trophies, cash awards such as saving bonds,

13. Gear Locker. There are generally two types of gear
lockers used for MWR purposes in the Coast Guard. For
purposes of this Manual, they are defined as follows:
a. Recreational Gear Locker.
(1) Description: This type of gear locker will
contain sufficient equipment to support the
basic, ongoing athletic and recreational needs
of the unit. It may contain such items as
softball equipment, basketballs, picnic
equipment, etc. Normally, this type of locker
is on ships and small units.
(2) Funding: Because the primary use of the items
is for unit activities, appropriated funds are
authorized for both initial purchase and
replacement costs. Non-appropriated funds may
also be used.
(3) User Fees: Not normally charged. Individuals
use equipment on first come, first served basis,
not to interfere with unit activities.
