sage. -Z Tgugr. 1 .ae i I .Q ! A, ,l iz .1 i If 1 1 . S OE Division Remember that wild, wacky, wonderful OE Division? Well if you do you've got the division because this place is really dullsville. Anyway, l'll try and liven it up with a few lies and halftruths. Mr. Schleichert, our division officer, is really a great guy. He's an inspiration to us all. l wish he wouldn't yell so much, though, hurts my ears. When Mr. Schleichert is not yelling Chief Brownlow has time to read the P.O.D. The chief is also a photographer with an assortment of pictures you wouIdn't want to miss. Chief Bohl is not as notorious as Chief Brownlow, but every so often he blows up an ECM antenna. Of course, we can't forget the Hackit brothers, Charlie and Mac. Their combined WESTPAC purchases have made radar 1 look like Macyis during Christmas clearance. Mitch has found that oil and wind don't mix while playing with the SPS-10 radar antenna. The ship won't rust with oil all over, now will it? Robbie was generous enough to join us for a few months last WESTPAC, Snook and Kristof performed UHF maintenance with their usual dedicated zeal inlhis absence. The dynamic ECM trio, Butz, Bobby G., and Chuckles Marquardt, have managed to disrupt the usual day to day activities of OE Division which include Mike Newman and Ftussell's continuous and neverending discussion , Ed Small's body building program and Skip's love affair with the SPS 40 radar. Hoenes has decided his goal in life is to be an EW We all have our failings and David Roehrman has decided to get married fill in all not bad for a division I guess Maybe we ll be able to do better next ime Jafar. 11 -, 1. .,..,...,,,- ---3-'--si.

Supply Operations, Weapons, and Engineering must, of course, receive high credit for the manner in which they served and the peak levels of readiness of their equipments. This state of readiness could never have been possible, however, without the excellent support given to all departments by Supply. Under the leadership of LT Jeffrey Gordon all areas of Supply, from GSK to the galley, did their best to provide their specialty, service, to the crew. As head of the department and Supply Officer, LT Gordon held the unenviable position as custodian of the ship's precious OPTAR dollars, trying to stretch them out over the entire quarter whlle simultaneous- ly meeting the high repair parts usage caused by the ship's extensive operations. Supply was also one of the primary factors influen- cing the morale of the crew. Within LT Gordon's cognizance were the galley which prepared and served all the meals for 300 plus men of STRAUSSQ the laundry where the uniforms and linens were washed, and the ship's store where health items, toiletries, cigarettes, and gee-dunk were available for the crew. Faced with a myriad of activities within his own department and vitally concerned with the material needs of the other departments, LT Gordon set the pace for his men. Through his efforts the quantity of Supply's vital product, service to the crew, was maintained at a level of consistent excellence. Q-rx-as-M-w-Q :xr PORK CHOP POWER
