Navy Orders Muncher

Navy Orders Muncher

nom, the Navy Orders Muncher, ingests CSV files containing Navy Orders and excretes database updates to the move.mil Orders API.

Usage

$ nom <csv input file>

Building

Building is easy! Once you have the dependencies, run

$ make

Dependencies

nom is written in Go. Aside from go, you will need:

• GNU Make
• dep
• curl

Acquiring and installing these is left as an exercise for the reader.

Orders number

On printed Navy Orders, the BUPERS Orders number is originally formatted as "<Order Control Number> <SSN>", for example, "3108 000-12-3456". It would be unique (because of the SSN), except that it’s possible for a set of orders to be cut on the same day 10 years later for the same sailor, resulting in a collision.

Because the BUPERS Orders Number contains PII (the SSN) and could potentially not be unique (because it only allows a single digit for the year), nom uses the Primary SDN (aka the Commercial Travel SDN) instead. For what it's worth, Marine Corps orders also use the CT SDN as the unique Orders number.

Modification number interpretation

The Orders API has a sequence number to indicate the chronology of amendments to a set of Orders. The input, however, has two modification number fields, which track the modification count from different systems. Fortunately, these two fields increment atomically, and never decrement.

Therefore, the sequence number is simply the sum of these two numbers.

Orders type

To determine the effective orders type, lookup the CIC Purpose Information Code and community (enlisted or officer) in the following table.
