A

….Conventional Ordnance Discrepancy Report(CODR)

22
Q

A

Oxidizing Compounds

ie. chlorates

23
Q

(PYRO) a posted symbol should be situated so it is visible during daylight from a distance of ________ feet.

A

500 feet

24
Q

A

All exit doors shall be so marked and shall be unobstructed at all times.

  • exit doors in buildings containing explosives , except storage magazines, shall be:
    1) hollow metal doors
    2) 3ft. wide
    3) 6ft. 8in. high
    4) quick opening “panic” hardware
25
Q

(NAVSEA OP 5) what is the most important factor in prevention of fire?

A

Cleanliness

26
Q

(NAVSEA OP 5) what storage code is used for pyro?

A

Group C (contains white phosphorous)

27
Q

(PYRO) how is the LOT # AMC 85 D 018 124 B read?

A

AMC 85 D 018 124 B

AMC = manufacturer

85 = year

D = month

018 = LOT index #

124 = LOT sequence #

B = ammunition LOT suffix

28
Q

Recovery of MK58 & MK25’s.

(CGTTP_3-30.2A_Ordnance_TTP) P.93

A
  • MK58’s & MK25’s contain phosphorous. When these items dry, any residual phosphorous ignites when exposed to air. Wet phosphorous is relatively stable, so keep the item wet.
  • Once recovered, keep the item outside and submerged in water until EOD can retrieve the item for disposal.
29
Q

(PYRO) Emergency Jettison at Sea

(CGTTP_3-30.2A_Ordnance_TTP) P.90

A
  • Jettison at least 12 nautical miles (NM) from land in water depth of 500 fathoms.
  • 1 Fathom = 6 feet(apprx. 1.8m)
30
Q

Pyrotechnic Storage

(CGTTP_3-30.2A_Ordnance_TTP) P.77

A
  • Because SAR vests and boat boxes carry pyrotechnic items, they tend to retain moisture. Wipe down or air-dry pyrotechnics before securing in a ready service locker or magazine. Lack of air movement in the RSL or magazine accelerates pyrotechnic deterioration. Never store pyrotechnics in berthing areas.
  • The Coast Guard follows the “first-in, first-out” policy for expending munitions items.
31
Q

(PYRO) Temperature Recording

(CGTTP_3-30.2A_Ordnance_TTP) P.77

(Physical Security and Force Protection Program)

CIM_5530_1C P.65

A

When keys are not in use, they shall be secured in repository containers of at least 20-gauge steel or material of equivalent strength. Key repositories
shall be attached to the structure to prevent easy removal and located in buildings or rooms with structural features which forestall illegal entry. Key repositories shall be located so that they are under the surveillance of operating personnel during duty hours. During non-duty hours, the building shall be locked with both locksets and deadbolts of commercial grade. Deadbolts shall have a minimum of an one-inch throw.

33
