Coming to us from three previous assignments, one with the SEABEE Base in Vietnam, he helped many of us with a patient ear and some wise words of advice. After more than three years aboard the Mt. Whitney, Chaplain Knight was relieved by Chaplain Garvin and Went to the Drug Reha- bilitation Center, Jacksonville, Florida, in January 1974. We were sorry to see our Georgia native go, and wish him the best of luck in his future. l ,Q ,, 1 CDR Carver, CHC, USN A former enlisted man, CDR,Garver was an Aviation Electrician from 1951 to 1955. He knows the problems of both officer and enlisted, and is a valuable asset for the Mount Whitney.

Cathcart Navigator ,hm NAVIGATION Virtually from the time Columbus discovered America by coming 7000 miles short ol' his destination, quartermasters have been noted for their navigational wisdom. Relying on a combination of electronic wizardy, celestial awareness, and a healthy dose of guesswork, MOUNT WHITNEY has always been right on navigator's track . Backing up this crew is another team of experts: the weathermen. Through rain and snow, sleet and hail, the weathermen are always predicting better days to come, they're rarely wrong. But let it always be remembered: despite all adversities, there has never been any trouble in identifying the Chesapeake Light and the home ahead. l i l l l l 1 l l 1 r 3 Standing left to right- QM1 Chillstrom, QMSN Heath QM3 Clarkeg Kneeling L to R- QMSN Lange, SN Capuano, QM3 O'Brien lg NAD MUN Y.

Living in a world of codes and crypto, these radiomen handle hundreds of messages and more a day. Though usually busy with the ships messages, they have been able to handle efficiently the extra responsibility of having COMSIXTHFLT, COMPHIBLANT and COMPI-IIBGRUTWO embarked. Message handling is not the onlyjob of a radioman. Along with the title of 'RM' comes the responsibility of antenna main- tenance, teletype repair, control and maintenance of coniniuni- cation circuits plus the normal division duties. Often overlooked, but absolutely necessary, the RM's keep us informed of what is happening. f fe r' . . :.Q .J ,--A--1 ,c f' .:., . ' f- ' X s, 4 t '11 ' UW ' ...wi we GNU! 9 V sf ' .4 I Va i 36 3.

The Dental Technicians that staff the Department provide the highest standard of professional dental care obtainable for personnel aboard the Mt. Whitney and its embarked staffs. Our DT's help maintain oral hygiene aboard the ship, and anyone who has a dental problem can rest assured that D Division can handle it. Mt. Whitney owes a lot to her Dental department, and we're glad that they're aboard. Lt. E. R. Smith Dental MEDICAL The Medical Department is one of those departments that you would rather not have on board, but it's nice to know they're there. Besides having one of the most up-to-date and completely equipped sick-bay's aboard a ship, our Medical Department is staffed by some of the most well trained and qualified personnel the Fleet has to offer. Being congenial, and truly sympathetic towards all their patients, the Mt. Whitney'S corpsmen make the trip to sick-call more pleasant. The Medical Department QH Divisionj is responsible for food and water sanitation, lst aid boxes, Sick Call, Weight Control programs, Immunizations, and any other normal or emergency situation that may arise. The Mt. Whitney donated the most blood to the Ports- mouth Naval Hospital at one time, 146 pints. The Medical department coordinated this effort and spent many hours working on this project. Lt. K. R. Boren Medical 43 HMl J. McBride HMI W. Lancaster HM2 R. Farky HM3 N. Bowman HM3 J. Davis HN G. Griffiths HN B. Rock .SA P. Brockman SA L. Walraven HMC Loose The Medical Department tends to the aches and pains of the MOUNT WHITNEY personnel and other ships in port. We have been most fortunate in the past years, that there were few life and death situations, but when there were MOUNT WHITNEY's Med- ical Department handled each with the ut- most proficency and professionalism that is their mark. Most of their work consists of routine sick call, enforcing safety regulations, sani- tation and participation in many types of exercises. With constant training and untiring ef- fort, H Division stands ready to meet all types of emergencies. D DIVISIO .. 1 'A -Q- wt v ' 4 f 1' w J A - xl wg sf K - I T. .

In offices situated throughout the ship the men of X Division may be found hard at work on the myraid administrative tasks so necessary for the efficient operation of a ship as large 33 MOUNT WHITNEY. The Yoemen in the Administration Office process most of the ship's correspondence-both incoming and outgoing. In addition, they maintain Officer service records and perform personnel administrative work for the C0rnmanding Officer and Executive Officer. Tllff Chaplain, in addition to his religious role, is responsible for the Hdrninrstration of the Crew's Library-one of the more popular recreational facilities on board' , The 5hlP,S Career Counselors and Educational Services Office provide information on the benefits inherent in a Navy Career along with the plrocurement of BUPERS and USAFI correspondence courses and oversee adfilaadministrationgof .high school and college equivalency and Navywide t ncemenfexaminations. Their advice on educational matters, both mili- WY and civilian, is sought by many daily. thtlhe POStal Clerks play a major role in bolstering the moralelofalllhands by receivlgilfiiipt handling ofthe tremendous volume of mail winch is sent and Th Y MOUNT WHITNEY personnel. 0 Personnelmen of the Personnel Office are responsible for maintaining the service records of enlisted personnel, processing leave requests and overseeing the continual coming and going of Navy men to and from the flagship. The Lithographers of the Print Shop use tons of paper monthly in providing printing and reproduction services for the ship and embarked staffs as well as other units of the Atlantic Amphibious Force. The Journalists of the Public Affairs Office are responsible for the dissemination of news both to and from the ship. They provide information to the crew, their families and the general public through the ship's News- paper, Closed Circuit Television and Family Grams. The Illustrator Draftsmen of the Drafting Shop produce lettering and sketches, layout posters and charts, and provide engraving services for the flagship. The Legal Offices process disciplinary offenses in addition to offering assistance to the crew on any kind oflegal matter. The Master-at-Arms Force under the leadership of the Chief Master-at- Arms is charged with the responsibility of maintaining order and discipline aboard the ship. They enforce all regulations, supervise ceremonial functions and provide escorts when required. It should be quite apparent that each of these offices play a significant role in the effective operation of MOUNT WHITNEY. Indeed, every member of X Division does his share to make the life of his shipmates a bit more pleasant. lf? F is 9 Q g A . 4 i ' 5 , .M 3 DI 1510 T w . T T T T 4 x 1 ff' V E? Q PNCS M.

Where cooking for one or two can seem bad enough to the average person, cooking for 800 or more can become a nightmare.
