MAYPORT, Fla (NNS) -- Naval Station Mayport Personnel Support Detachment (PSD) is phasing out the field service record (FSR).

"We have over 9,000 records here at PSD Mayport from 96 commands and 21 warships," said Al Iannacone Sr. the director of PSD Mayport. "We are preparing the records and then electronically submitting them to NPC (Navy Personnel Command)."

The process of eliminating the records involves pulling important documents for scanning and shredding others.

Iannacone said that they are not shredding records, the only information being shredded are items used during enlistment that may have third-party information on them like a recruiter's social security number.

The PSD director also said that it takes a lot of work to get all this done.

"We have hand-picked teams working in two shifts throughout the day to accomplish all of this," said Iannacone.

Once the records are processed and all the required documents have been submitted and accepted, the paper records will be returned to the Command Pass coordinators who will distribute them back to the servicemember said Scott Burger, who is in charge of eliminating the FSR's for PSD Mayport.

"The Sailors should retain their FSR's and keep them for posterity," said Burger.

Burger said all Sailors will be able to view documents submitted to their Official Military Personnel File by going to BUPERS online and clicking on their Web Enabled Record Review.

PSD Mayport is expected to finish with elimination of FSRs by April 11.
