il' 54 Each of my departments must make periodic reports to various bureaus in the Navy Department and to other naval commands. These reports and all other othcial mail go through the Captain's Office for accountability purposes. Under direction ot the Ship's Secretary, the Captain's Othce processes the paperwork, maintains the master correspondence tiles, and insures that all my reports are submit- ted on time. Also under the watchful eye of the Secretary is the Othcer personnel Ottice. Here the plan of the Day is made up, othcer service records are stored, and classitied publications received and routed to the proper destinations. ln addition to these duties, the Ships Secretary also serves as the Captains secretary, handling his personal correspondence, replying to letters, and removing the burden of routine paperwork from the Capt's shoulders. is if ilett to right!

The Executive Officer is truly the right hand man of my Captain. Although the Commanding Officer is responsible for everything that trans- pires aboard me, he does not have the time to devote to overseeing the minute details. Instead, he gives the orders and the Exec sees to it that the commands are carried out properly. But the Executive Ofhcer, in turn, cannot allow himself to become entangled in the mountains of paper- work that are a part of administering G sea-going air base. To assist him in the task is the Administrative Staff. They are the ones who process the paperwork, handle the administration of law and order, supervise the various training programs, and look after the religious welfare of the crew.

The Navy wants men of ingenuity, men capable of original thought That means men with education. Not just education in their specialty, but a balanced working knowledge in many fields. Keeping this in mind, the Navy has provided the means by which her men can further their education, at the high school or college level, or in their chosen professional specialty. The Education and Training Office is the agency my men use to continue their training. Every training course offered by the Navy, and virtually all the courses offered by high schools and colleges are there for the asking. 2 2
