- M| I K | «■ ' ' ' ILfll mm ni 9 nF MMnL, .. ' - - X-l Each sailor has his own identity, the one he sees in the mirror daily, and the one that is reflected on paper. That pa- per image is the constant handiwork of X 1 Division. This division is the one that types the reports, sends the mail, documents the maintenance, and prints the publications that affect each Mis- souri sailor. X 1 represents three unique groups that are integral to smooth ad- ministrative functions. X 1 is the custo- dian for all correspondence sent to the ship and the Captain. X 1 is the mail- man that distributes and sends back out all the letters and packages from family and friends. X 1 is the printer that pub- lishes the official instructions and doc- uments that outline the multitude of battleship functions and responsibil- ities. X 1 is the coordinator for the ship ' s program of 3-M for the Navy ' s Maintenance and Management System. X 1 is the one for you. Administering a 3-M test is just one of many 3-M related jobs YN3 Michael performs each week. YNSN Valdez burns up the keyboard on his computer in the word processing center.

X-2 X-2 Division of the Administrative Department consists of the Personnel Office, the Educational Services Office and the Command Career Counselor ' s office. Each crewmember on board will visit the Personnel Office at one time or another during their tour, either when they report aboard, change a record of emergency data, apply for a new I.D. card, initiate a special request, depart the ship on leave or TAD, or just to verify their service record. The ESO is responsible for every- thing to do with advancements, DANTES and PACE courses, function- al skills classes, Navy correspondence courses, separations and reenlistments, plus the upkeep and scheduling of the two training classrooms. The Command Career Counselor is a Chief Navy Counselor who is tasked with making career information avail- able and furnishing counseling to the crew. He offers each crew-member no- nonsense information upon which to base sensible decisions concerning the sailor ' s future. The division officer is a CW04 who is assisted by a PNCM with a staff of two PNl ' s, four PN2 ' s, five PN3 ' s, and five PNSN ' s. People are our business, ser- vice is our product is the working motto of X-2 Division aboard Mighty Mo. Clockwise from top: PN3 Trujillo ad- justs the camera before taking another I.D. card photograph. PN2 Comeau (seated) and PNSN Stevens verify ser- vice record entries. PN1 Yonce, like many of his shipmates, phoned home during the cruise to keep in touch with family and friends. PN3 O ' CarrolI and PN2 Miller check education records in the Education Service Office.
