THE WHITE FALCON
January 13, 1970
JARRELL NORTON
Naval station soon to have
new senior enlisted advisor
AOCM Thomas W. Jarrell, the weapons department leading chief, will
take over the position of the naval station's Senior Enlisted Advisor
from CSCM George F. Norton who is due to retire shortly.
Chief Jarrell has been here since August, and this will be his
first position as leading
chief. He has been in the Navy
for over 22 years, made chief in
1960, senior chief in 1965 and
was finally promoted to master
chief in 1969. In addition to
his regular duties, Chief Jarrell
will serve on approximately ten
different advisory boards. In
this position he will act as the
sounding board for all of the
station's enlisted men.
Chief Norton who will be giving
up the position shortly has been
in the Navy since Feb. 16, 1943.
He was promoted to chief in 1959
and made E-9 in 1967. During the
time he served in this capacity,
he has worked on numerous pro-
blems dealing with virtually
every facet of the navyman's life
on board. Chief Norton has also
been responsive to the complaints
of the dependents.
The very size of the naval
station and the complexities of
his job,ranging from being chair-
man of the recreation committee
to being on the board that meets
with the Admiral once a month,
makes it extremely demanding on
the chief's regular duties.

Z-57 places
responsibility
on individual
If we are to place the impor-
tance and responsibility of "the
person" in proper perspective in
the more efficient Navy we are
seeking, the worth and personal
dignity of the individual must be
forcefully reaffirmed.
This is the reason that Admiral
Elmo R. Zumwalt, Jr., Chief of
Naval Operations, gives in Z-57
for eliminating many petty poli-
cies and for standardizing others
that are inconsistently enforced.
Policy changes in Z-57 in-
cludes:
• The right of officers and
enlisted men to have sideburns,
neatly trimmed beards or mous-
taches, or to wear contemporary
clothing.
• Suspension of prohibition
against wearing clean, neat work-
ing uniforms or dungrees to and
from work.
• Authorization of wort
uniforms, dungrees and fli<
suits in all naval commissaries'?
exchanges, snack bars, dispensar-
ies, disbursing offices and other
service type facilities.
• Elimination of the require-
ment for officers and men to shift
into the uniforms of the day for
the evening meal except for cere-
monial or other special occasions
or by decision of the group of
personnel involved.
• At least one room of every
naval officer, CPO and enlisted
club permit the wearing of infor-
mal and causal clothes (sport
shirt). NAS clubs shall similar-
ly permit flight suits in at least
one room of each club.
• Where optional uniforms are
specified by the area commander,
this will mean optional to the
individual and not to the local
commands, except for special oc-
casions, such as inspections,
where uniformity is required.
• Prohibition of hasty pre-
par tion by fleet units for any
senior officer visit, i.e. freshly
applied paint.
• Elimination of requiremen
to certify possession of sufficii
funds or to acknowledge geogri
ical limitations for leave (excep1
from Vietnam where special regu-
