Waty Cxchanye
The Main Retail Store and
Housewares Store, T-27 will be
closed Monday and Tuesday, 26-
27 November, for inventory due to
relief of the present Exchange
Officer.
A wide selection of gift items
still exists in all departments, des-
pite heavier-than-expected sales.
The trend this season appears to
be toward household gifts. Cryst-
alware, appliances, radios and
phonographs are among the most
sought-after items. Perfumes,
jewelry and leather goods remain
favorites with patrons seeking
packages that combine multiple
items such as perfume and col-
ogne. Jewelry sets of matched
necklace and earrings, and wallet
and key holder sets are popular
items.
Items made in foreign countries
appear to be preferred gifts sent
stateside. Particularly popular are
Icelandic woolens and ceramics.
Some of the most recent addi-
tions to the Navy Exchange stock
include console phonographs and
table radios from Germany, Can-
adian-made sport jackets, radios
imported from England and Irish
linens.

November—1 December 1962, will

Century Club
Warren, a 28-year-old Texan, by
completing this flight qualified for
membership in the BARFOR-
LANT “Century Club.” Only crew
members who have flown 100 bar-
riers may join the club.
Wilson has been flying the bar-
rier since November 1961. He en-
listed in the Navy in April 1955
and is a 24-year-old native of New-
burgh, New York.
Charting the Course
Navigators Giles and Garrett
work near the middle of the cabin
where they have a panel of in-
struments, charting table, peri-
scopic sextant, drift sight, and
other navigational aids.
Both navigators are 24 years
old. Lt. (jg) Giles is from Evans-
ville, Indiana; Ens. Garrett, from
Pierre, South Dakota.
Communications
Opposite the navigators is the
radioman position. All messages
are in code. Radiomen West, a
25-year-old Texan, and Ingram,
a 20-year-old West Virginian, send
an average of 65 messages during
each patrol. In addition to hand-
ling message traffic they main-
tain electronic equipment used by
CIC and the navigators, plus their
own communcations equipment.
CIC, the Combat
Information Center
About one third of the cabin
space is occupied by CIC equip-
ment and technicians. In darkness
they read red-illuminated instru-
ment dials and intently watch
luminous flecks of green appear
on the radarscopes. One radar an-
tenna searches a circular area
500 miles in diameter while an-
other antenna searches vertically
to find the altitude of approaching
aircraft.
Radar and ECM contacts are
relayed to the plotting table and
there changed into geographic
locations. This information is
checked by the CIC Officer and
then transmitted to the BARFOR-
LANT Operational Control Cent-
er. Within but a minute or two
after a contact is found, CIC
must have its report in the Opera-
tional Control Center in the Head-
quarters of the Commander Bar-
rier Force Atlantic.
Lt. Murphy, the CIC Officer,
entered the Navy as an Aviation
Cadet and completed flight train-
ing in April 1954. He had a tour
of duty with Patrol Squadron 42
and another as flight instructor

at Pensacola, Florida. Under an
extension of the Navy’s Holloway
Plan he attended the University
of Mississippi and graduated in
June 1960. After completing CIC
School he joined AEWRON
ELEVEN in November 1960.
Assistant CIC Officer Downs is
33 years old, a native of Columbus,
Ohio. Assigned to AEWRON
ELEVEN since August 1960, he
alternates on watch with Lt.
Murphy.
Technicians McCasland and
Greene constantly check the elec-
tronic equipment to see if it is
operating normally. Should re-
pairs be needed, they have enough
tools and spare parts aboard the
airplane to correct most malfunc-
tions and failures. ,
McCasland enlisted in the Navy
in June 1956. He is 25 years old
and his hometown is Lisbon, Lou-
isiana. Greene, although a year
younger than MacCasland, has
one more year in the Navy. He
enlisted in March 1956 from his
home in Morristown, Tennessee.
They Also Serve
Twelve crew members have been
mentioned individually. The re-
maining 12, named in the crew
roster appearing several para-
graphs above, perform duties
which have already been describ-
ed.
Tempus Fugit
Time passes in segments of
work and rest on patrol. Each
position is relieved at about three-
hour intervals. During rest per-
iods men may sleep, read, play
cards, chat, or otherwise relax.
If they are hungry, they may have
a hot meal or a sandwich. It is
most important that they return
to work refreshed and keenly al-
ert. “Constant Vigilance” is the
watchword of the barrier; if vig-
ilance were relaxed even momen-
tarily, the barrier would be no
more effective than a sleeping
sentry.
Eventually BARFORLANT
OPCON sends word that Crew
ONE has been relieved on station.
Soon someone sights the relieving
WV-2 coming to continue the pat-
rol and everyone is happy to be
heading for the hangar for a
well-earned rest. The rest does
not come immediately however.
After returning from the bar-
rier, an hour or so is required to
clean up and post-flight the air-
plane. During that time the PPC,
co-pilot, CIC Officer and his as-
sistant are in OPCON for de-
briefing. There they review the
flight and discuss the crew’s per-
formance.
Finally, everything has been
done and Crew ONE can return
to the quarters they left some 18
hours earlier — weary — a bit
dishelved — another bout with the
weather won — another patrol
successfully accomplished — know-
ing that for another day they
helped keep the Free World pro-
tected behind the Atlantic airborne
early warning barrier.
New Form Aids
Scholarship Seekers
Washington (AFNS)—The Air
Force Aid Society announced com-
pletion and distribution of a new
simplified form, of the ready-to-
mail variety, for use in applying
for scholarship assistance from
the Gen. Henry H. Arnold Educa-
tional Fund. Copies of the new
form have been sent to Air Force
Aid Society at all major com-
mands. Use of the form is expected
to eliminate some delays in getting
necessary application material to
potential students.
