DON'T CHANGE it THING
.. . ^.. r . ..... - ..I,..
jlx uouujl&auhs ana ^.ne people sr.ay pre
tty much as they are now, I4-am sometime
going to express my appreciation to the
Chaplain*s Division of the Bureau of Na
■fral PerAonhel for lending me to Adak* I
think that. dnl£ the finest4- personnel
have been sent to ouf*Asub-artic refuge.
Both officer and enlisted personnel have
been most friendly, 4-helpful, and ready
and willing to do a top-notch job. It4-is
a spirit that ranges through all £ates
and ranks among thefolks4-1 have met.
Second, *1 am grateful to Chaplain Ro
berts for the work he has been carrying
on here. There is evidence he has worked
hard* There is"evidence he has been much
concerned about the spiritual, moral,and
physical welfare of All hands. I would
thank him also for a thorough job*of br
iefing4, arid turning over the duties of
Protestant Chaplain* This 1A perhaps to
be expected, but i feel that/ C&aplaiA j
Roberts put forth the extra effort.4-that
will make "my beginning easier* 4-l€ was
ve£yAmuch the opposite of a »short term1'
attitude.
Third, 1 am happy to be again
working with the "Spiritual‘Triumv
irate", as Chaplain Maritato so
aptly put it in last week*s Sun* I
had looked forward'to again working
with Chaplain Maritato and Chaplain
Hutton,“of MCB-9. ' u
Now, to make ' a request. Let the
Chaplains continue to be you* rel
igious leader s.Come for assistance,
with questions, or for a friendly
chat* Most of all, come to church#
This is the center of our activity.
Come and with us have your faith
deepened as we together worship our
God.

now-but if you*re planning on
takirig an examination for pay grade
E-4 through E-6 or E-8/E-9 which
will be cohdudtgd during August,you
will find that time just don't sta
nd- still, lhat is why,right now, as
you are reading this,you should say
to yourself-IT'S TIME TO:STUDY
HARD AND AS 0F2EN AS POSSIBLE FOR
THOSE AUGUST EXAMINATIONS;
Maybe you had good intentions some
months ago - they've slipped by and
you haven't opened your beoks-or
study guides since ode of your bud
dies stopped by and talked you into
going to ‘the Bering Building inst
ead of studying that night —^ (your
benefactor, by the way, isd»t elig
ible to go up for the next higher
rate, so why should he care*> - Well
its still not too late. Don't, try
to tell yourself you don'tooere or
that: you don't have a chance — $ou
want that extra stripe and extra'
money just as much as those who go
Up afld jiiake it* They did something
about it* They studied.(Cont. next y
