He was also involved in the development of a new control system concept which will enable a mooring winch to operate rapidly under precision tension and control while keeping the motor voltages and current within acceptable limits. Healey said that the concept is still an in-house techno-1 ogy at Brown & Root.

From the Dir Mil Ops by CDR Paul Buege
A reminder that we have a Military Cash Awards Program (MILCAP} for suggestions, inventions, and scientific achievements. The program parallels and is similar to the Civilian Incentive Awards Program.
There are opportunities for improving operations throughout the Navy and everyone can take advantage of them, no matter what your pay grade, enlisted and officer alike.
Remember, an effective suggestion program benefits everyone: the Navy, because good suggestions result in improved safety conditions, productivity, and services; the American people, because these improvements reduce the overall cost of government and reduce the tax burden; and you, because you receive recognition and rewards for an adopted suggestion. Even your best ideas won't help if you don't submit them.
The superintendent can grant cash awards up to $2,500 locally and the Secretary of the Navy has the authority to make awards up to $10 ,000. The full participation of military personnel in improving the efficiency and economy of school operations is highly encouraged. Pl ease contact LlJG Walter Kasun, the MILCAP administrator, at ext. 2183 for details.
OSWC welcomes all with coffee and comedy
New students and their spouses are cordially invited to attend the next OSWC welcome aboard coffee Aug. 28, 1930-2100, in the Barbara McNitt Ballroom.
The get-together is an excellent opportunity for new arrivals to obtain valuable information about NPS, La Mesa and the Monterey community. "It al so offers the opportunity to meet others who share the NPS experience," said Tami Iselin, an OSWC member.
CRAMALOT, a comedy skit on student life at NPS, will be presented at the coffee. Anyone connected with NPS is invited to view the performance. True to NPS life, according to CRAMALOl performer Debbie Schlechte, the skit is "even more funny after you've been a student here for a couple of quarters and then go back to see it. II
Reservations should be made before Aug. 21 by calling Caro 1 Stew art at 649-4247, Tami Iselin at 649-6435 or Judy Majors at 375-8141.

Marines review graduate education •
What do Marine Corps o f ic ers think about NP S and its graduate education programs? Recent issues of the Marine Corps Gazette offer some insights.
MAJ Greg Koons wrote in the Gazette's May issue: ''What happens to those poor, misguided officers who volunteer for the special edu-. cation program? For the price of a master's degree are they stripped of their primary military occupational specialty? sidelined from the mainstream of the Marine Corps? and doomed to a meager 20-year career without hope of promotion beyond major?"
Koons goes on to say that, prior to his assignment as the Marines' graduate education coordinat. he was among the misinfor who felt that his career would be ruined if he 1 eft the trenc hes.
He provides "some newly found insights" and promotion statistics about the importance and value of graduate education for both the Marine Corps and an officer's career. ·
The Gazette foll owed Koon's article in June with a feature by MAJ Paul Stahl, a recent NPS graduate.
Said Stahl: "I'm glad I got there 10 days early to see the sights because on 10 July my free time was over. At the end of my first week of classes I felt like I was two weeks behind schedule, a feeling that became a real ity for the next 18 months."
In his article, Stahl provides a succinct snaps. of the rigors and rewards graduate education, and he credits the program for preparing him for greater service to the Marine Corps.
