Can I see the legal officer now? Hey, what ' s the scoop on this note 4 in the POD? These and many more arc the questions answered by personnel office in the course of a day. The administrative department, under the direction of Cdr. Arndt, our execu- ti ( ' officer, is responsible for the records of both officer and enlisted personnel alike. The personnel office is responsible for the records, leaves, liberty cards and special requests of the enlisted personnel. The legal office handles the difficulties that an officer or enlisted man may come up against in both naval and civilian law. Both offices are under the direction of Ens. Gaudio. The captain ' s office, under the direction of SCLK Foster, is responsible for the records of the officers, guard mail and for restricted and security information. Education, under the direction of Ens. Lewis, is responsible for the handling of school requests from the crew members. The chaplain ' s office, under the direction of Father Dwyer, is responsible for the religious welfare of the ship, organizing ship ' s parties and tours, and for the upkeep of the crew ' s library. USAFI applications are also handled by the chap- lain ' s office. The print shop takes care of all printed matter to be distributed aboard ship. During the course of a day they will print the plan of the day, perhaps an officer ' s roster change, and when at sea the daily issue of the Bataan News. The master-at-arms, headed by Borkowski, BMC, known to the crew as the .sheriffs, are responsible for the law and order aboard ship, and for the enforcement of ship ' s regulations.
