Dwight G. Rawls
Advanced to his present rate Monday,
Petty Officer of the Quarter CTM1 Rawls
has been with the Dual Access Tributary
Station at the Naval Security Group
Activity since May. He handles mainten-
ance work on teletype, cryptographic and
other communication gear.
"As the petty officer in charge, I'm
responsible for the day-to-day paper-
work, training and budgeting in addition
to the actual maintenance work on the
equipment," he explained.
The five-year Navy veteran is devoting
some of his off-duty time to furthering
his education by taking an English
course from the University of Maryland.
Petty Officer Rawls qualified for the
Expert Pistol Medal in December, and he
is a member of the NSGA pistol team.
Originally planning an unaccompanied
tour, the petty officer extended his
Keflavik tour and was joined by his
wife, Helen, and their two-year-old
son, Matthew, in August.

nance "A" School where he finished first
in his class, Sailor of the Quarter AOAN

"I repair and perform maintenance on
small arms, and I also handle ammuni-
tion. As an instructor, I give safety
lectures to pistol team members and
others on the safe use of small arms,"
AOAN Freiborg said.
Not only has the airman striven for
self-improvement through a college
course in personnel management but also
he is active in sports. He is a member
of the Weapons Department bowling, bas-
ketball and softball teams. He has
traveled on shopping tours in Reykjavik
and Keflavik and has visited other
locales in Iceland. Next month, he
plans to take a trip to Europe.
Clement Ned Jr.
Having worked as sergeant and cor-
poral of the guard, Marine Noncommis-
sioned Officer of the Quarter Sgt. Ned
enjoys both jobs and feels that his
men put out a maximum effort.
For the past 11 months, the sergeant
has performed as sergeant of the guard
of his section, a position normally held
by a higher ranking noncommissioned of-
ficer.
