Leave, special awards, discharges, new per- sonnel separations, and re-enlistments are all handled with much expertise. The ship ' s Print Shop and Post Office are manned by two men dedicated to the quality of their work, and these men can be found putting in many long hours at their prospective professions. The Yeomen are the backbone of the division. Their functions range from running the Captain ' s Office, to sorting and licking envelopes for Familygrams. The YN ' s are a working bunch of typists, who handle literally thousands of pounds a paper a month. Chief Tupper v_ % . i r .

K D B Q is affiliated with the American Forces Radio and Television service and the Navy Broadcasting System. K D B Q TV operates on an assigned fre- quency of 72-78 megahertz at a rated power of 10 milowatts. Programming material is provided by the American Forces Radio and Television Service in Los Angeles. Programming materials for both radio and TV are provided to authorized ships while in a deployed status only, or when located for a prolong- ed period of time in an area where commercial English language is not available. Whenever KDBQ is on the air, you can bet J03 Zinchak is there, making lonely nights a little shorter. irr(0 KDBQ !:fe - m ' S ' -w )iiirniati0iuil l nmij S m (orlgigh ol Joumalisit X : j ' i; ' i ' !i BRIEF The Chaplain Ain ' t Here!
