Cheral,
Hope all is well.
I was wondering if there has been an update about the tuition fees and MOU.
Last time we spoke, you said that the fees would be paid out within the week and that the MOU has been forwarded to OPNAV N3/N5.
If funds were already wired to the MOD's account, would you be able to send me the confirmation code or tracking number so that I can confirm that the MOD received it?
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Best,
Gal

Good Morning MAJ Balas,
I would expect all three invoices (2012, 2016, and 2020) to pay out within the week. They were submitted to our accounting services on June 9th. If they haven’t been processed by Friday I’ll reach out to them and get an update.

Good morning Cheral,
Hope all is well.
We were wondering if you can give us an update on the status of the tuition fees?
Additionally, I have been trying to get in touch with the Navy Attache in Israel to sign an MOU that our MOD is requiring all militaries that send officers to the INDC to sign. I've attached the MOU here. Would you be able to help us please find the right team to be in contact with so we can make sure it is signed?
Please note that we do not expect CAPT Rob to sign the MOU himself, rather a representative from the Navy should sign for him.

Greetings MAJ Balas,
Thank you for the address information and the invoice for the U.S. Navy officer who will be attending INDC this year.
I invoices I just recently received for past U.S. Navy officers’ who attended INDC was for CAPT Marusich (2012-2013) and CDR Lembo (2016-2017). I hope with processing these two invoices along with the 2020-2012 invoice we are all caught up.
Thanks again.

The address for our MoD is 27 Kaplan St. Tel Aviv, Israel.
I have attached the invoice for the US Navy student attending the INDC this upcoming year. Are you missing any invoices belonging to the Navy's previous students?
Please let me know if yu need anything else from us.

RE: Participation of American Officer in INDC 48
Greetings Gal,
Thank you for responding. I need the physical address for MOD. I am trying to get the past invoices for only the U.S. Navy students processed for payment through the system we use. I think once Mr. Legan receives the physical address then he will have all the information necessary to submit to DFAS for payment.
The Marine Corps would not be making payments for the U.S. Navy students. Please provide future invoices for U.S. Navy Officers attending the Israel National Defense College.
Future invoices need 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 they can be processed through DFAS for payment to the school.
Thanks again.

Dear Cheral,
Thank you for reaching out.
Do you need the physical address of the MoD? Or do you need the bank account details? I'm not sure what you meant.
Additionally, it was my understanding that Col Cooper from the Marine War College is taking care of the tuition fees at the INDC for all US Military Corps. Is that not so?
Please feel free to reach out with any more questions.

I would appreciate your assistance in letting us know the correct address for the Ministry of Defence Israel listed on the tuition invoices for the Navy officers who attended the Israel National Defense College.
There is not an address on the invoices and there are multiple address found on the web. Mr. Brian Legan (copied above) our financial specialist needs this information so he can process the invoices for payment through DFAS.
Thank you.

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.

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,

Re: Participation of American Officer in INDC 48
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
