(T), Mount Moffett), Gerry HIGDON, Chief Communications Technician, USN and

"Senior” to their rate, add a star to their collor devices, and enjoy an in
crease in prestige and pay. Chiefs HAXEL, HIGDON and LIPPERT are advanced to
Pay Grade E-8 effective the 16th of December. To mark this milestone in their
Naval careers, the three are jointly sponsoring a "wetting down" in the "21
Club" from 1400 to 1630 on Monday, the 17th of December*
Speaking of the "21 Club", a few words about this popular NAVCOMMSTA activity
might be interesting. The name "21 Club" is derived from the minimum age limit
of its patrons. As some of you may already know, the Club serves mixed drinks
and beer and it is located adjacent to the Snack Bar in the recreation area of
NAVCOMMSTA.
The ”21 Club" is managed by Joe MELIa, Commissaryman Second Class, USN, who is |
attached to the NAVST** Navy Exchange. As Manager, Joe is responsible for the ^
operation of the Club and Snack Bar and the supervision of 25 full and part
time employees.
In addition to Joe MSLIA’s management, the administrative procedures and regu
lations for the operation of the. Club are established and reviewed by an Advi
sory Council of enlisted men from NaVCOMMSTA and an officer representative ap
pointed by the Commanding Officer, N^VCOMMSTA. The Advisory Council meets.- •
during the second week of each month and forwards its deliberations to the
Commanding Officer for his approval,
LT Arthur H. SULLIVAN, USN is the Commanding Officer’s representative to the
Advisory Council, while the other members are currently as follows:
MeVICKERS, F.K.. SKCA
THOMPSON, R. (nj, SKI
PONTON, W.E., UT1 4
DORRYCOTT, T.J., CT1
CONIIME, F.R., CT2 '
DUNCAN, K.L., CPL, USMC
USI3S, E.W., PFC, USA
Any comments or suggestions for the improvement of tho operation of the Club
should be brought to the attention of the Advisory Council or one of its
members*
The'"21 Club" can be reserved by groups or individuals for special occasions
(such as the "wetting down" mentioned above), provided that one weeks1s notice
is given the Manager.
A few more-words on promotions: • Official information received by NAVCOMMSTA
indicates that LT Robert C.' MARTIN, USN has been selected for promotion to
Lieutenant Commander, and just as this edition went to press, notification was
received that three other NAVCOMMSTA officers, LTJG Edward A. BLEVINS, USN,
