-\.. CRUITCOM Makes Goal

With a Little Help From Their Naval Reserve Friends The Navy Recruiting Com­

mand (NAVCRUlTCOM) made its "One Navy" goal for December 1979 - with the help of the Naval Reserve recruiting achievement_ This was only the second time since February 1977 that the Navy has reached its monthly goal for -ctive duty (regular and Reserve)

• ~

prior service, and ready mariner enlistments.

Navy recruiters enlisted 6,242 for the month of December, surpassing a goal of 6,035 by 103.4 per cent. For the first quarter of fiscal year 1980, Navy Recruiting attained 98.6 per cent of its "One Navy" goaL

In August and December 1979, non-prior service Reserve recruit-

NAVAL RE

ing contributed to the achieve­ment of the "One Navy" goal. In December, the Naval Reserve compiled an outstanding 140.1 per cent of its male goal and 116.7 per cent of its female requirement. These figures were more than enough for the Navy Recruiting

Command to go over the 100 per

cent mark. . The Naval Reserve in August

accessed 126.5 per cent males and 122.2 per cent females.

Naval Reserve in r~o eND Goals

Chief of Naval Opera­tions ADM Thomas Hay­ward has announced his objectives for 1980. In a memo to flag officers, unit commanders, commanding officers and officers in charge, Admiral Hayward said his objectives were directed toward one goal­running the Navy the right way.

Retention continued to receive CNO's number one emphasis, with several goals for the Navy to accomplish internally and other items for outside action being announced. Admiral Hayward called on Navy people a t a ll levels of the chain of command to inspire more satis faction and pride, and reaffirmed

- , If> detennination to obtain '-1tlore equitable compensa­

tion for Navy people. Citing 1979 as a good

year in ongoing efforts to make the best use of the assets the Navy has, Admiral Hayward stressed the importance of antici­'pating the effects of infla tion in order that we might execute the FYBO program with maximum efficiency.

In addition, Admiral H a y ward emphasized plans and programs to ~grade officer and en­-~,ted professionalism and ~tinue strong efforts in

the area of people pro­grams which offer all Navy people equal oppor­tunity and realize their value to the Navy.

Turning to moves di-

rected at streamlining operations and increasing fleet readiness, CNO directed strong efforts be made to reduce admini­strative burdens on op­erating forces, noting the strides already made have not totally filtered down the chain of command. Discussing the "One Navy" concept, Admiral Hayward indicated his ongoing support for a strong Naval Reserve, including seeking funding support for new construc­tion of Naval Reserve Force ships.

CNO concluded by di­recting renewed efforts on improving perceptions of the Navy. He called for a unified voice on issues of vital importance , and efforts on everyone' s part to reduce waste or excess costs.

TAR PN Career Progression Discussed What is the future of the TAR per­

sonnelman (PN) in relation to PASS (Pay IPersonnel Administrative Support System)?

This was the subject of a recent Chief of Naval Reserve, Naval Military Personnel Command and Chief of Naval Operations staff conference during which the possibility of an adverse impact of PASS on the TAR PN community was discussed. Plans are now underway to minimize these effects on the PN career pattern.

With the implementation of PASS into the Naval Reserve three concerns surfaced:

• The concept of operation of the PASS program is that PN tasks are done at the

PASS office; therefore, PNs belong to PASS. From this, it would follow that, after a period of time, PNs would be limited to experience in the PASS context only, resulting in the eventual elimination of the need for TAR PNs.

• PASS is expected to increase efficiency and reduce billet requirements, logically including TAR PN billet require­ments .

• PASS program policy has included the guidance that those residual functions necessitating the retention of PN billets should be supported by the conversion of these manpower spaces to YN billets.

During the CNA VRESINMPC/CNO conference, it was resolved that

20 Officers Sought for '265' Recall

The Chief of Naval Personnel has authorized the voluntary recall to active duty of 20 inactive duty Naval Reserve offi­cers under the provisions of Title 10, USC 265.

By law each service 8hall maintain officers of its Reserve component on aetive duty at the seat of government and at the headquarters responsible for Reserve affairs. The officers who are recalled will participate in the preparation and admini­stration of policies govern­ing the Naval Reserve.

The purpose of the program is to incorporate the viewpoint and exper­tise of drilling Reservists into the management of the Naval Reserve and to make Reserve policy more responsive to the concerns of the inactive duty Reserve community. It offers a maximum of four years of active duty; normally served in one billet.

A board will convene on April 21, 1980, to select officers for recall. Letters of application should be sent to the Commander Naval Military Personnel Command (NMPC-443), Department of the Navy, Washington, D.C. 20370 via the command holding the officer's service record.

The application should state the officer's date of rank, date of birth, earliest date available for recall, desired billet or billets in

Keep Your Eyes on the SELRES: ADM Hayward Admirnl Tho,rnn B. Hayward.

Chief of Naval Operations. remarlu?d at last year'. annual national conference of the Naval Reserve Asaociation (NRA) that the Naval Reserve h.a8 made a great deal of progres. in the lBBt year. Significant extracts pertain­ing to the Naval Reserve are reprinted below.

••••• "Keep your eyes on the Selected

Reservists. You are going to &ee an increasingly dynamic organiza­tion - an increasingly combat ready · team - an increasingly effective One-Navy concept.

"We can be pleased with the health and stature of the Naval Reserve these days. It haa made giant atridea in the last year. In New Orleans last year, I made 80me very strong commitments about the Naval ·Reaerve and the role of the Chief of Naval Operations in Reserve policies.

·"1 established a number of objectives early on after becoming eND. Qne of thoBe was related specifically and importantly to revitaliZing the Naval Reserve. Let's talk about some of th08e sub­objectives and what progreaa has been made.

"Firat, gaining stability in the Selected Reserve end strencth. We

have ended the fiacal year with 88,216 Selected Reeerviat.. In my judgment, 87,000 are now locked in, safe and secure. Furthermore, we have Completed the NAMMOS atudy of Selected Reserve requirements, ju.tifying to virtually everyone's satisfaction a force structure of over 100,000.

"Second, improvement of communications between active and Reserve component.. The communication thia past year between Admiral Palmer and myself hu been first rate, and the coordination around the fleet has been vutly improved. We intend to build on that performance through more penonal contact. During this past year, I have been able to vi.it a subatantial number of Reserve units, ob8erving them in their regular weekend training. In general, I have been well 88tisfied with what I haveaeen. In fact, I would admit that in moat reapecta the units were more ready than I had expected.

''Third, improvement in train­·ing. Here our progre88 hu been slower, but' we're building up a head of steam. Programming and budgeting support in OPNAV will ensure that the Selected Reserve accomplishes reali.tic training in a way that will directly support the specific active units they will

operate with. Our tl'aining devices and training techniques must be up to the challenge if the Selected Reservist is going to integrate effectively into the battle problem at the moment of call-up.

".All in all, from my perspective, it's been a good year for the Naval Reservists. We're up to 'all ahead standard' at this point. 1980 must be the year we reach 'flank' speed.

"My Naval Reaerviat objectives for 1980 are going to be u follows:

"Firat, let's make certain we maintain the momentum that we have now.

"Second.. we must understand what readiness is all about. Shortly, the Chief of Naval Reserve will be reporting to me on his new concept. related to readiness reporting. With that we will be able to make intelligent 88888amenta u to how to prioritize our resourcea into improved readiness. My policy is going to be tbiB: every Selected Reserve unit must be able to maintain a C·2 status or better. If we must ever call up the Selected Reserve for combat, that meana being ready to go into combat. C-3 or C-4 status doe.e not meet my definition of combat ready. The obligation of the Chief of Naval Operations, then, is to provide the resources for any Selected Reserve unit to

maintain its status at C·2 or better. If for reuon. of imprac­ticality, infeasibility or unafford­ability a unit is unable to maintain a C·2 status, then we must bite the bullet and set that unit aside. What I am striving for is a fully ready and prepared Naval Reserve.

"Lastly, I am going to preas more aggreaaively toward finding a .urface combatant alternativr for the Selected Re8erveIJ. We hav been studying new ship conceptlt-"'" over the last several months, and we are presently focusing in on final alternativeIJ. They mayor may not be affordable. That answer is not yet clear. What is clear is my objective to keep Selected Reservists involved in 8urface ship warfare, other than just the augmentation units. Like all other major iS8ue., it comes down to one of affordability. But 80mehow we've got to make it affordable.

"Our 'One-Navy' is a tw~way street - the active pulling for the Reservist and the Re8~;lIt pulling for the active. Today~" ill no other iaaue of J. _-../ importance to the Chief of NaVal Operations than the issue of manning our .hipe and aircraft squadroDfl with adequate numbers of properly trained people."

USS LEYTE Reunion?

I was aboard the USS LEYTE (CV 32) in the late 194015 and early· 1950s. I would like to contact someone who was on board at this time. Also, I'd like news of a LEYTE reunion which took place in Norfolk in early 1970. This information is really important to me.

Active Duty???

The career counseling manual states it is neces­sary to have two years active duty to qualify for retirement from the Re­serve after 20 years. However -many of us were separated a few days to several weeks prior to the completion of two years active duty.

Our career counselor says that the time will be rounded off to two years, but the manual doesn't say that. The recruiter say. that there is no"active duty requirement and all that is necessary is 20 good yeare.

Who is correct? BTl Brooklyn Park, MinD.

Title 10 U.S. Code, Article 1331 set. forth the requi~ ment. that mQt be met to tran·der to the Retired ReaervlI! and ultimately receive retired pay. The Bureau of Naval Pereonnel Manual, Article 3860520 lim theae requirementa also. The baaic law doea not require two yellrll active duty, or any other apecific period of active duty, be.erved to qualify for receipt of retired pay aa a re.tiIt of

Naval Re.erve aervice. The very baaic requirement ia to accumulate a minimum of 20 yean of qualifying service. For Re.erve retirement, a quaIi:fying year ill defined aa one in which a minimum of 50 retirement point. have been earned. A. you au aware, retirement pointa are earned through drill participation (48 drills equal 4B retirement point.), completion of Navy Correspondence Counes, 15 gratuitoua point. for each year of service in an active component of the Naval Reserve (either auigned to a unit, or uBigned to the Active Statua Pool). Point. are alao credited for each day of active duty or active duty for training. Although the baaic requirementa for eliaibility for Naval Reaerve pay do not include a apecified period of active duty, the law doee require that any member of the Re8erve componentli who wu a member prior to Aug. 16, 1945, have aerved on active duty (other than training duty) during the peri0d8 April 6, 1917 to Nov. 11, 1918 (Wwn, Sept. 8, 1940 to Dec. 31, 1946 (WWII) or June 26, 1950 to July 28, 1953 (Korean War). Thi. require­ment doea not apply if the initial entry into Reeerve com· ponent waa on or after Aug. 16, 1945. Check with your

Pierwatch

I am a career counselor in my unit and have a question. My unit has aaaigned E·6 and below to pierwatch requiring them to stay overnight in the duty barracks. If a man is asaigned one of the four hour watches between 1600 on Saturday and 0800 Sunday, he must stay overnight. Can a Reserve unit require members to stay for watches at night?

DPt, San Dielo, Calif.

BUPERSINST 5400.42E, paragraph 306 states, ''The minimum duration of a paid drill ahall be four houra. The maximum duration of a drill can be whatever time ia nece8Bary to accomplish the de8ired kaUting/miaeion. No more than two drilla may be performed in one day."

New FF(X) Frigate or Corvette Proposed For Naval Reserve

A new ship designed and constructed for the Naval Reserve.

training operations as well as capabilities necessary during crises or wartime.

In considering the FF(X) concept, a number of wartime missions are being studied, a CNAV-

RES source said, partic­ularly at the lower end of the · threat spectrum such as protecting sea lanes for the delivery of basic resources to the conti­nental United States.

Thi8 was one of the many topica addressed by Chief of Naval Operationlil ADM Thomas B. Hayward during his December 20, 1979, appearance before the Seapower Subcommit­tee of the - House Armed Services Committee on

'Fat & Jolly' Commander Trims Off 72 Pounds

Capitol Hill. . Admiral Hayward told

the subcommittee, "We are introducing a new initia­tive for the Naval Reserve - an FF(X) which will be a low-mix ASW (antisub­marine warfare) escort of proper capability to per­fonn the escort role."

The ·proposed FF(X), a frigate or corvette, would have characteristics appro­priate to Reserve peacetime

New RESCEN To House SBS

The Triad Armed Forces Reserve Center opened recently in central North Carolina to serve more than 1,000 Reservists.

The center, located between Greensboro and Winston-Salem, N.C., is named for the Triad area which encompa88es Greensboro, Winston· Salem and High Point.

In the future, a ship­board simulator (SBS) will be housed in the cenW to allow Navy personnel to practice combat condi­tions.

Deputy Assistant Secre­tary of Defense Harold W. Chase and RADM William J. Gilmore, USNR·R, commander of Naval Re­serve Readiness Command Region Seven, Charleston, S.C., took part in dedica­tion ceremonies.

A Naval Reserve com­mander has fought and won the battle of the bulge - he dropped 72 pounds in four months, went from a trouser size 42 to 34, and, as a result. lowered his blood. pre88ure and hope­fully extended his lifetime.

Commander Oonald R. Thomp8on, USNR. Com· manding Officer, Navy Regional Data Automation Center, New Orleans, La., went from 222 pounds to 150 pounds recently by eating only 500 calories a day and modifying his eating habits.

When he joined the Navy in 1949, Commander Thompson weighed 120 pounds. Through the years, he discovered fried potatoes for breakfast, fast food snacks, and alcohol.

In years past, the Navy told sailors to "shape up or ship out," but did not offer help in taking weight off, Commander Thompson said.

"I got tired of being told to lose weight and not being able to get medical help. . . I had begun to dislike myself and devel­oped the attitude that if I couldn't lose weight. I must not be able to do anything right. Fat was definitely not beautiful." he said.

The commander finally became tired of being "fat and jolly." He started attending an obesity clinic epecializing in fast weight

reduction. He learned about nutrition, the calorie count of food, and how to modify his eating pattern.

"My plan called for me to eat no more than 500 calories a day, to weigh every day and keep a log. I planned my meals ahead of time and put nothing in my mouth that was not on my list," he said.

Commander Thompson has these hints for the dieter:

-Drink from one to two gallons of water daily to ward off dehydration.

-Do not eat standing up - eat sitting down at a table.

-Drink as few calories as possible (liquid calories go down fast and don't satisfy you),

-Do not eat items not on your daily plan.

-Eat slowly. -Don't allow yourself

to become a "Pavlov's Dog" - one who drinks and eats every time a certain TV program is on.

-Give away clothes that no longer fit - that shows you mean businesl!.

• TACRON Reservists In IFortress Gale'

Selected Reservjsts from Tactical Air Control Squadron 1-119, Coronado, Calif., recently joined their active duty mobilization unit, Tactical Air Squad­ron (T ACRON) One, in a joint service exercise called "Fortress Gale."

Ships, aircraft and troops from the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force took part in the exer­cise conducted in Okinawa, Japan.

TACRON Reservists embarked USB BLUE RIDGE (Lee 19) at Subic Bay, Philippines , and made an amphibious landing on Okinawa. TACRON One operated from the Tactical Air Control Center (TACe) aboard BLUE RIDGE.

Reservists manned the helo control nets which direct all helo operations. The Reservists also re­ceived hands-on training

on Naval tactical data system consoles.

Two T ACRON Reserve officers were assigned 8S

liaison officers. One was with the Japanese Air Self­Defense Force at Naha Airport, Okinawa, and the other was Naval aviation liaison officer to the U.S. Air Force Radar Approach Control (RAPCON) facility at Kadena Air Base.

Object~ves ... (CQntinued from p·l)

Commanding llfficers at all levels have been directed to give CNO objectives high priority in 1980. They will have the important task of

applying these goals within their commands and of familiarizing all hands with the details necessary to meet these objectives.

1980 Objectives The Chief of Naval Operations objectives are: CNO 1 - Continue presaure toward resolution of

the retention problem CNO 2 Obtain optimum use of resources CNO S • Upgrade officer and enlisted profes­

sionalism CNO 4 • Provide emphasis on people programs

requiring special attention CNO 5 • Reduction of administrative burden on

operating forces CNO 6 • Sustain improvement in the Naval

Reserve (see below) CNO 7 • Improve perceptions of the Navy

'Reserve' Objectives CNO 6 • Sustain Improvement in the Naval

Reserve Good progress has been made. There are some

important hurdles yet to negotiate. 6.1. Ensure that active duty commanding offi·

cers shoulder more of the responsibility for the training and readiness of their Reserve components.

6_2. Complete implementation of the Naval Reserve readiness reporting system. Identify re­quirements to bring all unitB up to C-2 or C-l. Eliminate units which cannot maintain C-2, except when unusua) circumstances justify their retention.

6.S. Seek authorization for new construction NRF frigate/ corvette.

We mUllt continue to ensure that Naval Reservists are kept at a competency level with their active duty counter­parts through realilltic and conc entrated training during active duty periods. Whenever possible, Reserv· ists should receive training or practical application in the same duties that they will be expected to perform upon mobilization. There will likely be no 'start-up' time if we need to mobi­lize."

Admiral Moorer said that the ALN A VEUR supplements his objectives promulgated in 1979 in support of established Chief of Naval Operations objectives.

per cent bonus if held to maturity.

Series E Savings Bonds will no longer be sold over the counter at banks and similar institutions. Be­tween January and June, some organizations will continue to offer their employees Series E bonda on payroll savings pro­gramll, but by June 30, 1980, all payroll savings programs will be converted to the new U.S. Energy Savingll ' Bonds. All sav­ings bonds - old or new -earn interellt for their owners throughout the year.

U.S. Energy Savings Bonds, Series EE, retain the safety, convenience and security features of Series E savings bonds but with several changes:

• U.S. Energy Savings Bonds have a guaranteed life of 11 years.

• The interest rate on U .S . Energy Savings Bonds, will be increased from 6.5 per cent to 7 per cent for bonds held the full 11 years to maturity. Series E bonda that have not finally matured and U.S. Savings Notes ("Freedom Shares") will al80 receive the one-half per cent "energy bonus" if they are held for 11 years from the

date of the first semi­annual interest period that begim on or after Jan. I, 1980. Bonds and notes redeemed earlier will not receive the bonus.

• U.S. Energy Savings Bonds will be available in denominations of $50, $75, $100. $200. $500. $1.000. $5,000 and $10,000. The purchase price is one-half of this; e.g. a $50 U.S. Energy Savings Bond costs $25 to purchase, a $100 Bond costs $50, and so on.

• U.S. Energy Savings Bonds must be held for at least six months after issue versus two monthe for E bonds. This will improve the cost effectiveness of the program.

• Individuals can buy $15,000 yearly in U.S. Energy Savings Bonds (purchase price) compared to only $7,500 (purchase price) for the earlier Series E bonds .

• Savings Bonds con· tinue to have tax-deferral advantages. Owners never pay state or local income tax on the interest and they can postpone report­ing the interest for federal income taxes until their bond is redeemed or reaches final maturity. This means that bond· holders often can choose their best time to report interest, e.g. when they are retired or otherwise in a lower tax bracket.

"Attainments could not. be realized without the full cooperation and support of the Naval Reserve Co mmand.

'-t' Communication between the veteran and tint-term recruiter is euential for meeting our future goals."

For the first time since the inception of the NAVCRUITCOM in 1971, all non­prior service Re8erve programs were met or exceeded during October through December. Traditionally, the months of October and November have been poor production mont.hs for Reserve recruiting, Commander Kauffman aaid.

Analydn, the December success, RADM Floyd H. Miller, USN, Com· mander N A VCRUITCOM, recognized the importance of the proapect referral operation·Navy program (PRO-Navy). This is a referral card method for Navy personnel to provide Navy recruiters

).,......AI names of young men and women who miaht be int.ereeted in the Navy. PRO­Navy referral carda! are available in m08t commands. He aIao cited improved motivation, positive thinking, aggreesive­ness, better communicat.ion and a aufficient number of dedicated, hard workin, recruiters on board.

PN Careers ... {Contiruud {rom".1} convenion of reaidual PN billet. to YN or other ratinp 88 appropriate may be deferred until fiacal year 1983 to coincide with PASS Pha .. n (computerization). This will eliminate any ahort-term prob­lema of promotion opportunity. and demonstrate CNO concern for the TAR PN community, a CNAVRES apoketllman 8aid.

The CNAVRES lJOurce said it appears that the PASS program will have the effect of redefinina the PN ratin .. to some extent. However, a case may be made for 150 to 200 personnelman billeta outside of PASS after implementation of PhfUle II.

In t.he next several years, a voluntary and carefullY controlled conversion of PN II to YN may be required. The CNAVRES source said t.here currenUy is a lIubstantial interchangeability between PN and YN billet.. and auignmenta within t.he TAR communit.y.

RADM Frederick F. Palmer, USN, CNAVRES, said: "There ia no que.tion of the high value of our TAR penIOnneimen, and the rontinuini requirement for their skills and services. Aa the Navy transitiona to more modern adminilrtra­tive system.. "effort&: to enaure career opportunitiea for ambitious high performen will continue."

DeC- 7, 1941. PHOENIX was virtually untouched by the attack and Premo remained on the li,ht cruiser for two years of Pacific duty.

Then Premo transfelTed from the Naval Reserve and enlisted for four yean in- t.he regular Navy. He served seven yean on active duty (four in the regular Navy), 17 years u a drilling Reservist, and 16 years in atandby atatua. He earned battle stars on his Asiatic-Pacific service ribbon signifyini action in 12" campaigns.

Chief Premo operates a computer-cont.rf)lled hori­zontal boring and milling machine for Caterpillar Inc., York, Pa.

Upon his retirement, CW04 Barnes was a securit.y officer with Naval Reserve Securit.y Group, Director, National Security Agency (DIRNSA) Head­quarters 920.

Four Crash Victims Believe Running Improved Their Health

Many people run to increase their life span.

But a Naval Reeerve lieutenant commander's running recently increased the life spana of four pe0-ple. . none of them him.

Lieutenant Commander Ronald L. Beeley, USNR, Fleet Activities Okinawa 0176. NARU Point Mugu, Calif., started a recent Sunday morning by run­ning eight miles through the San Bernardino Na­tional Forest.

When he returned from the run 11 hours later he had more than jUlt a runner's tale to tell ... he had been instrumental in saving the lives of four victims of an aircraft cr88b.

Beeley was several miles

into the National Forest when he waa confronted by two hunters who said they heard a plane crash further up the mountain. LCDR Beeley then ran up the mountain traila throulh a dense fog, locating the crash site. He found four injured penons near the burning aircraft and three othen who were killed in the crash.

Using firat aid tech­niques learned during survival training at San Diego and Pensacola, LCDR Beeley - treated the victims' injuries and tried to keep them from going into shock.

One of the hunters returned down the moun­tain to seek help while the other remained at a fire

Rescue personnel arrived on foot at the crWlh site at 5 p.m. and carried the sur­vivors in litters down the mountainside.

When the fog cover broke further down the moun­tain, rescue helicopters that had been circling the area were called in to airlift the victims to medical facilities,

LCDR Beeley said he credited hiB Navy and Naval Reserve training for saving the four lives. He added however, "the next time I attend a CPR or sur­vivallecture, I am going to pay a little more atten­tion."
