gil! W-.! Q Q Q v. Li., if if-f KATMAl's yeomen CYN'sj and personnelmen CPN'sD live and work in a little cell called ship office. part of the yeoman's iob is never to know what the personnelman is doing, and vic versa. when they aren't handling their primary task of typing the P.O.D., they can be doing such odd iobs as handling the ship's correspondence, routing mail, keeping fi c instructions, and acting as the executive oFficers right arm. I y the primary job of the PN is to provide a shoulder for his shipmates to cry on. in ' c' the PN's handle the crew's service records, type orders for transfer and discharge, crew informed of special programs available to them, and keep their bible, the bupers Qi., Agyyp my ' polished and up-to-date. the HM's have the thankless iob of curing the effects of WESTPAC liberty on the KATN sailor. ' they provide everything from penicillin to a pat on the back in their uphill fight agci disease. after a morning sick call with the DCC's you don't know what help they were, it was sure fun talking to them. the PC is the fellow who insures that the KATMAI man's morale is kept high through mail - home. he doesn't deliver much mail, but it's the anticipation of mail that keeps up morale.
