■on ' Admiral ' Without An Ocear It may have been 300 miles to the near- est ocean, but the (Jniversity still had its own admiral. Senior Chief Ted Jones, sometimes af- fectionately called admiral. directed the Navy enlisted officer program and aver- aged 15-17 recruits a year, which is excel- lent for a college, according to Jones. Our program was the first of its kind in the Navy, Jones said. This program is used by the Navy as an example of how to start a recruiting office on a college cam- pus. The Naval office opened its doors in Fer- guson Center on April 4. 1980, and there were 25 college recruiting programs across the nation within four years with more to come. I ' m a placement officer, too, Jones said. I place people in their careers and on campus, I ' m available to everyone — from doctors and nurses to business students. It ' s really convenient having Ted there on campus, Jon Rouse, a junior in indus- trial management from Birmingham, said. Ted is always there to help with any ques- tion. Rouse returned to school to become a Navy pilot, his goal since he was eight years old. 1 wanted to be a Navy pilot ever since my mother handed me two bobby pins and said, ' Look, Jon, an airplane, ' Rouse said. I started getting away from it after I dropped out of college and started to work, but then I decided I wanted to go back and graduate and be a pilot. The first step in the Navy program was to pass a test with sections on topics such as math, engineering and Naval oper- ations. The test was real hard, Johnny Per- rett, an ensign now stationed in Athens, Ga. said. It really tested your knowledge. It ' s hard because they want the best people they can get. Ted only deals in ' quality people, ' Rouse said. He ' s strictly by the book and he gives it to you straight. If he doesn ' t think a person could make it, he tells him or her, so they won ' t make a waste of their time. Some of my kids say I ' m subtle as a baseball bat and just as honest, Jones said. You ' ve got to be if you want quality and I can get quality students at the (Jni- versity. Jones advertised the Navy and his ser- vices but felt the best advertisement was word of mouth. I get referrals from a lot of places John Sofie at the Career Placement Office professors and deans from all parts of car pus, Jones said. I don ' t have to work i hard that way and I can concentrate moi on my kids. Johnny Perrett, a corporate finance gn duate from Bay Minette, left for a thre year stint in the Phillippines in June. 1 saw an ad in the Crimson White an ' talked to Ted and got interested, Perrei said. The $17,000 a year salary helpec too. After graduation, Perrett left for office candidate school in Newport, R.I. They really put you through it that firs week, Perrett said. It ' s just like that mc ie An Officer and a Gentleman ' . Perrett would use his college degree I his work in the Phillippines as a suppi corps director. I ' ll be working on the business end c the trip there, Perrett said. ' I ' ll be detei mining inventory disbursements and carg( transports. Most of my students keep in touch an 60 percent call, Jones said. Tm prett well known on campus. Kids call ' Hey chief or captain or even admiral ' . D — Tara Askev Clarifying a question on the math part of the officers test. Senior Chief Ted Jones explains some con- cepts of the calculus that could be covered on the exam to Fred Helf, a mechanical engineering senior, and Bob Self, a communications senior from Flor- ence.
