16 Our sober, industrious Radio gang. I must have lost that Top Secret message. Ofie% tca( efit The Captain wants to know about a scheduled rendezvous at sea; the Officer of the Deck can ' t get a clear picture on his radar repeater; the Supply Officer wants to request several items fronn another ship. These are the times when the alertness and efficiency of the Ops crew pay off. These skilled men are the nervous system of the ship. CHEMUNG would be lost to the modern Navy but for their efforts. Diligent corpsman striker studies the latest medical jour- nals. 4 ct( i(U t%a,tC( K cfit The Admin people are the watchful Fates of the ship. They act as midwife to bring the new arrival into the world of CHEMUNG. They superintend his growth by shooting him full of vaccines and shipping over ad- vice. They decree his state of mind by seeing to it that he gets (or doesn ' t get) crucial letters at the right time. They punish him for over-stepping his bounds. They chart his progress in letters and numbers. Finally, they usher him into the next world when his time is up. And, if their efforts are succes- ful, the CHEMUNG sailor gets a glimpse of the human concern that breathe s life into bureaucracy. Big Brother Riggs is watching YOU. - V ' (f mc;-,, ,.
