This nightly broadcast is usually aired between 1730 and 1800 while at sea, and according to our Gallup Poll, is viewed by approximately 8042: of the crew. On Update , Captain Boyd generally starts off by giving the ship's position at the time of broadcast as well as describing events of the day which are of interest to all hands. Usually, the ships schedule is announced. This program has proven highly successful and has been a very important link of communications between the Captain and his crew. The captain is so popular on TYKO TV, that he also hosts on the average of once every at-sea period, a show entitled Straight to the Old Man . On this program, if a man has a question or is confused about why things are, all he has to do is pick up the telephone and call while the show is being broadcast live and have his question answered by the Top Tiger himself. ln this manner everyone benefits both from the questions and the answers. -Q.. if, Vi--

Under the guidance of the Executive Officer, the Admin Department carried out their usual wide variety of tasks during the Apollo Mission. The yeoman attached to the Admin Office, 3M Office, Legal Office and Captain's Office prepared much of the necessary correspondence and reports. The personnelmen and career counselors in the Personnel Office and Career Counseling Office, as well as those of the Educational Services Office, provided essential personal services so necessary to morale and effective management of TICONDEROGA's crew and embarked units. The postal clerks were extra busy in the Post Office handling the extra large volume of both incoming and outgoing mail, including the Apollo 16 first day covers so valued by collectors, as well as selling thousands of stamps and money orders. Many extra printing jobs directly related to the mission were handled on a round the clock basis by the lithographers of the ship's Print Shop. The crew and embarked personnel were kept informed concerning the day to day developments of the mission and were entertained during the trip by the journalists and TV technicians of the Public Affairs, Office. Members of the CGMNAVAIRPAC Band provided music during the splashdown ceremony as well as throughout the voyage. The Chaplain's Office personnel, as usual, were deeply involved in maintaining high morale through personal counseling, assistance and management of the crew's library, and conducting daily religious services for all denominations. The Master-at-Arms Force provided not only security for the ship and Apollo 16 equipment, but also assistance to the many embarked civilians of NASA and the news media in adjusting to shipboard life. iff?
