Making it iiappen: Chief Petty Officers The job means different things to different peo- ple. Every day is a new chal- lenge to be met. The diversity of the job is the most enjoy- able, according to STQC Mar- tin Rice. One of the most important things 1 do is give a lot of ad- vice to the younger people, says QMC Robert F. Williams. To BTC Rickey Dawson, it means being an honest to God leader in the U.S. Plavy. The job, of course, is being a Chief Petty Officer. Perhaps more than any oth- er paygrade in the riavy. Chief Petty Officers are relied upon to carry out command policy. Chief Petty Officers work with their division officers and department heads in guiding their respective divisions. The relationship, according to STQC Rice and BTC Daw- son, is like a hand in a glove. riot pictured in the formal photographs below are: STQCM Charles Clore, MMCM Robert B. Melvin, Jr., HMC Thomas N.

p irst assignment not always an easy one ' • % The first assignment al- most all officers receive after commissioning is as a division officer. On BOWEM, each of the ship ' s four departments — Operations, Weapons, Engi- neering and Supply — are subdivided into divisions, each with its own area of re- sponsibility. Division officer assignments range from the Disbursing Officer, who is re- sponsible for the crew ' s pay records, to the OC Division Officer, responsible for the ship ' s communication equipment, to the Second Division Officer, who is re- sponsible for the CIWS and 5 54 guns, to the Auxilia- ries Officer, responsible for the ship ' s emergency diesel engine, air conditioning and refrigeration plant, and oth- er equipment. The ship also has a navigation Adminis- tration Division Officer. Serving as the liaison be- tween the department head and the chief petty officer is not always an easy task, but it is frequently a rewarding one. 1 just can ' t say enough good things about being a di- vision officer, said E;riS Mitch Paul, Electronics Mate- rials Officer. There are a variety of pro- grams which lead to a com- mission in the Navy. The two primary ones are the United States Naval Academy and the Reserve Officer Training Corp, in which an officer re- ceives his or her commis- sion after graduation from college. Other possibilities include enlisted commis- sioning programs and Offi- cer Candidate School. ' There ' s lots of pressure to take tests and pass at the 13 week Officer Candidate School in Newport, Rhode Is- land, according to graduate ENS Greg Moses, the ship ' s Electrical Officer. In addition to equipment and spaces assigned to their divisions, division officers are concerned with a variety of administrative programs. They are also attentive to the morale of those assigned to their division, and frequently have collateral duties.
