Healey new chairman of NPS mechanical engineering department

Dr. Anthony J. Healey, a specialist in dynamic systems and control and a former manager of research and develop­ment with- the consulting firm of Brown & Root International Inc., assumed the chairmanship of the mechanical engineer­; ng department on Aug. 1.

Prof. Paul Marto, who has served as the department ~airman since 1978, will resume full-time teaching and ..r search in the fall and, next spring, will begin a sabba­

" 1cal at the University of London. Healey, 46, received his Ph.D. from Sheffield University

in 1966. Prior to his move to Brown & Root in 1981, he taught at the University of Texas-Austin, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Pennsylvania State University.

In recent years Healey has worked on prediction models for marine pipelines -- analyzing and computing factors sue h as configuration and stress for both rigid and fl ex­ibl e hose pipeline~

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.
