ADMINISTR TIO DEPARTME The Administrative Department, also known as X-Staff , performs a wide range of tasks, primarily concerned with the personnel management, admini- strative support, morale and welfare of all hands on the Ticonderoga, A total of thirteen different offices comprise this department, not including the Com- manding Officer and Executive Officer, support of whom is the over-riding concern of the department. Yeomen of the captain's office and administrative office prepare most of the correspondence and other paper work on the ship for signature of the captain and executive officer. The journalists of the public affairs office are concerned with getting the word out, not only to the public but to the crew. They prepare news stories for hometown newspapers and other news media to let people know the accomplishments of the ship and the crew. The personnel office maintains all enlisted personnel records and handles all related personnel matters, such as requests for schools, special programs and reassignments. The educational services office is also concerned with getting the word out to the men of the Tico. The personnel men that work here assist all hands in educational efforts, not only for advancement and promotion but also for self-enrichment. The chaplain's office is still another office concerned with getting the word out, the word of God. Two chaplains and several clerical assistants are assigned to the chaplains office to provide religious services for the crew in addition to counseling and guidance in all personal matters which may need attention. The busy printers in the ship's print shop provide numerous printing and reproduction services for all departments of the Ticonderoga, from invitations for change of command ceremonies through printing of the daily crews menu, ships newspaper and the plan of the day. The legal office is concerned with administering the Navy's judicial system on board the Tico and also provide legal assistance and advice in such matters as wills, power of attorney and financial management. The Master at Arms force of the ship provides the police force to ensure good order and discipline and assist in instilling a cooperative spirit in the complex life of what is essentially a small ship afloat. The Material Maintenance Management office f3Ml is tasked with the complex responsibility of coordinating the ships maintenance program, so essential to ensure continuous operation of the thousands of components in the propulsion, aircraft launching and other systems. The postal clerks assigned to the post office handle the mail, so important to the morale of the crew, particularly when deployed to the Western Pacific. Thousands of pieces of mail are processed monthly. Handling and sorting this mountain of good news keeps them hopping, but in addition they sell stamps and money orders and provide information and advice to their many customers.
