The Job Fair is designed to provide special employment assistance to veterans and servicemen seeking jobs on Oahu. More than 3,000 Oahu employers have been contacted and the Job Fair Committee Chairman, Henry S. Kuniyuki reports that employer response has been encouraging. Bus transportation to the Fair from K-Bay will depart from Pless Hall Dining Facility at 7:45 a.m, and from Anderson Hall at 8 a.m. The bus will leave the HIC to return at 4 p.m. Employers and representatives will be on hand at the Fair to recruit veterans for job openings or provide job information.

There are about 9,500 unemployed veterans in Hawaii, according to Kuniyuki, and the State Employment Service Office is reeeiving about 700 new job applications from veterans every month. "So although the fighting in Vietnam is over for our forces, there is still an urgent need to offer our returning veterans jobs that will help them adjust to civilian life," Kuniyuki stated.

Does the Physical Fitness Test (PFT)

adequately measure the physical

fitness of a Marine? In My Opinion

PFC ROBERTO RUGGIERO, A Co., 3rd MOTORS

"I feel the PFT is adequate. The new policy that requires you to get an hour of PET three tittles a week is asking a little bit too much - once a week would be plenty. I don't think the PET should be broken down into first, second and third classes. It should he one class - pass or fail"

SSGT. PETER BANKS, H&MS-24

"A man doesn't even have to work-out to pass this MT. I think the present program should be increased as

far as the running goes - add a few more miles. When a man fails the test,

it's usually because of the run and there's more emphasis put on running. If conducted correctly, I definitely feel that working out three times a

week will keep the unit in shape."

MEZA ZANOTTI

CPL. ROBERTO MEZA, A CO., 3rd ENGINEERS

"I guess it does measure fitness to some degree, but I believe the run should be increased - running three miles is no big thing. The tests - running, pull-ups and sit-ups are similar to things you would have to do in a combat situation; the same muscles are used. All-round, it's a fairly good test."

Editorial

Article 15 Myths Eavesdrop on a bunch of "barracks lawyers" rapping about

Article 15 sometime. You'll probably come up with about the same amount of factual information that would emerge from a similar discussion on what causes warts.

Article 15 is a legitimate part of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). But it is not a club which can be used by a commander to discipline anyone he doesn't happen to like, disregarding clearly spelled-out military legal rights. Your basic legal rights don't just disappear in a puff of smoke when you enter the service.

First, not just anyone can impose an Article 15-only the commanding officer of a unit, or (on rare occasions) someone to whom the authority has been legally delegated. And it can only be given for some clearly stated act or omission which has breached the UCMJ.

An NCO can't give an Article 15 on his own. He has to convince the commander that it is merited, so had better be sure of his facts. And-contrary to widespread misunderstanding-neither can a Judge Advocate. His job is to make sure that everything is done by the book.

How many Service members know that they don't have to accept an Article 15? They can say "no," and will then probably be given an opportunity to present their cases at a court-martial, more like a civilian trial.

Before requesting a court-martial remember this: although an Article 15 does go onto a military record affecting promotions, assignments or security clearances, it doesn't return with you to civilian life as a court-martial conviction would. There is no need to even mention an Article 15 to a prospective employer.

If you're about to have an Article 15 laid on you, make sure that the commander (who is just as interested as you are in getting at the truth), knows all about your side of the story.

How? It's quite simple. Talk to a legal officer immediately-before you sign anything. That's why he's there. That's what the government pays him for-to advise you. (You can't beat the price, either. It's free.) He will see that your specifically stated right to have written statements or other pertinent documentary evidence attached to the file is observed.

Now wait just a minute before you run out and nail up a shingle as a gilt-edged barracks lawyer! These are just a few sketchy highlights of a very complex subject. Go to an expert, the one best qualified to lead you through legal bramble patches-your legal officer. It's your right.

Chaplain's Column

Anchor the Soul in Love By Chaplain P.J. FERRERI

The importance of an anchor to a ship is generally taken for granted by sea-going personnel. An anchor is used to moor a ship to the ground beneath the surface of the water. A ship may drift around its grounded anchor depending upon the wind and current conditions. But when the dnft is too far, then the ship is

dragging its anchor and emergency steps must be taken. The environment of our everyday life is such that we need to have spiritual

anchors to keep us from aimlessly drifting too far. In Paul's letter to the Galatians, he speaks of certain "fruits of the spirit" that include love, toy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. In his 1st Corinthian letter, he makes reference to faith, hope and love. I believe we can consider these elements to be "anchors for the soul.

A characteristic of every shipboard anchor is that it must have good holding power. It must be able to dig in to the floor of the body of water and stay there. Our spiritual anchors potentially have good holding power when they are put to their intended use. The storms of life, however, do put these anchors to the test, and it is up to us to improve their holding power. We do this by growing closer to God through prayer, Bible reading and studying, and through quiet period of devotion with God. It is His divine power working through our own will-power that will strengthen the holding power of our anchors.

The holding power of an anchor also depends upon the kind of bottom on which the anchor rests. Rocky bottoms, sandy bottoms, muddy bottoms, all have different properties for holding the anchor. But the bottom upon which our spiritual anchors should be grounded is solid and firm - ground that will accept our anchors and hold them fast. For the ground is the Word of God which includes the gospel message of Jesus Christ.

There is a hymn we frequently sing "On Christ the Solid Rock I Stand, all other ground is sinking sand" This is to say that there is no variance in the holding quality of the spiritual ground - the only variance is in the condition of our anchors. In what condition are yours?

An anchor needs a long scope of connecting chain to the ship in order to achieve its maximum holding power. I like to believe that the chain we attach as

individuals to our spiritual relationship with Almighty God. The stronger It is, the less likely it will be of coming apart. The longer it is, the less the danger of the anchor dragging.

If your relationship with God is strong and deep, life can give you pretty much of a beating without any adverse effects. And remember that a chain is as

strong as its weakest link! So take stock of your spiritual anchors and anchor chain. There is room for improvement for all of us.

LCPL. STEPHEN ZANOTTI, 2/3

"I don't think the PFT really gets it. For one thing, the test isn't supervised close enough. It's easy to cheat on the sit-ups and three-mile run. I also think the run should be longer and more events - like the rope climb - should be added to build up endurance." BANKS

DAYDREAMING Can Cause ACCIDENTS!

What Makes You Tick? By GySgt. Phil Hartranft

K-BAY-Corporal Barry Smith is a 22-year-old Marine who directs a lot of weight on his job...40,000 pounds!

What makes him tick? Smith is a crew chief on the new LVTP-7 AMTRAC. He goes through his

military duties and liberty hours ticking with a zest to live his life to the fullest. Now in the middle of his four-year enlistment, he recently reflected on his

past and his plans for the future. "I don't really have any definite plans right now. I've been here at K-Bay for

21-months and should soon be getting orders to another station. I like working with the amphibian vehicles but I have a hankering to move on to something else."

A native Texan, he is married to another resident of the "Lone Star" state. Her name is Donita. She is waiting along with their three children in Arlington, Texas, for his return.

I asked him why he selected AMTRACS for his MOS and this drew a quick response: "Simple. At ITR 1 was told I would be going to Cook school and I just knew I wasn't cut out for that type work. I requested AMTRAC school because some of my friends had told me about it. The next thing I knew, I ended up at Camp Pendleton going to the AMTRAC school at Delmar."

After attending the month-long school he was assigned here to "D" Company, 3rd AMTRACS. He has driven both the old LVTP-5 and the new LVTP-7 and has his own opinions about each vehicle.

"If I was in combat I think I would prefer the LVTP-5 because it is heavier than the new model and I feel it could take more punishment. However, some important features about the new LVTP-7 in combat would be its increased firepower and the faster speeds it can reach." With a grin he added: "This would help ease your mind anytime."

The new vehicle can more than double the speed of the old LVTP-5 and the .50 caliber gun does a lot more damage than the .30 caliber previously employed on the old AMTRAC.

The former Mansfield, Tex., high school football player enjoys Oahu beaches to the fullest extent possible.

"I just plain like the water. I do a lot of snorkeling, swimming and water skiing on my liberty time. I think Special Services has a great program when it comes to water sports and making the necessary equipment available to interested Marines." SMITH

A carpenter for four years prior tojoining the Corps, he is now responsible for the proper care and maintenance of a $128,860 vehicle and the welfare and safety of his crew, which consists of a gunner and driver.

"I like the responsibility and I feel the morale on our 'track' is high. The guys (his crew) enjoy training the most when we are actually in the field with the vehicles. We don't have much area for land training but as you can see we don't have any problem when it comes to water exercises."

The question of enlisted living areas came up and he voiced his opinion on this subject. "I personally feel the barracks are suitable. However, the new barracks being built (near Mini-gym) and as I understand it there are more to come, will

definitely help improve morale of the Marines living in barracks." This Marine, who likes AMTRACS because "they can take you almost

anyplace you want to go", eventually feels he would like to try something new if he stayed in the Marine Corps.

"I think AMTRACS are great and are definitely needed in the Corps today but I have a natural curiousity for life and I want to learn all I can about everything I can."

like most Marines away from their families he doesn't like the loneliness of being separated from his family. However he feels he is taking something from his tour here with Brigade.

"It's been a long two years being away from Donita and the children but I

feel I will take some good personal experiences back to the mainland with me. I

don't feel I could have gotten them anywhere else." His enlistment will be up in January 1975 and only one thing is now certain.

He keeps ticking right on with a new zest to seek out all the facets of life and try to master them.

That's what makes Cpl. Barry Smith tick. What makes you tick?

Noise Affects Your Health OAHU - You know what noise

really is, you hear it every day. The cars, the planes, radio, television, all these and many more, make up your noisy environment, both on the job and in your home.

What effects, if any, does all this noise have on you?

Noise is a technical term, which is not easy to define. Generally, "noise" refers to any acoustic sound which is judged by a listener as "undesirable." It can be loud or soft. It all depends on what effects certain sounds have on you, which will classify them as noise. What may be music to one person, may just be a "bundle of noise" to another individual. While certain soft noises may be irritating, it is the loud, high intensity sounds, that we are concerned with. Constant exposure to loud noises, without proper ear protection will eventually result in a hearing loss. Also, loud noises interfere with one's sleep and rest, (if that person is in a noisy location such as next to an airport), thus creating another physical problem to the person's health.

Obviously the danger at home isn't as great as the danger on the job, but the potential hazard is there nevertheless.

Unfortunately, most music today, especially the teenage "Rock," is usually played at "earsplitting" levels in most clubs and in the homes. This makes it very hard to impress upon the public the danger that everyone is exposed to. It's not the music, but the volume and intensity that it is played at, which does the damage. People can enjoy the music just as much at a reasonable volume, as

they can at a very loud one. On the job, where there is

hazardous noise, ear protection is a

must. It is a fact that if the workers wear ear protection they will be able to communicate much better with each other, because ear protection blocks out the interfering noise but lets the speech come through more clearly. Ear protection does not hamper speech, it aids it!

Noise reduction at the source, is

always the most desirable method of eliminating the hazard. When this is

not practical however, steps may be taken to reduce noise intensities, by modification of a process or design or by changing the direction of the sound radiation.

forms. If friction is the source of a noise, simple lubrication may eliminate or reduce the noise level.

If it is the noise from a jet engine, simple rotation of an operating engine may direct the path of noise to an uninhabited area, thus reducing or eliminating a hazard or nuisance problem.

The principle of absorption is

used in many cases. Marerials that absorb sound may be installed at any point between the noise source and the listener.

In most cases however, such as on the flightline, it is up to each individual to use his personal protective devices to preserve his hearing and make him a more proficient worker.

Security Tightens OAHU - If you are about to

become a passenger on a military aircraft be prepared to be exposed to strict hijack security procedures. Signs have been posted at all military air terminals.

All hand-carried luggage and parcels, including ladies' handbags, will be inspected and all travel orders will be authenticated. Also, all passengers will be subjected to a personal screening, before boarding the aircraft.

Air travel officials point out that the air terminal is not the place for a

hijack joke or so-called humorous remarks about bombs. Hijacking or air piracy is a serious offense. Fines up to $5,000 and imprisonment up to five years can be levied for willful or malicious false reports regarding the damaging or destruction of civil aircraft.

Security forces are alert for anyone making any comment pertaining to bombs, explosive devices, weapons, or piracy. Joking or not, that person is subject to immediate arrest.

K-Bay Library Celebrates

National Library Week '73 By Mrs. Nola Crawford

Station Librarian

K-BAY -- The 1973 National Library Week starts Sunday and will be observed throughout the United States and military installations worldwide.

This year's National Library Week themes are "Get Ahead, Read" and "Widen Your World". The Station Library here will celebrate the event with a photography contest, free bookmarks and a drawing for free prizes. Each newcomer to register for a library card during the week (April 8.14) will be given a free paperback book.

The American Library Association and the National Book Committee have, for the past 16 years, sponsored National Library Week to create, a better-read, better-informed American public by encouraging lifetime reading habits and stimulating greater library use.

The first Marine Corps Library at Kaneohe opened in 1953 with 10,000 volumes. Today the library offers military personnel and their families over 22,000 books and 125 magazines and newspapers.

A collection of more than 900 phonograph records include foreign language instruction, job-improvement skills, and poetry as well as

music-from popular to classical-to meet every taste.

The library's tape room contains reel-to-reel, cassette and cartridge recorders and players in addition to record players. A copy machine and typewriter are also available to library patrons.

Supplementing a permanent collection of adult and children's books is a revolving collection of 220

"Best Sellers". If the book you want is

not in the Station Library, an inter-library loan can be arranged by the library staff.

Open seven days a week for your convenience, the library is ready to

answer reference questions and eager to help find the right material for your recreational and educational needs.

Take this opportunity during National Library Week to Widen Your World.

Pearl Harbor Golf Classic Brings Rain, Wind, UFOs?

By Capt. Jack Hudson

MARINE BARRACKS, PEARL HARBOR - The rumor that Martians are attacking is pure fabrication Although, it is true that on March 20, hundreds of UFOs, divots, clubs, bags and a few golf balls were sighted in the vicinity of the Navy-Marine Golf Course, as members and guests of Marine Barracks, Pearl Harbor participated in the 1973 Spring Golf Classic.

First place in "A" Flight went to Bob Queen of the FMFPac Staff, guest of Mr. and Mrs. Calvin F. Simerly; with first place in "r Flight going to Larry Monds of the FMFPac Band.

The "A" Flight runner-up, Jack N. Hudson, during one of his infrequent press interviews, proclaimed that had it not been for the strong wind, rain and some poor luck on the front nine holes, a day in which he salvaged only two "birdies," he surely would have matched his bowling average and won the

tournament. The consolation prizes (the most

prestigious awards) went to Larry Ross

of the I & I Staff, 4th Force Recon, and Donald K. Hulse of Security Company, as they captured the "A" and "B" Flight "Hacker" trophies.

Recapping the winners of the awards, which were presented by Colonel A.I. Thomas, Commanding Officer, Marine Barracks are:

Bob Queen -"A" Flight, 1st Place; Jack N. !Judson -"A" Flight, 2nd Place; Bill Tasker-"A" Flight, 3rd Place; Al Curtis-"A" Flight, 4th Place; Larry Ross- "A" Flight, "Hacker" Larry Monds "B"Flight, I st Place; Gary Wantz -"B" Flight, 2nd Place; Bill Turnage-"B" Flight. 3rd Place; Ted Larson "B" Flight, 4th Place; Don Hulse- "B" Flight, "Hacker" Bob Queen-"Closest to the Pin Award" Bill Tasker- "Longest Drive Award" Joe Ancheta Jr.-"Longest Putt Award!:

Annapolis Is Looking for A OAHU -- You've heard about

the Naval Academy - the word "Annapolis" has long been synonymous with integrity, loyalty and honor. You've been told of the stringent entrance requirements, demanding mental, physical and moral standards, as well as the many benefits and rewards. And you're interested, but where do you begin?

First, an individual is appointed to the Naval Academy only after successful completion of the nine-month Naval Academy Preparatory School at Bainbridge, Ma.

This school does exactly what the name implies: it prepares the, individual academically, physically and

Officers' Wives' Club Aids Valiants K-BAY - The Valiants are a

group of youngsters 9-19 under the consul of Waimanalo School Math teacher, Clarence Hoe. At their beginning in 1967, their activities were directed mainly toward youth in windward Oahu. But now the Valiants are working on a long range plan that will include ALL the people of Hawaii.

They have been granted a 65 year state lease on 20 acres of land in Waimanalo. It is a lush green shelf nestled in the Koolaus. The name Hale Le'a (Joyful House) has been selected. A set of plans has been prepared, the necessary permits for their project have been granted, and the Marine Corps has volunteered to perform the onsite grading according to the plans.

Hale Lea will be a major educational-recreational youth directed facility. When completed it will combine the best aspects of a day camp, an overnight camp, a family camp, a conference center, a resort in the mountains, and a forest preserve.

To make this dream come true the Valiants are putting on a carnival on June 8, 9, 10, & 11th at the Block F area near Chinatown on Beretania. Our help has been requested and help in any of the following areas or with any suggestions would be most appreciated. For r now, they are collecting the following items: old nylon stockings, white elephants, plants, pledges of food (cakes, cookies, etc.), fancywork, homemade items, art work, jellies, junior size baby food jars, peanut butter jars, mayonnaise jars, entertainers (they will have a stage) and people to man booths.

If you can help In any way, call

Midge Brown at 254-1482. Pickup of items might be arranged or you can deliver to 524 Reeves Rd. (hilltop). Workshops may be arranged later. Volunteer and meet some good neighbors and work on a very worthwhile project.

emotionally for the demanding environment of the Academy.

To be eligible for the Preparatory School, the applicant must be a United States male citizen at least 17 years old and less than 20. He can never have been married and must be motivated towards a career as a Marine Corps officer. A GCT of 120 or higher is required and education requirements of 15 high school college preparatory units. An acceptable unit is one year's work with a minimum grade of C. Of these units, three should be in English and two in mathematics. One or more units of chemistry or physics is highly beneficial.

If selected, the applicant must have 24 months obligated service as of July 1 of the year he will start Preparatory School.

If qualified, the next step is to contact your unit's Career Planning Center at 257-3244 or 2403. The Career Planner's Office can assist and advise personnel interested in the program.

Program; Readiness

(CAD) program. The program's objective is to centralize administrative deadlined vehicles belonging to the 1st Marine Brigade and keep then in a

constant state of combat readiness in an isolated location. This permits the scheduled maintenance intervals to be

extended and reduces manpower requirements.

Hangar 73 on Ford Island, Pearl Harbor met all the prerequisites for the program: Its location is remote, a

security patrol is always on duty and the large hangar space provides the needed shelter.

Thirty-eight Marines form the CAD Platoon which travels from the Station to Ford Island via helicopter daily. Air transportation reduced travel time by 60 per cent. Before the platoon had been trucked to the island.

Once the Leathemecks reach their destination, work begins on keeping the 529 vehicles and assorted equipment in a constant state of combat readiness.

VMFA-212 deployed to Vietnam in April, 1972 to help stop the communist offensive, so did their vehicles and equipment - demonstrating CAD's efficiency and readiness.

Lieutenant Colonel J. W. Brown, PSIS commanding officer, described the CAD program as "taking a great deal of vehicle maintenance work off the hands of Brigade units, and added "the CAD program is one of a kind."

To many Marines the word "CAD" may hold different meanings, but to the men in the CAD Platoon, the word means READINESS!

the applicant is first interviewed and counseled by a board of three officers convened at the individual's unit level.

Once this has been completed, the commanding officer will personally interview the individual and make his recommendation.

Being selected for the preparatory school is no guarantee of an appointment to the Naval Academy. As a competitor, final selection for appointment will be

made by the academic board at the Naval Academy on the bases of all-round ability at the time of the entrance examinations for the preparatory school.

Those are a few of the requirements - what about the rewards?

The first reward is education. A four-year liberal arts or engineering curriculum leading to a baccalaureate degree is offered.

The second benefit is a regular commission in the United States Navy

or Marine Corps. Take tip the challenge - contact

Fair Housing Law Protects the Rights

Of Renters/Buyers OAHU -The Federal Fair

Housing Law, celebrating its fifth anniversary Wednesday, makes discrimination based on race, color, religion or national origin illegal in

connection with the sale or rental of housing.

In the fair housing statute (Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968), Congress declared a national policy of providing fair housing opportunities for everyone throughout the United States.

The only way to eliminate discrimination is by registering any complaint with the Housing Referral Office, Bldg. 455. The Housing Referral Office will provide assistance and advice on redress procedures, including investigation by the responsible government agency.

Complaints may be made directly to the Housing and Urban Development-Federal Housing Administration (HUD-FHA) Insuring Office located in the Bishop Trust Building, Honolulu. If this action is

taken, the Housing Referral Office should be notified at 257.3652.
