IVew Year - Time To
Reflect And Resolve
New Year’s Day is traditionally a time to review the past
and look to the future.
It is a day when men examine their conscience, deter-
mine the course they will take, and pray for help in follow-
ing that course.
On this New Year’s Day we of the armed forces would do well to
pray for the understanding’ and trust between nations that must come
before there can be a lasting peace.
We would do well to rededicate ourselves to the principles of free-
dom upon which our nation is built and for which our young men have
died in past wars, and are dying now.
We would do well to rededicate ourselves to our nation’s search
for peaceful solutions to the problems of the world, and our own un-
flagging support of our government and heritage.
No nation can effectively deal with her enemies from a position of
weakness without sacrificing freedom. The United States must be
able to depend upon the strength of its armed forces to deter its ene-
mies, and to give weight to its arguments for peace.
We are that strength, and we must stand firm in our determination
to support our country in every way. (APPS)
Navy Needs Abbreviations
by Bill Wedertz, J02
CINCLANTFLT! Sure, you say, that’s an easy one —
Commander-in-Chief, U. S. Atlantic Fleet. Okay, try this
one: DLA, or TENOC. The first is “Dislocation Allowance”
and the latter is the Navy’s “Ten Year Oceanographic Re-
search Program.”
Some Navy abbrevations are relatively easy to decode,
however, almost every Public Information Officer (PIO)
and Journalist (JO) has been fa-<>
ced with one or more which they
could not decipher. When you
have this problem, who do you turn
to?
Abbreviations Present Problems
Well, that can sometimes be a
problem itself. Naturally, if you're
able to determine what the abbre-
viation is relative to it makes the
solution that much simpler. Many
calls are made to personnel offices,

M. Wilson, CTSN, was advanced in

cian Third Class in ceremonies con-

comm centers and other facilities,
and sometimes they pay off. But,
what do you do when no one
seems to know the answer?
Currently there are only a few
reference books available that list
naval abbreviations in one volume.
This is the reason for this letter
and a request for your help in
compiling such an edition.
New Guide Being Formed
The Office of Information has
backed me up in citing the need
for the “Navy Abbreviation Guide”
and I am asking for your assis-
tance in several areas in order to
help speed up the publication of
NAG, (There’s another one).
If you would jot down a few of
the not-so-common abbrevations
and any which you haven’t been
able to decipher, I will include
them in the guide.
Need Your Help
There are many abbreviations
which are peculiar to certain
areas within the Naval Establish-
ment and relatively unheard of
at other commands—I am especi-
ally interested in obtaining these.
Your contributions are welcome,
as well as your suggestions. Cor-
respondence may be addressed to
me either at the Tester Office or
as Editor, Tester, U. S. Naval Air
Station (NAS), Patuxent River,
Md.

The New Year — what will it bring of marvel and surprise? We
can be sure of just one thing — the New Year will bring change.
Some things, some people need changing. Resolutions are in order.
One: to make better use of the station’s facilities:
The library’s 14,000 volumes
The Hobby Center’s six hobby shops
The Field House’s gym, weight room and steam bath
The courses of University of Maryland and others
The Chapel’s fellowship of worship and study
Two: to make better use of our free time:
Meeting new friends
Learning new skills
Advancing ourselves in our profession
Developing morally and spiritually
These are a few of the things you can do to make the new year
a good one. Dare to change old habits. Dare to launch forth a new
adventure. Prepai-e yourself now for the changes of 1966.
No man can choose what coming hours may bring
to him of need, of joy, of suffering;
But what his soul shall bring unto each hour
To meet its challenge — this is in his power.
