onsider yourself fortunate. Within a short time, you will be
living and working in one of the most beautiful areas of the
country. Here's an advance welcome to the Navy on the
Monterey Peninsula.
This book was put together to help you prepare for your
move and to provide a guide during your first few weeks in the area. Once
you're settled, this guide also will be a handy reference for services and
activities.
For more detailed information about history, tourism and area
recreational spots, you are encouraged to contact the area chambers of
commerce.
Here's one tip, though, before you begin your move: Don't pack away all
your winter clothes for the mover to take. Even though you will be in
sunny California -and the weather is beautiful- it does get a bit chilly at
times around the Monterey Peninsula, especially in the mornings
and evenings.
The
Naval
Postgraduate
School:
Reporting
Aboard
a
ersonnel with orders for duty at the NavalPost-graduate School are required to report dressed in the uniform of the day. Stop first at the Quarterdeck, located inside the main entrance of Henmann Hall,
to have orders endorsed. Then, during regular working hours(0800-1630,Monday through Friday), go to the Correspondence and Records
Office in Room 131, Herrmann Hall.
A new program, called
"One Stop Check-In," allows students to complete the check-in process within a couple of hours at one location. The program is scheduled prior to the start of each academic quarter.
Reporting-ininfonnation can be obtained in advance
by calling the
Correspon-dence and Records Office,
commercial (408) 646-2789 or autovon 878-2789. Non-Navy personnel should call 646-2021 or autovon 878-2021. After working hours,
the Quarterdeck is a good source of information; call
3
(408) 646-2441 or autovon 878-2441.
Navy pay and personnel records are maintained by Personnel Support Activity Detachment, Monterey (PSD), located in the East Wing of Herrmann Hall. Navy personnel will be directed by the Correspon-dence and Records Office when to report to PSD for in-processing.
Bachelor
Quarters
Herrmann Hall looks more like a hotel than an academic facility. In fact, it was once the Hotel Del Monte, a large 19th century resort. It is still a hotel for some, and might even be where you spend your first night in Monterey.
The NPS Bachelor Officer
Quarters (BOQ) are divided into temporary and perma-nent resident rooms in Herrmann Hall. Permanent rooms are available to single military officers on perma-nent change of station orders. Requests to be placed on the PC!) waiting list should be submitted to the NPS BQ officer upon arrival.
Temporary BOQ rooms house Defense Resources Management Education Center and Aviation Safety Program students and others assigned to NPS on orders. Reservations should be made as soon as an arrival date is known.
Bachelor Enlisted Quarters are located in Buildings 205 and 259 on Curiningham Road.
All officer and enlisted bachelor personnel assigned to NPS or its tenant com-mands and all those on T
ADI
TDY orders must report to the Central Assignment Record Desk (CARD), next to the Quarterdeck, for room assignments and keys. TAD personnel that cannot be accommodated in Herrmann Hall will be booked into contract quarters hotels through the BOQ office.Further information may be obtained 24 hours a day by calling the CARD, (408) 464-2060/69 or autovon 878-2060/69.
Temporary Family
Quarters
The Navy has no tempo-rary family housing in the Monterey area. However, nearby Fort Ord has guest housing to accommodate families regardless of military service or grade. Reservations should be made 60 days in advance of arrival date by phone, mail or in person by contacting Fort Ord Guest Housing, P.O. Box 65, Fort Ord, Calif. 93941; (408) 242-3181 or 394-8103, autovon 929-3181. Located in Martinez Hall at Fort Ord, the Guest Housing Office is open seven days a week from 0645 until 2300. Because the Monterey Peninsula is a resort area, regular motel reservations must be booked in advance, especially during the summer
months. There are also many annual events such as the AT&T Pro-Am Golf
Tourna-ment, Monterey Jazz
Festival, Can-Am Auto Racing at Laguna Seca and the California Air Show,
which make it difficult and costly to obtain accommoda-tions on short notice.
Civilian
Personnel
The Navy is one of the Peninsula's largest civilian employers; over 1,000 people are employed in jobs ranging from scientific and research
positions to trades, adminis-trative and clerical positions.
There are many job opportunities for spouses at the Postgraduate School. Permanent civil service employees enjoy a generous annual leave and sick leave program, a retirement program, health and life
in-4
surance, and opportunities
for advancement and overseas employment.
Additionally, spouses can often find employment opportunities through job fair programs sponsored by the personnel office. These job fairs bring employers from major peninsula businesses
to the school to recruit new employees.
To obtain information about job opportunities or employee benefits, contact the Civilian Personnel Office located in Room 129,
Herrmann Hall, at the Naval Postgraduate School. The telephone number is (408) 646-2001.
ne of the main concerns in moving to the Monterey
Peninsula is to find living quarters. There is an 877-unit
officer housing area at nearby La Mesa Village. Enlisted
family housing is located at Fort Ord.
Unfortunately, government housing additions on the
peninsula have not kept up with demand and private rentals have been at
a
·
premium for many years. The rental market is active and prices
continually change.
Rents are generally less expensive in Seaside, Marina and Salinas, but
expect to pay $550 or more for a one - bedroom apartment. Two-,
three-and four-bedroom units are appreciably higher.
Prospective home buyers can expect to pay more for less than at their
previous duty station. Median selling prices for housing in area
communities are: Pebble Beach, $395,670; Carmel, $346,170; Carmel
Valley, $375,560; Monterey, $247,583; Pacific Grove, $234,750; Marina,
$171,920; and Seaside, $127,333. In Monterey and Carmel building lots
range from $85,000 to $150,000.
The
Naval
Postgraduate
School:
La Mesa
Village
more than half of the
Naval Postgraduate School
student families live in this government housing
com-plex, located about one and one-half miles from the
school campus.
La Mesa is a self-contained village that offers a convenience store, beauty
salon, six tennis courts, little league fields and numerous playgrounds. A public elementary school, La Mesa Grade School, is also located there. Its school year is designed to conform to the NPS schedule.
La Mesa Village offers 34 floor plans. Housing designs
range from two-story townhouses to single homes with fireplaces, to quadra-plexes and duquadra-plexes. Yard
size varies.
Your rank and the number of children you have deter-mine which type of housing is available to you.
If sufficient choices are available, the housing office may offer you two alternative floor plans. Open choices of specific floor plans cannot be accommodated. If you don't like the first housing unit offered, you may pass it up. The second plan offered must be accepted or your name will be removed from the housing waiting list. You may reapply one year after being dropped from the list,
6
but a new control date will be assigned - the date you reapplied.
La Mesa Village features four housing areas. Wherry Housing consists of 449 units ranging in size from 811 to 1,622 square feet. With its
combination of Field Grade
(04-05) and Junior Grade (01-03) quarters, it is the oldest and largest area of La Mesa Village. All Wherry kitchens have been remod-eled and dishwashers have
avy Housin
No problem. An application can be found on page
49 of this book. Be sure to include a copy of your
orders when you mail it in.
The Wherry Housing area has both one- and two-story units, ranging from two to four bedrooms (some with studies), one to two baths and 117 units have carports.
Capehart Housing consists of 150 Field Grade Quarters (04-05). Capehart housing ranges from 932 to 1,393 square feet with two to four bedrooms and one to two
baths. All homes in Capehart have attached carports.
The Wherry or Capehart homes have medium to large lawns and are surrounded by green, open areas.
Funded Townhouses, Junior Grade Quarters (01-03) have from three to eight units per building. Most of the 160 units are two-story; all have three bedrooms but
7
none have fireplaces or carports. Most of the units have small yards and all have enclosed terraces. Living areas in these units range from 1,171to1,228 square feet.
Funded Townhouses, two-bedroom Junior Grade (01-03); three- and four-bedroom Field Grade (04-05) are the newest in La Mesa Village. These multiple dwellings, built in 1969, consist of four to eight units per building. All are two - story. Living space ranges from 1,031 square feet with two bed-rooms and 1 1/2 baths to 1,406 square feet with four bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths. As with the other Funded Townhouses, there are no carports or fireplaces. Only a few of them have large yards.
All of the quarters in La Mesa Village are wired for 110-volt washing machines and 220-volt dryers. Com-mercial cable television is available, but outdoor TV antennas are prohibited.
Application for Navy housing must be accompa-nied by a copy of orders. Control date for placement on the waiting list is based upon the date of detachment from the previous duty station, provided advance application is made prior to detachment date and the date of detachment is confirmed within 10 days of arrival in the area, or the date that you clear government quarters, whichever is later.
Mail the completed application (on page 49 of this booklet) and a copy of your orders to: Superinten-dent (Code 43H), Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey California, 93943.
Separate waiting lists are maintained by grade catego-ries and family size but not for specific types of quarters (i.e., Capehart, Wherry or Funded). Separate waiting lists for two-, three-, and four -bedroom requirements are maintained within each of the following categories: Senior Officer- Commander or Lieutenant Commander; Junior Officer- Lieutenant and below, including all warrant officers.
The minimum number of
bedrooms to be assigned, based
upon family size, is:
Couple 2 bedrooms
Couple and
1 child 2 bedrooms
Couple and 2 children,
same sex
under 10 2 bedrooms
Couple and 2 children, both over 10 years
3 bedrooms
Couple and 3 children

Couple and
4 or more children
4 bedrooms
Forfeiture of BAQ and

includes all utilities except telephone and cable
televi-sion. Kitchen ranges and refrigerators are provided.
If you have any
addi-tional questions, contact Housing Director Greg
Murphy at (408) 646-2322 or

Private Housing
If you opt for living in private housing, here are some tips.Housing prices are high on the Monterey Penin ula. Shop around. It may be a good idea to take out a mail subscription of an area newspaper for everal weeks. The classified advertisements can tell you a lot about the area and its housing prices. There are two daily papers in the area to serve you, the Monterey Herald and the Salinas Californian.
The Fort Ord Housing Referral Office conducts frequent surveys of rentals in the civilian communities. Surveys show the communi-ties of Seaside, Marina and
Salinas are relatively cheaper, while Monterey,
Pacific Grove and Carmel are
the most expensive.
Before you begin to negotiate for private
hous-ing, you will be required to report to the Housing Referral Office located in Martinez Hall at Fort Ord. The telephone numbers are
(408) 242-2668 or 242-6344· ' autovon 929-6344. The office has a current listing of rental and sales opportunities that may be personally
re-viewed. This information normally is not given out over the telephone or by cor-respondence.
Before finalizing a lease agreement for housing in the
local community, pass the lease document through the Postgraduate School Legal Office before you sign it. The lease should contain a
so-called "military clause" or similar statement that provides for early termina-tion of lease under the
Sol-diers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act. Unless the lease has this statement, you are
not protected against liability to a landlord if you must terminate the lease early.
Household Goods
The Personal Property Office at the Naval
Post-graduate School handles household goods shipments to and from the Monterey area for all Defense Depart-ment personnel assigned to the Naval Postgraduate School or its tenant com-mands.
When autovon (878-2151) is not available and urgent communication concerning a
shipment is necessary, the Household Goods Office will accept collect calls from a
service member or spouse at
( 408) 646-2151.
Delivery and unpacking
services are generally
12
available Monday through
Friday. You are responsible
for making delivery
arrange-ments with the Household Goods Office, Building 221,
East Wing, Herrmann Hall Room E-107 A. Hours are '
0800-1530 weekdays. Please make certain your delivery address is correct
and keep your appointment with the carrier. If the carrier
tries to deliver on the date you select and you or your
authorized representative are not present, you will be billed for the waiting time and redelivery costs.
Inspect your goods immediately upon delivery and report any damages to the Household Goods Office as soon as possible. Unless notification is made in writing within 70 days, the
carrier will be liable only for damages to goods unpacked by the carrier. Delays in reporting damaged or
mi sing goods will result in
reductions in the amount of your claim honored by the
government
Military personnel on PCS
orders have up to 90 days temporary/in-transit storage at government expense. If you are unable to accept delivery within that period, contact the household goods
officer for information concerning an extension of
the storage period.
Those assigned
govern-ment quarters, family or
bachelor, are eligible for non-temporary storage at
govern-ment expense of household goods unusable in assigned
housing. BOQ and BEQ residents needing
non-temporary storage are
required to obtain a
"state-ment of eligibility" from the housing officer. Check with the Household Goods Office for additional information.
Schools
The Monterey Peninsula Unified School District offers an excellent school system
which includes:
Elementary - Kindergarten through Grade 5.
Middle School -Grades 6 through 8.
High School - Grades 9 through 12.
As part of the educational program at all schools, the district provides comprehen-sive reading, language arts and math programs, includ-ing readinclud-ing and libra-ry media teachers at each location; special science and music resource teachers at the elementary level;
resource specialist teachers in language arts and math at the
secondary schools; special
learning disabled students;
classes for mentally gifted
students; and alternative
ele-mentary programs available
through application.
The schools which La
Mesa housing area students
attend are: La Mesa
Elemen-tary School (649-J 872),
Walter Colton Middle School
(649-195 l) and Monterey
High School (649-1004).
The staffs of these schools are familiar with the prob-lems of military dependents
and help children adjust to
the new school system.
The state of California
requires a physical
examina-tion for all grades. Proof of
physical examination must
be presented on the first day
of school attendance. If your child does not have proof of a physical examination from
another school, arrangements
can be made for an exam
through the Anny Medical Clinic at the Presidio of Monterey. Forms for the examination may be obtained
at the school during the
registration period prior to the start of school.
All new students must present up-to-date DPT, polio, measles (rubella) and
mumps immunizations.
Parents have the opportu-nity to participate in the
instruction of students
through volunteer work as teacher aides, library assistants, office helpers and serving on school advisory committees. Contact the school's administrative office
for further information.
For younger children, the NPS Preschool is available on the NPS grounds in Building 238. Services are for 3- to 5-year-old children of all military and civil service employees of the NPS complex. For
informa-tion, call 646-2734. The
Child Development Center is
also located in Building 238
for children from four weeks
to 10 years old. There is a waiting list for weekdays and reservations are required at
all times. The center is also
open on weekends.
There is a preschool
located at the Presidio for
3-and 4-year-olds, and a
pre-kindergarten class for those
children who will attend
kin-dergarten the next school
year. For information, call 378-8101.
The Navy Nursery School
Association is a non-profit,
nonsectarian preschool for
3-to 5-year-old dependents of
students and faculty of the Naval Postgraduate School. The school is located at the NPS Annex on Airport Road
in Monterey (three blocks
east of the Monterey County Fairgrounds). The Nursery
School also offers a six-week
summer program called
"Summer Fun." Call 375-7562 for more information.
Health Care
The primary health care facility for the Naval Postgraduate School and its tenant commands on the Monterey Peninsula is the Presidio of Monterey PRIMUS (Primary Care for the Uniformed Services) Clinic located in Bldg. 422, Kit Carson Rd. The Salinas PRIMUS Clinic located at
945 Blanco Circle, serves
mainly dependents and retirees.
The civilian-operated PRIMUS clinics provide convenient medical care to military personnel and eligible beneficiaries 365 days a year. The clinics
provide a full range of
pri-mary care services typically
found in an outpatient clinic or doctor's office. PRIMUS physicians and nurses are on duty to treat you and your family with primary care and treatment for small injuries, common illnesses and general medical problems re-quiring prompt attention.

Family Service
Center
There are many advantages to career military service, including training, advance-ment, travel and retirement benefits. Private industry is hard-pressed to match them, but there are also drawbacks.
Compared to civilians, military families rarely have a chance to put down roots. Frequent moves disrupt famdy life, rarely go smoothly and often cause real hardship.
Packing and storing household goods, finding quarters, getting children enrolled in schools and finding employment for spouses are some of the factors that may cause anxiety for the career officer or enlisted sailor.
To help, Family Service Centers provide infonnation about the new duty station and the surrounding commu-nitie . They specialize in providing the answers to anything and everything the military family, single parents and individual service members need to know.

Located in Room 039 (the basement), Herrmann Hall, the NPS Family Service Center helps with relocating to and from the Monterey area, individual counseling and family counseling.
For newcomers, the center has compiled lists of short-and long-term housing available with information on schools, shopping, medical services, childcare services, telephone and utility hook-ups.
Spouses seeking employ-ment will find lists of jobs available, as well as help in developing job contacts through local business organizations and counseling on interviewing techniques.
Once you're here, the Family Service Center stays on the job, offering referral for marital conflicts and other family problems, stress management sessions and counseling and referral for help in conquering problems with smoking, alcohol or drugs.
And, when it comes time to move on, the Family Service Center will help, with "welcome aboard" packages from around the world. Each new duty station is different and those differences can mean problems to the unwary and unprepared.
The Family Service Center merely formalizes a long-standing Navy tradition, summed up by the words, "The Navy takes care of its own."

Postgraduate
School:

he idea for a graduate education program for naval officers first emerged in the late 19th century but, ini-tially, the concept found few advocates. With Marconi'sinvention of the "wireless" in
1901, the Wright brothers'
flight in 1903, and the global trek of the steam-powered
White Fleet from 1907 to
1909, belief that advanced
education for U.S. naval officers could be intrinsically
valuable to the Navy gained
support.
On June 9, 1909, less than four months after the
completion of the record-set-ting world cruise of the Great White Fleet, Secretary of the
Navy George von L. Meyer
signed General Order No. 27,
establishing a school of marine engineering at
Anna-polis.
This small program, con-sisting of 10 officer students and two Navy instructor ,
would later become today's
Naval Postgraduate School. The Navy secretary's order
placed the fledgling school
under the direction of the
Naval Academy
superinten-dent, who was charged with securing "ample use of the educational plant of the
Naval Academy to student and instructors of the school without interfering with the instruction of midshipmen."
This translated into two attic rooms being set aside for classroom and laboratory
space for the school.
Within three years,
Meyer agreed to a proposal to change the school. On October 31, 1912, he signed Navy General Order No. 233 which renamed the school the Postgraduate Department of the Naval Academy. The
order established courses of study in ordnance and
gunnery, electrical
engineer-ing, radio telegraphy, naval construction, and civil
engi-neering, as well as continu-ing the original program in marine engineering. With
the additional curricula,
enrollment increased to 25.
Officers who attended the
school finished their
aca-demic programs at civilian institutions such as Yale, Harvard, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and
Johns Hopkins and Columbia universities.
In the decade of the
again reorganized. Its name was changed to the Naval Postgraduate School; new curricula were added, such as aerological and aeronautical engineering; student enroll-ments increased and the
school accepted its first inter-service and international officers.
During World War II, Fleet Admiral Ernest King, chief of naval operations and commander-in-chief of both
the Atlantic and Pacific fleets, established a commis-sion to review the role of graduate education in the Navy. The recommendations from this group, the Pye Commission, were regarded highly within the Navy and Congress. In 1945, Congress passed legi lation to make the school a fully accredited, degree-granting graduate institution. Two years later,
Congress adopted legislation authorizing the purchase of an independent campus for the school.
A post-war review team, which had examined 25 sites nationwide, recommended the old Del Monte Hotel as a new home for the Postgradu-ate School. The Navy had come to Monterey during World War fl, leasing the Del Monte Hotel in early 1943 for a preflight training school, and subsequently using the facility for other training programs. Negotia-tions with the Del Monte
Properties Company led to
the purchase of the hotel and
627 acres of urrounding land for $2.13 million.
In December 1951. in a move virtually unparalleled
in the history of academe, the Postgraduate School moved lock, stock and wind tunnel across the nation, establish-ing its current campus in Monterey. The
coast-to-coast move involved 500
students, about I 00 faculty and staff and thousands of pounds of books and research equipment.
Rear Adm. Ernest Edward Herrmann supervised the move that pumped new vitality into the Navy's ef-forts to advance naval
sci-ence and technology.
Since that time, the student population at the Postgradu
-ate School has grown to approximately 1,800. with students corning from all service branches of the U.S. defense community, as well as from the Coast Guard. the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the services of more than 25 allied nations. Today. the school provides more than 30 programs of study, ranging from the traditional engineer-ing and physical sciences to the rapidly evolving space

he Naval Postgraduate School was created with animportant mission in mind: to develop naval leaders who
have both operational and
analytical skills.
Today's Postgraduate School is a place where jun
-ior officers can acquire the technical acumen needed to
excel in today's rapidly
changing warfare environ-ment and acquire the funda-mental skills and understand-ing necessary to brunderstand-ing new technologies to the fleet - to
convert invention into
com-bat readiness.
Education at NPS is prepa-ration for the unknown, the unseen and the unusual. It's preparation that enables each officer to refine their analyti-cal and decision-making
skills, and to develop crucial talents to guide their future
service.
Navy Secretary H. Law-rence Garrett ill, calls the Naval Postgraduate School
"the front line of the future."
Guiding this unique institution are Rear Adm. Ralph W. West Jr.,
superin-tendent, and Dr. Harrison Shull, provost. They are assisted by Capt. Hillar Sarepera, director of
pro-grams, Capt. John C. Cook Jr., director of military opera
-tions and Dr. Gordon Schacher, dean of faculty and graduate studies. Senior
naval officers assigned to the programs directorate are
re-sponsible for academic coun-seling and military supervi-sion of officer students, while those assigned to the military operations director-ate are responsible for the
fa-cilities and a broad range of
support functions.
The educational progams offered at NPS today fall into
several categories:
Engineering and scientific studies leading to advanced or professional degrees, in-cluding PhD;
Management education to the master's level;
Graduate education in the field of naval intelligence leading to a master of arts degree;
Professional education
de-signed to build upon and
broaden the base of an
individual's professional naval experience.
To achieve the Navy's goals, 11 academic depart-ments and four interdiscpli-nary groups have been
established at NPS. They are:
Academic Departments
Administrative Science Aeronautics and Astronautics Computer Science
Electrical and Computer Engineering
Mathematic
Mechanical Engineering Meteorology
National Security Affairs Oceanography
Operations Re earch Physics
Interdisciplinary Groups Antisubmarine Warfare Command Control and
Communications Electronic Warfare Space Systems Operations
and Engineering
NPS operates year-round on a quarter system, with a two-week recess during the Christmas holidays and another two-week recess fol-lowing the Spring quarter
(the end of June). Students have no major duties while in residence other than applying
themselves to their studies.
The school's distinguished alumni include current Secre-tary of Energy James Watkins, Adm. Arleigh
"31-knot" Burke, Adm. U.S. Grant Sharp Jr., Adm. Hy-man Rickover, Apollo l 0 Commander Eugene A. Ceman, who
circumnavi-gated the moon, and Apollo 14 Commander Edgar D. Mitchell, who walked on the moon.

aculty research and studentthesis support in the more than 40 programs of study have rung up some impressive Edison-like accomplis h-ments. Among them:
• A highly reliable, sound-run heat pump that has no moving parts is being developed for use in spacecraft. The pump's primary application would be for refrigeration.
• NPS faculty and student mathema-ticians are working on "spread spectrum" broadcast systems that are practically immune to intercept and impossible to jam. At work are s uper-high-speed computers and mathemati-cal approaches that didn't even exist a few years ago.
• How can the visible exhaust smoke from missiles be reduced to lessen detection? NPS researchers are using a specially constructed combustion laboratory and such diagnostic techniques as holography for three-dimensional recording to answer that.
• Over a dozen Naval officers have been on student-faculty teams whose
research is responsible for a compact,
transportable, transducer test system that's already saved more in mainte-nance expense on a single submarine than it cost to develop.
• One NPS professor and his
students are charting the entire Arctic Ocean into grids 150 kilometers square by 50 meters deep; only one piece of an eventual ocean prediction model that will have Navy and civilian applications. Within those grids researchers provide physical ocean data including temperature,
salinity, currents and density, plus data on ice pack density. One day they hope computer programs will show how all these factors relate to each other and effect, for example,
submarine sonar acoustics.
• NPS scientists are among the world's most prominent tropical cyclone researchers. Studying how the ocean responds to a hurricane,
such as changes in current direction,
turbulence and mixing, scientists are
finding out how the phenomenon can affect the operations of Navy subma-rines and sonar devices or the stability of fixed platforms, such as oil rigs.
•High-level, fast-running global
war games help figure out what world military situations might be like in the next century. At NPS, invited political/military analysts and intelligence experts from all military services and other specialists from inside and outside the U.S. govern-ment comprise a sophisticated roster attempting to fully explore the strategies and tempo of modem and future warfare.
• Taking a lead from an NPS professor acknowledged as a pioneer in the field of aircraft survivability
analysis and design, graduate students are now pursuing thesis work on ship survivability. Their study will serve as the basis for developing and establishing a course in that field.
•The already formidable capability
of the EA-6B, the Navy's airborne, radar-jamming platform, has been greatly enhanced through NPS research. Now, the plane can carry the added punch of being able to jam communications.
• Economic models are under study, too. With most new recruits entering the Navy following high school graduation, seats at "A" schools are often overfilled. While new sailors wait for their schools, the Navy is
denied their capabilities. Navy
officials are experimenting with an NPS-developed plan to adjust the amounts of enlistment bonuses; reducing the usual June bonus amount -the easiest month to add recruits-and stair-stepping the bonus up until it reaches the May amount, the toughest month to recruit.
• An NPS operations research
specialist predicts artificial intelli
-gence technology, computers, manu-facturing and marketing are on a collision course; the impact of which will be felt through most segments of American society. What to do about it? Tieing computers, robots, manu-facturing and distribution systems together in what he calls "optimization modeling," the researcher plans ideal ways to do tasks, already saving the Navy time and money.

Other naval and military commands are based in Monterey. Some provide
short courses for officers other have research or '
operational missions. Here's
a brief glimpse of the activities of these commands:
Fleet
Numerical
Oceanography
Center
The Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center
(FNOC) is the master computer center and control-ler of the Navy's worldwide Environmental Data Net-work. FNOC provides oceanographic and meteoro-logical products to both U.S. and allied operating forces.
Oceanographic and meteorological observations gathered from satellites, ground stations, ships and aircraft are transmitted to FNOC from around the world. They are checked sorted and edited by
com~
puter analysis providing a "snapshot" of atmospheric and oceanic conditions at a given time. This "picture';produces a numerical forecast of environmental variables such as wind, temperature, pressure, moisture and sea conditions. These forecasts provide fleet units with a four-dimensional (space and time) measure of the atmosphere and the
ocean.
Approximately 2,500
regional oceanographic and
meteorological forecasts are
transmitted daily on highspeed computer links from the Naval Oceanogra-phy Command Centers
(Guam; Pearl Harbor Hawaii; Norfolk,
Vir~inia;
Rota, Spain; and Suitland Maryland) to the Nationai Military Command Center in the Pentagon, and to other major command centers around the world.Naval
Oceanographic and
Atmospheric
Research
Laboratory
The Monterey detachment of the Naval Oceanographic
and Atmospheric Research Laboratory (NOARL) _ formerly the Naval Environ
-mental Prediction Research Facility (NEPRF)
-conducts applied research and development in various areas of atmospheric science.
As the Navy's primary
scientific center dedicated to atmospheric research, the detachment's mission is to
improve the Navy's weather analysis and prediction
capabilities on local, regional
and global scales, and to determine the effects of environmental elements on naval weapons systems.
As it did during its years as NEPRF, the present NOARL detachment develops and applies new concepts, innovative techniques and
~tate-of-the-art technologies m such current research areas as s~tellite data processing and mterpretation, computer forecast model development tropical storms analysis/ '
prediction and studies of environmental factors that affect electro-optical systems
performance.
Aviation Safety
Programs
NPS Aviation Safety Programs office provides education for aviation safety officers, squadron command-ing officers and government and foreign officials.
The five-week Aviation Safety Officer (ASO) course prepares squadron safety and aviation safety officers to assist their commanding officers in organizing and administering a hazard
~wareness and mishap mvestigation and prevention program.
The five-day Aviation Safety Command (ASC) course is for squadron commanding officers,
officers-in-charge, and
staff officers of major commands. This course focuses on the leadership and management of a unit safety program and mishap investi-gation.
Annually, the Aviation Safety Program graduates over 400 ASO and 350 ASC officer . They ensure continued success in im-proved command safety
awareness and combat readiness.
Defense Resources

Education Center
The Defense Resources Management Education Center (DRMEC) provides resident and on-site manage-ment courses for all military personnel in grades 0-4 and above, and military-related civilians GS-11 and above. The three resident courses are: a four-week Defense Resources Management Course open to military/ civilian participants, 04-06/ GSl 1-15, who work in plan-ning, programming, budget-ing, systems analysis or re-source-related activities of DOD components; the four-week Senior International Defense Management course and the 11-week International Defense Management course are attended by military and civilian participants from all services and countries.
DRMEC's mobile educa-tion teams provide assistance to U.S. installations and co-operating foreign countries.
Defense Manpower
Data Center
The Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) is a management support activity to the Office of the Secretary of Defense created to support studies, analyses and
operational programs pertaining to Department of Defense (DOD) personnel. The center serves as a central facility within DOD for manpower and personnel data collection.
Operational programs for which DMDC has responsi-bility include the variable Housing Allowance program,
the Montgomery GI Bill Eligibility system, and construction of the DEERS Enrollment file, among others. Located a few blocks from the Naval Postgraduate School campus, DMDC utilizes the school's com-puter facilities. Military liaison officers help NPS students studying manpower issues gain access to infor-mation stored at DMDC.
