8.6 Deliver Photos or Video via Messenger
Sometimes the internet will not be working, but you still need to deliver your
photos or video to a customer.
a. Save the photos onto a USB thumb drive (also called flash or pen drives)
and send that to the customer. Since the price of these devices is so low,
you should consider keeping a couple 2G thumb drives for this purpose.
If the customer doesn’t return them, you can claim them as an expense
under “Comm/Other Cost Claimed” on the CAPF 108.
b. If you have a working computer with a burner, you can burn the
photos/video onto a thumb drive, CD or DVD. If you don’t have a working
computer, many stores have easy-to-use kiosks that will burn your digital
photos onto a CD.
c. For video, if you have a working computer and the necessary software
you can transfer the video onto the computer and then transfer the video
onto a large thumb drive or burn it onto a CD or DVD. However, not all
bases have this capability.
In this case you will probably have to take the video camera to the customer.
Just sending the video tape may not work, as the customer may not have the
capability to display the type of media your camera uses.
