The common bond of the members of the department is providing service to the crew. The two largest entities in the department are the Ship's Office CYeoman 5 and the Personnel Officer CPersonnelmenJ. The Yeoman maintain officer service records, prepare official documents relat- ing to officers, prepare all outgoing correspondence and internal directives for the signature of the ' 'll commanding officer or those designated by him, and file and route all incoming correspondence. It's a big job and it becomes even more demanding when directives must be revised or created prior to an inspection. The Personnelmen maintain enlisted service records and originate correspondence pertaining to enlisted personnel. With three hundred enlisted personnel assigned and only two or three Personnel- men, theirs is always a very demanding job every day of the year. The Yeoman and Personnelmen on a vessel homeported overseas must work even harder than their counterparts on a ship of the same class homeported in CONUS. There is a lot of special correspondence associated with being assigned to an overseas homeport, and there's rarely' a Personnel Support Activity like the ones in Hawaii and San Diego nearby to provide guidance. The others who fall under the mantle Cf the Administrative Department to varying degrees are the Command Master Chief, the 3-Nl Coordinator, the Master-at-Arms, Command Career Counselor and the Postal Clerk, The Master-at'Arms assists the Executive Officer in enforcing Navy and command policies. I' youre not complying with a regulation when he's around, you can bet he'll tell you about it. The Command Career Counselor provides 'formation to the crew concerning career development and talks to the detailers. Before the creation of the NC rate, this service was zrcwdec by di fizior. officers. Now the Navy has so many programs you can take advantage of that it takes a dedicated professional to trees 'raclr sf them all The Postal Clerlf doesn't endure much rain, snow, sleet or hail, but he does hand out the mail both at home and in faraway piacez Hopefully you now have a better understanding of the Administrative Department. We also hope you've been satisfied If the e 1 cet Ne fe profided during the past year. if
