One of our most vital links with the rest of the world, especially during a deployment, TARAWA's Post Office plays an important part in maintaining high morale. Much like their civilian coun- terparts, TARAWA's Postal Clerks fPC'sj collect outgoing mail, cancel stamps and send mail on the way. It's probably a fair bet to say some of the Westpac goodies you received went through TARAWA's Post Office. 'F Q l P- it null 7 ,y Z Z W PERSONNEL OFFICE TARAWA's Personnel Of- fice is manned by Personnel- men fPN'sj. PN's provide crewmen with information and counseling about Navy jobs, opportunities for educa- tion and training, promotion requirements and rights and benefits. l The Personnel Office is also the home of every TARAWA sailor's service record. Consid- ering each sailor's record con- tains about 20 pages and docu- ments every event in his mili- tary career, the PN's responsi- bility for keeping the 800 plus on board up to date is an awe- some one. As it's often said, lf they lose your record -- you don't exist! O I f X 1 6 W Qfrom left to rightj PC1 Pesheck, PNSN Fellows, PC3 Bacon, SN Rux gn 23
