Entry Controller Log
An EC log contains documented reports of any unusual or suspicious incidents that occur while performing EC duty. Write incidents in the EC log, regardless of the location of the EC duty. Failure to properly report and document all incidents may result in disciplinary action. Make verbal reports to the next EC, your flight, MTI and CQ.
The following items are standard entries for the log:
- Hourly accountability checks – annotate the number of trainees assigned, present and missing; to include the reason why each trainee is missing
- All intercom messages pertaining to your dormitory, flight and MTI
- Dormitory temperature checks – annotate the time and temperature
- Serious accident or sickness of a trainee – annotate time, trainee’s name, accident or sickness and actions taken
- Fire, gas leak or bomb threat – actual or drill
- Unsecured security drawer
- If you are unable to lock the drawer, leave it closed, notify your MTI, brief the oncoming EC and annotate the EC Log
- If you find unsecured valuables (e.g., money or jewelry), notify your MTI. If your MTI is not present, put the valuables in a secure location (e.g., flight office or personal security drawer) and annotate the EC Log
BMT Form 118, Entry Controller Checklist
The Entry Controller Checklist provides a detailed list of times to check the dormitory, to include documenting security, fire prevention and conservation checks. Annotate the BMT Form 118 for 6 consecutive days. Place one extra blank form in the Entry Controller binder.
When assuming duty, both ECs will use a blue or black ink pen to neatly print the initial of your first name and your entire last name in the name block, without using punctuation (Fig. 14-2). Temporary ECs (covered later in this chapter) will print the initial of your first name and your entire last name under the original ECs’ names in the appropriate “Name” block.
If an original EC leaves and returns before the end of the scheduled shift, print the initial of your first name and entire last name under the Temporary EC name, and complete the shift. ECs that complete security checks will print the initial of your first and last name in the hourly security check blocks when check is complete. Finally, you will place an “X” in the latrine check and dormitory locked blocks when completed.
Keep all writing inside the appropriate block, DO NOT use punctuation and DO NOT make any stray marks on the form.
