LT D. R. Mosley Chaplain DCI W, J. llunlington RP3 E. Nl. Castile Chaplain's fiiee The Ultimate Depository for Problems The Chaplain's Office is technically a part of the Administration Department. However, it has evolved by necessity into a separate department de facto. The Chaplain and his staff wear many hats: counselor, minister, psychologist. friend. coordinator for the many varied ethnic culture nights. The Chaplain's department attempts to help others resolve problems when resolution has appeared, many times, to be impossible. Sometimes resolution remains impossible after counseling and the focus becomes assistance in dealing with that very reality ..... namely. the problem isn't going away. The Chaplain's oflice is tasked with tracking all AMC ROSS messagesg holding services representing many faiths and denominationsg bible studies: assistance to foreign orphans and widows, Operation Handclasp, PMS for sailors, and with processing deaths among the crew and among the loved ones of crew members. During a deployment it would be difficult to find a busier department than the Chaplain's or one with a greater humanitarian need and burden. The Chaplain and his staff are always on duty, and always appreciated.

V J P CO's Nonjudicial Punishment was one of the most efficient operations during WESTPAC 93. On many occassions it was only a matter of hours from the commission of an olfense until the matter was concluded. While pictures of actual CO's NJP are not published to protect the guilty, pictures of this practice session are offered as a reminder that everyone's life is a little better if CO's NJP can be avoided altogether. The Captain's uncanny ability to speak with only his eyes is captured by this photograph which clearly communicates not on my ship because I'll be on you like a tall dog. R L
