beginning at 7 p.m.
The Enlisted Dining Facility will be of-
fering a special bill of fare on Wednesday.

More/Less, from 9
programming. And NBS, Det. 8, accomplishes
this with a staff that even at full strength
is half the size of some detachments.
"Our radio department is being run by
four radio personalities that work six days
a week. They log a lot of long hours on the
air and don't get many days off," he says.
The senior chief also has words of praise
for the station's three civilian engineers,
who also work some very odd hours. "It's
not unusual for them to come into work at
2 or 3 in the morning so that equipment can
be put in good working order for the next
broadcast day."
One thing that has made the job of pro-
viding NATO Base residents extended ser-
vice easier in spite of the long hours, has
been an extensive renovation of the NBS
facility. Now approximately 95 percent com-
plete, the main television control room was
physically expanded to allow for the addi-
tion of the satellite equipment and the two-
channel operation. Most of the work in the
radio section was of a cosmetic nature --
thus providing staffers with a more comfor-
table environment in which to work; however,
a new room was built for the FM automation
system which features forced-air cooling.
In addition, more office space was provided
and more spare part space was built to al-
low adequate storage facilities for the new
satellite system.
Birthday greetings have been extended by
both Admiral James D. Watkins, Chief of
Naval Operations, and RADM Ronald E. Narmi,
Commander Iceland Defense Force. Both mes-
sages stress the importance of the indivi-
dual contributions of Navy men and women,
around the world and here in Keflavik.
The CNO's message follows:
"As we celebrate our Navy's 208th anni-
versary, it is appropriate to step back and
remember the source of our strength and su-
perb performance. Without a question, it
is you.
"We are a spirited Navy, alive and ready
to sail with the next tide. We are -- as
always -- on watch and on station around
the world, from Caribbean to Mediterranean,
from the shores of Lebanon to the Eastern
Pacific off Latin America. We are building
to 600 ships and there is a noticeable
bounce in our step. No matter whether you
wear the uniform-of-the-day, or the uniform
of a reservist, retiree, civilian or Navy
family member, it is you putting meaning in
our national commitment of "Peace Through
Strength." A Navy's true strength is not
measured by counting ships or aircraft, but
is found in the quality of its people. It
is your spirited professionalism which makes
our Navy great.
"While details of our passage through
this coming year and the ones that follow
cannot be foretold, our heading and course
are clear and true: We must be strong and
we must be ready whenever and wherever the
Navy team is needed.
"I thank you for your dedicated support
and tireless performance over the past year.
I know you will continue to stand a tight
watch on our nation's security and ensure
our Navy remains a ready force for peace.
Happy birthday and God bless you all."
RADM Narmi notes our 208th birthday as
"an appropriate time to reflect on past
glories and to contemplate opportunities for
future service to our country.
"In the past 30 years our Navy has be-
come increasingly identified with such buzz
words as 'supersonic,' 'atomic' and 'elec-
tronic.' Certainly these high technology
sciences have enabled us to become tremen-
dously more effective in our struggle with
the foe. And yet, for 208 years, it has
not been the technology which has made our
Navy great, but the people. You are the
key element and it is your skill and dedi-
cation which will be decisive in combat. Your
performance of duty here in Iceland is a
continuation of 208 years of commitment and
sacrifice. You can be proud to take your
place with other Navy men and women serving
around the globe.
"Best wishes and happy birthday."
