Operation Grder M' in l ' 'Q' 7 V - ' 2 COMPHIBLANT No. 503464 ' ' M APPENDIX II TO ANNEX B GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR CONDUCT OF OPEN HOUSE 1. GENERAL. The information contained herein shall not be construed as absolute, but as guidelines for the conduct of open house during this cruise. The Commanding Officer, USS DESOTO COUNTY is encouraged to exercise his good judgment and initiative in deviating from certain of these guidelines when the circumstances of a particular situation are conducive to such action. For example, it may be advisable to extend the recommended visiting hours if at the end of the scheduled hours there are still a large number of visitors waiting to come aboard and it is the last day in the particular port. 2. SPECIFICS. I . a. Recom ended visiting hours are 1000 to 1700 daily. This will allow general field day and titivation during the period.0800 to 0900 as well as the handling of visits by special groups, news media, etc. during the period 0900 to 1 b. The Doctor and corpsman should be readily available during visiting hours in order to handle emergency first aid and treatment as required. I c. Unescorted children younger than l2 years oflage should not be allowed on board. , d. Distinctive and numerous route signs should be prominently posted so as to control traffic flow of visitors in a positive manner. e. The ladies' powder room shall be meticulously clean prior to commence- ment of open house, and shall be clearly and prominently marked. b f. No smoking shall be allowed on board during visiting hours except in , those-spaces exclusively reserved for the crew and out of sight pf the flow of visitors. g. Bluejackets andfor Marines should be judiciously stationed along the visiting route in order to answer questions. A distinctive Efmband marked HINFORMATIONH would seem to be appropriate. h. 'Positively ensure that visitors do not enter restricted areas, engineering spaces, etc. - KU - i:'BF1I-1 N., ,. .. ..., ..... :- -if-T-A-ra-'52-r2:.14::-914... 55s:vz1r:.:rsi9i11:'i5l7Y . , - .. -- 1.-rv --,, '1 ::.
