NOTE

All four volumes of the JOAP Manual are on-line at: http://www.natec.navy.mil (alternate service sites are also

available - see the next note). Registration is required to use the site, including entering a user name and

obtaining a password for access. Be prepared to enter a Distribution Account Code (DODAC). Each installation

has a unique code. Check with the local supply representative for the correct DODAC number to use. Some

users, depending on the laboratory status (contractor, allied, etc.) may have to submit special paperwork to

NATEC to obtain access. Generally, if your e-mail address ends with ".mil", registration should be quick and

easy. Contact the trouble desk (see information below) to get help with registering on-line or inquire about any

special registration requirements. Ensure that Adobe Acrobat 5.0 or higher is used. If an upgrade is required,

use the site link for downloading the latest Adobe Acrobat version. Without at least version 5.0, all of the manuals

may not display correctly.

Then using the third entry box on the left, enter the technical order number for your service, such as 33-1-37 for

US Air Force, 17-15-50 for US Navy, or 38-301 for US Army. Do not use the "T.O" ,"NA" and "TM" prefixes or no

match will be made. Regardless of which of the three number series are used, the same manual links will be

displayed. By leaving off the "-1" or ".1", links to all four volumes and IRAC's will be seen. Click on the link for

the particular volume desired. The manuals can be saved to your computer if desired. Hint: with the mouse

pointer on the manual link, click on the right mouse button. An option will be displayed to save the file. Just

select where you want it saved on your computer. All users of the JOAP Manuals are required to check the

website at least every 30 days for possible changes. Once a volume is opened, a useful tool when looking for

a particular item is the use of "Ctrl/F". Enter the search word and all matches will be displayed.
