STAR, SCORE, VSl SSB, SRB and CREO arc just a few of the mysteries the CCC team made plain on a daily basis. The Counselors were assisted by more than 150 departmental and divisional career counselors. During the deployment, they kept track of the career intentions of 5000-plus sailors and processed 204 reenlistments, equaling 816 years of total obligated service. The hard work paid off for them and the crew. More than S1 million was paid to these deserving individuals in recnlistmcnt bonuses. In June, 73 recnlistments were completed, 60 of which were presided over by the President of the United States, Bill Clinton, and Chief of Naval Operations ADM Mike Boorda. “Beware of Laser Jet Blast” is a caution sign any visitor may have seen when walking into the XO’s Admin Office.

Having processed more than 1,500 awards during the deployment, YNC Pete Tama and YN2 Brian George were the ship’s resident experts in awards preparation and processing. YN3 Mike Collins had the demanding job of maintaining the Procedures and Regulations Manual (PROM), a 1,000 page document that provided the necessary policy and guidance to assist the crew in performing routine and specialized tasks.
