PO review board
to check E-7-E-9’s
service records
A petty officer quality con-
trol review board will convene in
Washington in March to review the
service records of the Navy's
master, senior and chief petty
officers.
The Navy considers a quality
control review is an integral
part of insuring that the career
enlisted force consists of the
highest caliber personnel availa-
ble . The board was first con-
vened in 1970 and has since met
periodically as a tool to assist
in achieving the goal.
Previous review boards have
recommended immediate transfer to
the Fleet Reserve of CPOs who
were performing below accepted
Navy standards. For chiefs in
this category who did not have e-
nough active duty for retirement,
letters were written to command-
ing officers with instructions to
counsel the sub-standard perform-
ers, giving them the opportunity
to improve or face actions rang-
ing from reduction in rate to
administrative discharges.
SAC’s Commander-
in-Chief to retire
Gen. Bruce Holloway, Commander
-In-Chief of the Strategic Air
Command since Aug., 1968, will
retire from the Air Force April
30 after 35 years of service.
A graduate of West Point in
1937, Gen. Holloway gained his
first combat flying experience
as a fighter pilot with the Fly-
ing Tigers in China. He became
commander of the group after its
activation as the Army Air For-
ce's 23rd Fighter Group. During
his tour in China, he was credit-
ed with shooting down 13 enemy
aircraft.
Gen. Holloway commanded the
412th Fighter Group at March
Field, Calif, in 1946. The 412th
was the nation's first jet-equip-
ped flying organization.
He commanded the U.S.Air For-
ces in Europe from July, 1965 un-
til his appointment as Air Force
Vice Chief of Staff on Aug. 1,
1966.
Navy Wives Service
Information Program
to be held Jan. 24-2 7
A completely revised and up-
dated curriculum will be offered
in the 12-hour Navy Wives Service
Information Presentation to be
conducted Jan. 24-27. Courses
will be from 1 to 4 p.m. in the
Boy Scout Hut, Bldg. T-185.
A multitude of information is
offered in these presentations,
which are made by authorities in
the varied fields being covered.
Wives of both career Navymen and
first termers are sure to benefit
from lectures and hand-outs cov-
ering pay, retirement, medical
and dental benefits, as well as
the career patterns and assign-
ments of their husbands. The
roles and responsibilities of the
wife in a Naval career are cov-
ered, too. Course completion
certificates are given those
attending.
Previous presentations here
have proven successful, and many
of the revisions to the course
are the result of suggestions
from previous students and les-
sons learned by the instructors.
Free nursery service at the
base nursery will be provided for
mothers attending the course.
The nursery is located near the
Boy Scout Hut.
For further information, and
registration, call the NAVSTA
Career Counselor extension 6289.
NATO base E-4’s are
now 56 Club members
All NATO base personnel in
pay grade E-4 are now official
members of the 56 Club.
In compliance with a recent
CNO directive, all E-4's here are
now afforded the privilege of
Senior Petty Officers' and First
and Second Class Petty Officers'
sections of Enlisted Men's Clubs.
The change results from recom-
mendations of the CPO Advisory
Board to enhance the prestige and
accord Navy E-4s privileges equi-
valent to other armed services.
Locally, it is realized that
the influx of new personnel into
the 56 Club will result in some
overcrowding so, on occasion, it
may be necessary to limit patron-
age at special functions.
