this month. By the end of June the MOD would like to have this year's tuition fee.

 

I kindly ask for your assistance in this matter and in forwarding the invoices to the proper contacts.

 

 

Best,

Gal
