Miller, Rodriquez. i 1 NX Division, almost a department unto itself. In the language of the business world they constitute an operating group. There are seven different rates represented in NX. The HIVI ' s keep us well so we can take the leave the PN ' s set up for us when we get to wherever the QM ' s guide us. The PC ' s perform what some consider the most important duty of all: keeping us in touch with our loved ones. We all know the ship couldn ' t operate for very long without the YN ' s who handle all the administrative paperwork, and there ' s a ton of it too, just ask them. The MAA ' s are the ship ' s police force, not always the most appreciated people but try going without them for awhile and you ' ll see how necessary they are. The NC, he ' s the one guy who can give you the straight skinny on your career. All in all, NX is a very necessary group of men. 28
