Administration As much of a necessity as the governing body of a state or nation is the Admin- istration Department of any naval organization or command. ' It was here the future naval oflicer's destiny was determined from the time he received his long awaited orders in V-12, until the day he was handed his orders to proceed from Fort Schuyler. lt was here also the Midshipman's courses, base trips, interviews and the regimental life he was to lead for the next four months was planned. Actual contact with this department by the middies was had largely through the personnel and billet interviews that were made throughout the termg hut, the activities during all of the regimental weekdays were under the direct influence of the Administration Department. The current term for midshipmen at Fort Schuyler, or any other midshipmen's school, was passed through under the most trying of conditions. Uncertainty, the most far fetched of rumors, and scuttlebutt that was gathered from Hogan's fifth cousin who had once seen Admiral Jacobs, down to the Chinaman who played left coffee pourer for the navy in the chow hall, continually plagued the battalions. It was the additional job of the Administrative interviewers to straighten out the distorted viewpoints and ideas of the men after they had been exposed to all the scuttlebutt and to set them down on the right path again. Regimental hats off to all of them- they did a grand job. Q'- W9 ny, 'ir-Ei! X 22
