Military news around the world
Air Force
A F modifies OER
The Air Force has modined the
Officer Effectiveness Report (OER)
system which will give reviewing of-
ficials more responsibility and
flexibility in awarding ratings. The
revised guidelines will retain its 22
per cent ceiling on "Is," but drop for-
mal controls on the "2s" and "3" blocks
on OERs. The change becomes effective
for the next majors cycle—reports to be
completed between Sept. 1 and Dec.31,
1977.
Under Sec. sworn in
Dr. Hans M. Mark was sworn in re-
cently as Under Secretary of the Air
force by Secretary of Defense Harold
Brown in ceremonies at the Pentagon.
Navy
New system tested
A new system providing "one-stop"
personnel and disbursing service now is
being tested in the Washington, DC,
area.
The new pay and personnel administra-
tive support system, called "PASS", will
simplify such routine procedures as
check-in/check-out and changes in
dependency status.
Basically, the plan calls for the
consolidation of personnel and pay func-
tions with a head office covering a
major geographical area. The PASS
offices will be linked to Bupers and the
Navy finance center through the use of
computer terminals.
The target date ror completion of the
program is 1981.
NESEP ends
The Navy Enlisted Scientific Educa-
tion Program (NESEP) has been terminated
because of lack of funds.
No new NESEP applications will be ac-
cepted. Those persons who have started
the FY 78 application process will be
informed by Oct. 1, 1977 of their
Scholastic Aptitude Test results so they
may apply for other programs. All
remaining FY 77 selectees will be al-
lowed to enroll in school.
The final NESEP graduate is expected
to be commissioned by the end of FY 82.

School starts today
It seems that the traditional "No
more pencils, No more books," last day
of school chant was just bellowing from
the school busses a few weeks ago, but
the whole summer has passed by and this
morning the busses returned.
Many of the faces on the busses have
changed as a result of the summer
rotators but the busses still echoed
with the same enthusiasm despite the end
of summer vacations.
A feeling of newness filled the air
as the students, many of them new,
entered the newly painted classrooms to
discover new books, new teachers, and
new friends.
At the A. T. Mahan kindergarten 98
youngsters, many with tears in their
eyes, ventured from their mother's
security at the school doors to enter a
new and unfamilar world. Little did they
know that in just a few short years they
would be sending their children into the
same type of world.
A total of 772 students filled the
classrooms at the A. T. Mahan Elementary
and High School today, beginning yet
another year of growing.
The 522 students in grades kinder-
garten - six began the year with a full
day of classes today while grades 7-12
simply attended a class selection period
for their respective grades and won't
actually attend regular classes until
Monday.
BOOKS, BOOKS, AND MORE BOOKS. English/business teacher Gary Harms is surrounded
by all kinds of books as he prepared them for distribution for the arriving
students today.
Enlisted Mess to host
first day of school supper
For your family's first day of
school diversion, the Enlisted Dining

style family dinner, beginning at 4:30
p.m. today.
The "Italian Family Night" menu
will consist of beans with bacon soup,
simmered spaghetti with meat sauce,
baby beef balls, assorted pizzas,
steamed frankfurters, potato chips,
broccoli polonaise, hot garlic toast
and hot dog buns.
