Little did they know that this would be the ,,,lL1, beginning of The Unexpected Cruise . The crew came on board prepared fora 2 day underway period , in the VA Capes, but instead they were instructed to muster with , their respective divisions. STAND BY FOR A MESSAGE FROM THE CAPTAIN When the announcement came there was a great mixture of feelings among the crew. Captain Mobley explained that the ship would not be getting underway today. This left many elated, until the other shoe dropped. The USS DETROIT was experiencing - 3 I . a major engineering casualty, therefore KALAIVIAZOO was on 3 stand by to cover her up coming Mediterranean Deployment. For the next 2 days KALAMAZOO's crew went home very anxious. They did not know what the next day would bring. The decision had not yet come down from above. Q, lg' DING DING, DING DING, DING DING. SURFLANT ARRIVING. The Admiral was only on board KALAMAZOO for about I5 minutes, but that was long enough to drop the egg. UNDERWAY, SHIFT COLORS. MED l-89. With only I6 days notice the men of KALAMAZOO got it together. Clnformed their families, grabbed every supply on naval base that wasn't nailed down, topped off with fuel. said our goodbyes and were gone.J 30 December found us pulling out from Norfolk heading for the Med. The transit to the Med was extremely busy. Almost 40 unreps, many hours of flight quarters. New Year's Eve found us on the road. LIBERTY CALL, LIBERTY CALL The KZOO was 30 days into the Med Cruise before she saw her first port. She pulled into Naples. Italy on 27 JAN. The crew was very impressed by the tours to Rome and Pompeii. Jan 31 found KALAIVIAZOO underway again. The ship made the transit from Naples, to Marseilles. France. The KZOO arrived in Marseilles on February 3rd and stayed until February l5. It was nice spending Valentines day in the land of love. From Marseilles KALAMAZOO headed to the birthplace of man, the Middle East. We arrived in Alexandria, Egypt on February 24th and stayed until the 26th. Getting to see the Sphinx and pyramids gave the ZOO crew a real feel for history. From Alexandria it was off to Marseilles again with a short stop in Souda Bay. Crete for fuel. KALAIVIAZOO arrived back in Marseilles on ST Patrick's Day. There was a scramble for green food coloring so that the day could be celebrated in with green beer. Underway again on March 30th so that hump day lApril lj was celebrated underway. Then arriving in San Remo, Italy tpart of the Italian Rivieral on the 4th of April. The first few days there saw the crew stuck on board due to rough seas preventing the liberty boats from carrying them to the beach and back safely. Once the weather cleared it was agreed that San Remo had been worth the wait. May 5th found KALAMAZOO pulling into Souda Bay, Crete once again after 25 days underway. This time liberty was granted. Crete tone of the Greek lslandsl turned out to be a real hidden treasure. The people, the food, and the shopping were about the best of the cruise. From Souda Bay it was off to Golcuk. Turkey. Golcuk offered gold, leather, tea. and some interesting alcohol and liqueur. It was a time for some needed repairs looking ahead to the fast approaching outchop OPPE tOperational Propulsion Plant Evaluationj. From Golcuk we pointed our nose west and never looked back. One last stop in Augusta Bay, Sicily for fuel and supplies. A blue water turn over with USS IVIONONGAHELA and KALAMAZOO was ready to pass through the straits ofGibralter. Next stop for KALAMA- ZOO was Rota, Spain. KALAMAZOO's one day stay in Rota was spent very much with OPPE on the mind. Unfortunately, Mr. Murphy and the gremlin's decided to double team the faithful crew. GENERAL QUARTERS. GENERAL QUARTERS, THIS IS NOT A DRILL The ship was called to General Quarters early in the morning. There was an actual casualty in the engine room. A section of pipe carrying oil had ruptured releasing a large quantity of combustible liquid into the main space and this was on the very day OPPE was to come on board. The result was a postponement of the OPPE until the day before we pulled into Norfolk. Reflecting back it was a wonderful time for growing for many of the crew. For all it was a time to learn more about our world and just how small it is. 3 Length .... 659 feet 96 fe Beam ...... -- e t Draft ................ ' -' 3 6 feet 37 000t Displacement ,.....

USS KALAMA- ZOO currently has l7 Storekeepers fSKsJ assigned. These salt--of-the-earth , hard working, loyal, red, white, and blue United Stated Navy Sailors, are responsi- ble for logistics management of the ship's and fleets assets. lt is hopeful that the in- formation provided will give you the big picture of your all-American blue jack- et logisticians. The storekeepers of the supply office are responsible for the ship's budget. This is no small thing considering the ship's bud- get for fiscal year '89 was Sl,504,984.70. During the cruise the SKS ofthe Supply Of- fice processed 5,675 requisitionsg handled approximately 27.000 messages, letters and bills. Needless to say they were kept ex- tremely busy. The Supply Support Center for GSKJ is responsible for the day-to-day manage- ment of over 68,000 parts and consumable type materials that are necessary to keep the ship running. Literally everything from A fanimal by products, like glovesl to Z las in Zincoxidej. The SKs of GSK processed 5,687 receipts, made 7,990 issuesg and completed 963 technical cus- tomer assists. When Ace hardware Corp was looking for the perfect Helpful Hardware Man they took lessons from these highly qualified, courteous, Logistics Technicians. The Storekeepers assigned tothe cargo section of S-l are the guys that fulfill the ship's mission of providing quality food and fuel to the fleet. The KALAMAZUO carries 7.2 million gallons of bulk petro- leum fi.e. diesel and jet turbine fuelsj. ln an average month the KZOO pumped l2,424,595 gallons, with over 6.3 million gallons going to other ships in 6th fleet, The Cargo Rats are the final group of KZOO's expert logistics personnel. These round the clock sailors handled an average of 250 measurement tons of food and supplies every month. fWho invited the in-laws to dinner'? J ln so doing they have kept the sixth fleet Hready for sea ! These stores are moved via either vertical replen- ishment fvertrepl or connected replenish- ment fconrepj. Nobody moved fleet freight and stores better than these amazing swab- bies. You can see by the quantity of cargo and fuel handled, the KALAlVIAZOO's cargo section has learned the meaning of the phrase Texas Big . ln case you didn't notice these sailors are THE WORLD'S GREATEST! s-l division QSKJ I9 The food service division is the largest division in the Supply Department.

Sales Division consists of the vending ma- chines. the Ship's Store. the barber shop. and laundry. This division is manned by 10 ship's ser- vicemen fSH'sJ. These are the guys who make these metal bulkheads homey. The figures shown below are evidence that these were some busy sailors during the cruise. The Ship's Store was a bustling place: a meeting ground for people on break, a source of nourishment for the hungry, and a vacuum for people with money to spend. When the cruise be- gan. there were over 800 different products. or line-items to buy. The store made over S225,000.00 in sales during the cruiseg an aver- age of 5535.00 per person. Both good deals and necessities were available and taken advantage of: for example, nearly 15.000 packs of Marl- boro's were sold, as were over l00 boom boxes.

Vending machines broke records high and low - low records because of l 50,600 cans ofsoda were sold during the cruise. or almost I5 eases of soda per crew member. And. for the informa- tion of all, more coke was sold than pepsi. Laundry put through more clothes than a Turkish textile factory. to the tune of 102.000 pounds. or 52 tons! lfevery man aboard changed his skivvies everyday. then laundry washed 76.440 pairs of skivvies. The ship's laundry is a large scale operation involving many steps and a lot of cooperation with other departments. A- gang worked real hard to keep the machines in working order. The process of doing laundry is quite involved: for example. whites are washed ,any , Q45 P V 4 .4 ,,,, 1 using five different chemicals. all added at dif- ferent times. Somday maybe the Navy will dis- cover All Tempa-Cheer. Also. over 7.000 shirts were pressed. over 5.000 pairs ofpants. and plen- ty of dress uniforms. Records keeping for all these activities takes two full-time people. With two people in the Sales Office. one person cash collecting. one person filling the vending machines. four in the laundry, two in the barbershop. two on flight quarters. one in the ship's store and one in the bulk store room. the ten SH's were spread pretty thin. Nonetheless. they came through the cruise with flying colors and the highest profit to turn over to Welfare and Recreation ever. qimpyr sales division s-3 ll DI B RSI S-4 Money and accounting, payday and ship's bills - that's how the three disbursing clerks QDK'sJ spent the bulk of Med '89, The sailors in S-4 have callouses on their fingers tougher than Chuck Berry's from punching adding machines and typewriters all day. Giv- ing some statistics from the office will give an idea of what is happening when the door is closed and no one is cashing checks. Speaking of cashing checks, the office cashed Sl,305,000.00 worth of checks during the deployment - an average of 3,107.00 per person! Now folks at home can ask what they did with all that money. Disbursing didn'tjust give out good old American Greenbacks: over S242,000.00 worth of play money was sold to the crew in the form ofGreek Drachmas, Tur- kish Lira, Spanish Pesetas, Italian Lira, and French Francs. DK's were the only ones who took all the zeros on the Turkish Lira serious- ly.' And did the crew make enough money to support these wild spending habits? They sure did - the office paid out Sl,577,000,00 in checks and cash. Of course most of this went home in the form of money orders tothe lovely wives and families right? The U.S. Treasury knew the KALAMAZOO was spending. Over S2,l25,000.00 worth of Trea- sury Checks were issued. No wonder they won't trust us with credit cards! Very few people come and go from the ship without Disbursing knowing about it. Over 370 travel claims were processed - an- other S40,000.00 spent in moving fine Navy personnel around the world. Every time the ship travelled from port to port, disbursing got involved. Nearly Sl75,000.00 was paid in ship's bills. Each bill paid effected at least eight documents and will ultimately be re- ported to at least six different government agencies. This was definitely not a Budget Cruise for the U.S. Navy! And, last but not least, each DK an- swered l0 to the 73rd power questions, or one question for each atom in the universe, about the Navy's wonderfully complicated pay sys- tem. 22 disbufsing s-4 15- l l I ky , i i NF K , i In t F' l , 2 l I ' l f- if f fm- il l k1 X ,. my. 1 E i , I 1. yWEAPoNs DI q M .

IIC Weapons Division is comprised of the Gunners Mates lGunsJ, or GMG rating. There are I0 gunners assigned to KALA- MAZOO. and they are responsible for the storage, handling. and transfer of KALA- MAZOO's cargo ammunition. lt's a big job: we can store up to i000 tons of bombs. mis- siles, torpedoes, and assorted small arms in our five magazines. That's enough to arm an entire carrier battle group. WEPS Division maintains the ship's Ar- mour. which consists of machine guns, shot- guns, rifles, and pistols - enough to stop even Rambo. WEPS is the mainstay for shipboard se- curity. We train all personnel into people of 007 caliber. They learn the firing and han- dling ofsmall arms as well as tactics to defend the ship against armed terrorist attack, and obnoxious tourist. WEPS division handles all ammo admin- istration. The Navy is more concerned about who has ammo and weapons than the NRA seems to beg we maintain precise tracking and accounting for every type of ammo on board. down to the last bullet and spec ofgunpowder. WEPS personnel shoot lines to all cus- tomer ships alongside. We initiate the action so that the KZOO can perform her mission. An M-14 rifle is used to shoot a two pound projectile across to the waiting ship. We have shot lines to ships 500 times this deployment, and we never even hit anyone! WEPS is a really busy division before an ammo transfer. We stage all the required ammo ahead of time ffor the most part, there's always a last minute request to throw a wrench into our flawless operationj. This means putting the bombs on pallets, encasing and banding the missiles and pallets, and sort- ing the requirements for each ship. Gunners then move the ammo using fork trucks. The ammo is transferred to customer ships via car- go station or helicopter. This is very exciting in heavy seas with pitching, rolling decksg we can't afford anyone dropping the bombs . WEPS division maintains and uses over 20 different types of steel sling and pennants used for ammo transfer. Slings encase the ammo itselfand can carry up to 6000 pounds. Pennants attach the sling to the bottom of hel- icopters for vertrep . Choosing which sling to fit the right ammo is an art which all had a chance to practice this deployment, as we have moved 700 tons of ammo! You can be proud of your men in the Weapons divisiong they've met every require- ment for ammo with superior results and with the highest praise possible from their custom- ers! weapons division 23 GI EERI G DEPT.

What we do: Boiler Technicians - BT's op- erate, maintain, and repair the ship's main propulsion boilers. These boilers generate super heated steam to turn the twin propel- lers and to operate our engineering auxilia- ry machinery, such as: main feed pumps, fire pumps, steam reducing stations, forced draft blowers. emergency feed X transfer pumps, and per day distilling plant. BT's also maintain and operate this vast array of auxiliary machinery, as well as all manner for heating. cooking, laundry, and maintain the evaporator distilling plant which makes -10.000 gallons of pure water per day for use as boiler feed water, and potable tdrinkingl water. We chemically test and treat every drop of water coming from aboard this ves- sel to determine its suitability for use ti.e.. fresh or feedl. We chemically test and treat water inside the boiler to prevent the trc- mendous pressures, temperatures. and im- purities from damaging the boiler tubes. BTs assure the quality ofall our fuel oil and lubricating oil. and maintain a current. up- as! -,iv of piping and valves. We make the steam to-the-minute inventory of it's liquid load.

The electrical safety shop is responsible for the maintenance of portable electric tools such as drills, grinders, etc. They also do periodic safety checks of personal gear such as radios and walkmans. The electrical shop is re- sponsible for making sure all electrical equipment is operating in an efficient manner. They also en- sure that electrical power is readily available in all necessary spaces. They do preventive mainte- nance on various electrical equipment such as gal- ley equipment, l00 kilowatt motor generators as well as many motors and controllers. The IC f Gyro shop is responsible for the tele- phone system we have on board, both in port and out at sea. They also maintain all sound-powered phones in all required spaces, and do preventive maintenance on the ship's emergency batteries, for when electrical power goes out. In addition, E-Division supplies one person for flight quarters, as well as having an IC men on the main deck during underway replenishment detail, and man the IC f Gyro room while the ship is underway or at auxiliary steaming in port.

Radio Central is responsible to ensure that this is possible. We arc the only division onboard that has not closed up shop since getting underway on the 30th of December, l988. During inport periods liberty has been made possible by each watch section standing one 24 hour watch. That is why we sometimes look like Walk- ing Zombies . Whether you want to talk to another ship on the ho- rizon or on the other side of the world, send a message back to the States, or find out the latest sports scores, you will find yourself using the services of Radio Cen- tral . During the MED CRUISE l-89 Radio has processed over 100,000 incoming messages, sent an addi- tional 6,5O0 plus messages, made over 584,916 copies and has maintained reliable communications on up to 13 circuits simultaneously with the capability to access over 70 different frequencies almost instantaneously, and an almost infinite number within minutes. So the next time you need something, just dial 7169, We're Always Home . Eng Gmmkl communications loci 31 l i 1 NAVIGATIO The Navigation Division is the principle work force at the disposal ofthe Officer of the Deck for the safe navigation of the ship. Whether the ship is piloting in restricted waters. or in the open seas with other Navy units. the Navigation Division is on the job. Recently reorganized to include the Signalmen, the bridge team is now more capable of support- ing the command. This one two punch consists of the Quar- termasters guiding the ship to its appointed place and time and the Signalmen carrying out their duties of visual com- munications which are often times the only comniuniqations used in alongside operations. The team effort of the Quarter- masters and Signalmen has allowed the ship to meet every commitment on time, every time. '45 I know there has to be a McDonald's out there . 32 navigation COND .IA iw 'WM 4l OE DI OE Division is divided into 4 distinct work centers. OEOI. thc ET's, Many of us don't see the ET's often, as they frequently find themselves elbow deep in a transmit- ter or receiver hidden in radio central. Or, they could be found weather proofing antenna connections at the very top ofthe main mast, ensuring trouble-free communications dur- ing execution of KALAMAZOOE busy schedule. They can be found after hours operation and maintaining the ship's MARS Radio Station, allowing quick contact with a loved one in an emergency. or maybe just say Hello . OEO2 is the work center containing the FC's tFire Con- trol Techniciansj who are responsible for the funny looking, R2D2, gun mounts up forward. This is CIWS fClose In Weapons Systemj. This extremely complex piece of machin- ery requires expertise in electronics, electro-mechanics, ro- botics, and hydraulics. With a team of highly skilled techni- cians, down time is kept to a minimum. Firing 3000 rounds of armor piercing ammo per minute it easily accomplishes its task of eliminating the threat of ISIO anti-ship missiles. Next is TAS fthe Target Aquisition System MK-237. This belongs to OEO3. lt is a highly sophisticated, computer controlled air search radar, designed to detect. track, and en- gage up to 63 threats simultaneously. lt is equipped with a signal processing circuitry to enable operation in high-clutter environments. lt is used on KALAMAZOO as the designa- tion source for the NATO Seasparrow Missle System. This brings us to OEOA the NATO Seasparrow Missle System. This is a short range surface to air missile system. lt can engage surface targets but is used primarily for anti- air craft warfare. lt's launcher contains eight RlM7M mis- siles with track-on-jam capabilities and blast fragmentation warheads. Two fire control radars are used to provide full coverage of KALAMAZOO' s sector, and state of the art signal processing ensures discrimination against false tar- gets. The systems and it's technicians are prepared to protect KALAMAZOO in it's role as a FAST ATTACK, COM- BAT OILER. 'Q . . A 4 'W .1 4 - .

Many times the safety of the ship is depen- dent on an OS's recommendations. Setting up events with other ships inthe battle group to piloting the ship through low - visibility radar navi- gation, the OS's do a little of everything and have earned the right to be called Specialists. The second half of ClC's deadly team is the Electronic Warfare Technicians fEW'sJ. ln the science of modern warfare the role of the Electronic Warfare Technician is continuously increasing onboard KALAMAZOO, and by countering modern weapons meant to be used against us. Electronic warfare is an evolving and complex field and one which KALAMAZOO's EW's are dedicated to mastering. 34 oi P- Q11 ' .T I DIVISION OFFICER LTJG BRUNSMAN A.

Each sailor onboard USS ILALAMA- ZOO will, at one time or another, come in contact with the personnel of Admin. The department is responsible for pub- lishing the Plan of the Day, maintenance of all service rec- ords. ship's correspondence and files, maintaining order and discipline, providing postal services and advising and counsel- ing crew members regarding their Navy careers. During extended deployments the Personnel Office has the additional task of routinely transferring personnel state- side and assisting Mediterranean control points in making sure KALAMAZOO bound personnel and the KALAMA- ZOO are in the same geographic area at the same time. Quite the job when you must deal with airline schedules and rapidly changing operating schedules. With such diverse jobs and their attendant frustrations the Senior Chief, Master Chief, Admin Officer, and XO face the daily challenges of keeping the department on course. Of major interest to the Commanding Officer and Exec- utive Officer is the crew morale and keeping families advised of current events aboard the KALAMAZOO. Little recognized the Admin Department performs a vi- tal job that affects every member of the crew. 1.-ff' 9 3? ffm-'tw c 35 v of' 2--ee at i 36 admin fynfpnl ,N Ya e .I 1 .T . . 5 ,E 'I' 'z' Ni UL af ,Q wf.

From its earliest days Chaplains have been riding Navy ships and although the role of the chaplain has changed somewhat through the years, there is one silver thread that runs through - that thread is the providing for and facilitating of the spiri- tual needs of all Navy personnel. Not every US. Navy ship is fortunate enough to have its very own chaplain on board. The line is drawn around the 400 man mark. Since KALAMAZOOE ships company and air detachment number close to 450 she meets the criteria. Seen as a fatherly figure to the young, elder brother to the older, the chaplain in a word is available literally all hours ofthe day and night. During the course of our six month deployment the Chaplains Department has kept busy providing weekly wor- ship services. arranging for Mass. supporting Lay Eucharis- tic and Lay Reader Services. teaching Bible study classes, leading evening prayers at sea. arranging tours. conducting pre-marriage and marriage seminars. sing-a-longs. and spe- cial seminars. ln addition. it is not uncommon to see the chap- lain virtually anywhere on the ship listening, talking. getting better aequainled with his parish . If there has been a birth or death, an illness or an emer- gency, real or perceived. the chaplain is always on hand to provide assistance and counseling. The Chaplains staff consists of Chaplain Tom Smith and Religious Programs Specialist 3rd Class Derek Norman. They are responsible for manning the ship's library. the ship's closed circuit TV system, as well as the Publie Affairs Office. 40 chaplain 'Qi This is 60 seconds a minute to meditate w b 7 l I FA V 5 xt 'LT Hammond Medical Officer MEDICA The Medical Department on the USS KALANIAZOO is a highly trained and rnulti-functional unit. This team is of vital importance to the men and the mission of the SUPER K in that they are charged with the responsibility for the prevention and control of disease and injury, and the treatment of the sick and injured, To this end. LT Hammond and his medical staff perform their duties daily throughout the ship. Prevention ofdisease and injury is par- amount in a shipboard environment. The medical department inspects all incoming food and water to ensure the purity and wholesomeness of the products. They also conduct periodic food service and berthing inspections. The medical department also assists in many safety programs. They provide on scene medical support during underway re- plenishment and helicopter operations. The medical department maintains vigilant heat stress and hearing conservation pro- lll'LllT1h. fiducation is an important aspect in the prevention of disease and injury, The Medical Department maintains an effec- tive training program, informing the crew on such matters as first aid. hygiene, ve- nereal disease control, safety programs, and anticipation of health problems in various foreign ports. The medical department. like all de- partments onboard USS KALAMAZO0, has proven itself time and again.

The Flying Tigers of HC-6 DET 2 fly and maintain two Boeing Vertol H-46 Sea Knight tan- dem rotor helicopters. Each helicopter has the ca- pability of flying at 145 knots and the ability to lift 6000 pounds. The helicopters are used for vertical replenishment tvertrepj ofsupplies at sea. The tan- dem rotor design enables a crew of two pilots and ---:lc -- ,,.,-- f two air crewmen to operate in a less restrictive wind environment and to safely perform maneuvers characteristic ofthe vertrep mission, The primary function of the detachment dur- ing the MED '89 was to provide logistic support to the USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT battle group. Logistics support entailed the transporting of personnel. mail. and cargo tPMCl to and from various other ships in the Mediterranean Sea. The H-46 has the capability to move large amounts of cargo from one ship to another quickly and effec- tively through the use of a cargo hook tattached to the belly ofthe hclicopterl and strong nylon pen- dants. DET Two also served as a medical evacua- tion unit and as a search and rescue platform. Pa- tients requiring better medical facilities were trans- ported to land based hospitals and whenever it ap- peared that a man had fallen overboard, DET Two was there to aid in the search. Whether it was PMC. vertrep, or emergency assistance. HC-6 DET Two was there to get thejob done. Pride. Professionalism, and Service to the fleet are characteristic of the personnel in DET Two who worked hard during M ED '89 to maintain and unbeatable team. If 3 NE Ag ' r ,-gi-5 airdet 43 I ...

This was one of the most common phrases heard on USS KALAMAZOO as she steamed across, through, and around the Mediterranean on her 180 day Unexpected Cruise To the laymen this all may seem very strange. Explanations are definitely in order. Under- way replenishment is the way in which the USS KALAIVIAZOO is able to transfer her 7 million gal- lons of fuel, tons ofdry and frozen foods, and various ammunition and repair parts tothe ships of the 6th fleet. lt consists of two ships matching perfectly course and speed in order to function as one unit. Hoses for fuel transfer, and lines for cargo transfer are exchanged between two ships. This means an all hands cooperative evolution. The quartermasters are steering the ship keeping a perfect course,the machinist mates keeping the exact number of rev- olutions per minute on the engines for the perfectly matched speeds, the gunners mates firing the initial lines, deck department providing the skill and physi- cal labor to get the heavier lines and the cargo and hoses across, operations department setting the time and place for the underway replenishment to take place, supply department having the stores and parts ready and waiting, A-Gang with her perfectly main- tained fuel pumps, and rase division with the best winches in the fleet. When the KALAMAZOO does her thing every one gets involved even admin department helps out by manning up the sound pow- ered phones and keeping information flowing so ev- eryone knows what is going on. During the l80 days of Med Cruise '89 the USS KALAMAZOO completed over 2l0 under- way replenishments. This more than tripled the number of the ships that she relieved. The KZOO Crew did an outstanding job, always ready, whether at 0200 tvery commonl or at 0800 tnot nearly as commonl the job was done timely and professional- ly.

You have the EOOW fengineering officer of the watchl who maintains the engineering log and oversees the plant. Next in the chain is the MMOW ima- chinist mate ofthe watchj who maintains the logs ofthe other watch stations. The upper level man watches the auxiliary generators and main engine, the lower level man watches the main auxiliary con- densers for proper water level and purifies the oil transfers. There are 2 throttlemen their job is to keep the ship at the proper speed by adding or taking off steam which rotates the shaft. The messen- ger takes readings on the equipment and the electrician mate of the watch monitors the electrical switchboard. This sounds like a lot of people. Well it is only half. These were only the engineroom watches. The fireroom has the BTOW Cboiler technician of the watch, 2 evap watches that are responsible for the making fresh water for the crew and feed water for the boilers.

'IDN The Mars station. This futuristic sounding device is nothing more than a short wave radio system. This became the umbilical cord for many of the KZOO sailors who needed rapid communication with home. The guys worked on the system, ET2 QSWJ Shilling and ET3 tSWl Duer, put in many long hours installing and operating the equipment. The big difficulty was the large time difference between the Med and home. Another problem was the frequent question from anxious crew members is mars going to be operating tonight . After you have been asked that question 30 times in a day for the last 30 days it does tend to grate on ones nerves. They did a fantastic job keeping us in touch with home and getting problems solved. Good on you guys. 76 mars i ui CMC LAST CRUITE l 11-f On June 29th it was the privilege of RP3 Norman to dtdown and talk to Master Chief Brandt and gain the wis- demof his years of Naval experience looking back from this his last cruise. RP3: Master Chief could you tell us a little bit of your background and how long you have been in the navy. AGCM: Well. l've been in the navy a long time. This August I'lI have about 35 years in. My background. I came :nasa high school drop out. Just a dirty old airman. I got orderstoa helicopter squadron. And uh, one thing led to an- aher I got up to the meteorology department. I've in the scather business for the last 28 or 29 years. After about 28 5cars of weather I decided to get into the people business. lapplied for and was accepted to the command master chief program. They sent me to the KALAMAZOO six years ago av.lI've been here since then. RP3:So, what changes have you seen in the navy in the M135 years. AGCM:Changes, . . . I guess kids get smarter. The peo- are getting in are very smart. They are not the dum- Qwe used to beat up thirty years ago. I was one of those Qptoo. We didn't have all ofthe affirmative action plans. iiahuman goals. Wejust did what we had to do and we sur- On the whole I see people getting smarter. We just lift treat them like we used to. RP31 The changes that you have seen in the last 20 - Wears, have they been for the better or worse? g AGCM: I used to say. lf ever I got to power I want Iclf3'l8CihlHgS . When I finally worked my way up the pro- lmlonladder and got a little rank, I began to wish things ltmhe Way lhtiy were. But ofcourse we can never do that.

I ly word to the youngster is do the best you can and tell it like it is. RP3: Master Chief. how do you feel about this being your last cruise. ' AGCM: Well. I guess you could say I'm happy about it. But. I've been around long enough to know that my time is coming. It's about time that I got out and did something else. My family. most of my kids are gone now. I can get back with the wife. I think about it off and on. the pros and cons, but the more I think about it the more I'm looking forward to retirement. It is about time I slowed down so me and the wife can do what we want. She sacrificed alot these years. so it's about time we did what we want to do. In a nut shell I'm a little sorry to go, but then again when I really think about what the wife has put up with it is time that I got out and took care of her. RP3: Looking at your 35 year career in the navy, if you had it to do over again, would you. AGCIVIZ Absolutely! Without hesitation. 35 years... I wouldn't give it up for the world. Everything I've done I've liked. No one stays in this outfit for 35 years without liking it. The navy has given me everything that I have. Fora high school drop out I think that l've done quite well. a fantastic wife. three healthy kids thank God. I got a home, a car, a swimming pool, a lot of tangible things and intangible things in the last 35 years. RP3: One final question. any reflections on the last 35 years, or any words of wisdom for the crew. AGCM: Any final reflections. . . Well . . . I guess I told you before about telling the truth. and doing calling it like it is. I guess the reflections I would say is my wife. I probably never said this before but if it wasn't for her I wouldn't be where I am at today. You just can't go through this herejob. running all over the world, without someone home taking care of the kids. I guess my wife in the 26 years we've been married she's been there raising the family and taking care ofthe house so I can go trouncing all over and do what I did. If it wasn't for her, God bless her. I couldn't do what I did I have got to thank her for that. eine last cruise 77 Thns erulse htd some new beglnmngs for several of KAL-XlVlAlOOs sulors We had several neu trrn xls durmg the crulse New fathers xboard KALAMA ZOO sax they 1re happv proud and mx tous Most have nexer seen thelr baby ex cept nn pxctures or onee before the crulse started Some new fathers aren t sure hou to express thexr feelmgs about the1r new baby to watch as they grow older They hve to see the baby hft has head and crawl One father was so relieved and grateful to have a son that he claimed God IS stlll ln the mlracle bustness Other fathers wonder how long their baby crxes at mght how alert the babv IS and how much they have grovtn whlle dad s been away Most of these new fathers have real xzed that thls new addttlon to thelr famlly IS someone to bulld thenr l1fe around They usually make plans for the future He s go mg to be a doctor or a football player or She s going to be a lawyer Fatherhood ts one of those umque ex perxences of ltfe Although anyone can be a father ll takes speclal effort to be a Dad 78 new fathers EW FATHERS Ph W 'P+ A.

USS KALAMAZOO, had the distinct privilege ofvisiting Marseilles, France. on two occasions, for upkeeps of two weeks each. While both visits were officially working ports. all hands enjoyed liberty after the work day was over. KALA- MAZOO crew members could be found hanging out at one of the several bars in the downtown area, close to the gut . The most common hangouts were: Pytheas, Midway, and Pardou, which was overtaken by the operations department. Midway was operations' original hangout, until it was discov- ered that Kathy at bar Pardou treated the clientele much better, tdrinks were cheaper, the music was free, and disc jockeys and bartenders were KALA- MAZOC crew membersl. Deck and Engineering preferred the brighter lights of bar Pytheas and their larger mugs of Kronenburg. The crew did not spend all of their time in the bars though. Several shipmates enjoyed seeing the sights around the city, the cathedral ofNotre- Dame being the most popular attrac- tion. lt provides an excellent vantage point for viewing the city and harbor from atop the hill. Marseilles also provided the op- portunity for wine tasting tours, a trip to Monte Carlo and Paris, A good time was had by all regardless ofthe choice of activities. 80 marscillcs FRANCE .e'-If-S3 - a E u 1 5 KIT ITALY aim gl-vgluxmgi vluu mln lhc p-:pu ugmlc Sl Pclcrx Hmlllxui 4 wmilwrs druxam ulizm Sunset x N .Xp 1 588241 ' n ' 1 1 'Eff-,gf U-.v,..
