Iwe hosts slminar on long rangl
plans for tlSt, Ilaluation facilitils
At the invitation of the Naval Air Systems
Command (NAVAIR) Assistant Com-
mander for T&E (AIR-1l6), representatives
from each of the Navy's Major Range Test
Facilities Base met recently at the Naval
Weapons Center for a long range planning
seminar on test and evaluation.
Each activity has been directed by AIR-1l6
to submit a comprehensive long range
planning document by Feb. 15, 1977. TheSe
plans will be modeled after NWC's Project
21 report, a 25-year plan prepared by the
T&E community as a guide for modernizing
NWC ranges and test facilities.
Seminar attendees from NAVAIR were
Willard R. Rieger and Donald R. Bennett.
Rieger, who is from the NAVAIRlong range
planning office, has been appointed project
leader for NAVAIR and will serve as the
director and focal point of this Navy-wide
task. Bennett, whose responsibilities are
related to equipment improvement and
modernization, will be the project coor-
dinator for West Coast activities.
NWC To Provide Advisory Aid
With its extensive background in the
processes and its understanding of the
difficulties in conducting long range T&E
planning (via Project 21), Ibe Naval
Weapons Center will provide advisory
assistance to participating activities as
required. WhOe a large number of Center
personnel will be available for consultation
in specific technical or financial areas,
Jerry L Reed, head of the Long Range
P1anning Office (Code 0601), will be the
coordinator for all advisory services
provided by NWC to other activities.
During the seminar, a series of presen-
tations were made describing and
discussing the methodology used by NWC
personnel in the preparation of Project 21.
Following welcoming remarks by Rear
Achniral R. G. Freeman m, NWC Com-
mander, Rieger and Bennett provided In-
troductory information on the Navy's
requirement to establish a joint positioo on
the management and funding of its T&E
facilities.
Rieger e"Plained that H. Tyler Marcy,

The visit was arranged by the NWC Fleet
Support Office as part of an effort to e:q>ase

the real-world environment for which
systems must be designed. Center em-
ployees have been invited by Cdr. Jim

Learning E;xperlence
Aftertheir return, Mater, Dean, Cote, and
Gowing described their experiences to Dr.
Roger Fisher and LCdr. Ed Brooks of the
NWC Fleet Support Office and Dick Murphy
of the Weapons Department. The four JPs
made suggestions on ways that future ship
visits might be arranged to provide
maximum benefit to invol~ employees.
All four agreed that the trip was well
worth their whlle. They were impressed
with the technical capabilities of the
Hollister's crew and with the hard work
they saw.
Hard Working Team
Both the officers and the crew were
worked to their llmit," Dean said "uthat's
the way everybody works in the F1eet, I
think the Navy's earning its money."
"It's my observation that most Navy
ships that are undermanned," Dr. Fiaher
said "I don't think that the hard work and
long hours you saw were atypical - there's
a severe shortage of personnel at the bIgber
petty officer levels." LCdr. Brooks added
an explanation thaf the reallties of a
volunteer Navy plus fiscal constraints have
been causes of this situation in today's
Fleet.
Mater said be was surprised at how old
the systems were that are in use on the
Hollister. "That's typical of the problems of

GSA questionnaIres
sent to occupants
of Wherry housIng
Questionnaires were distributed recently
by the General Services Administration's
(GSA) regional office in San Francisco to
Naval Weapons Center employees who are
currently occupying homes in the Wherry
housing area (Desert Park) that have been
declared surplus to the Navy's needs and
are scheduled for dispoaaJ.
Purpose of the inquiries, which were sent
to the tenants of the 93 residences out of the
600 Wherry homes that are stiIl occupied,
was to learn if they are interested in the
purchase of a dupiex or fourp1ex unit at a
fair market value.
Those responding to the questionnaire
also were asked to indicate what they
considered to be the most likely price for
duplex and fourplex units, ranging from a
low figure of $10,000 to more than ~,OOO.
It was made clear by GSA that there was
no obligation to purchase (either expressed
or implied) by those who filled out the
questionnaire, and those who received the
questionnaire are under no obligation to
return it ifthey do not wish to do so.
The questionnaire was accompanied by a
letter from A. B. Pace, director of the Real
Property DiviSion of GSA's Public
BuDdings Services, who statedthat the need
was recognized for keeping current Wherry
housing occupants informed about GSA's
disposal plans as they develop.
"It is our desire," Pace wrote, "that the
houses remain occupied to the extent that
the disposal process will not be adversely

Iwe hosts slminar on long rangl
plans for tlSt, Ilaluation facilitils
At the invitation of the Naval Air Systems
Command (NAVAIR) Assistant Com-
mander for T&E (AIR-1l6), representatives
from each of the Navy's Major Range Test
Facilities Base met recently at the Naval
Weapons Center for a long range planning
seminar on test and evaluation.
Each activity has been directed by AIR-1l6
to submit a comprehensive long range
planning document by Feb. 15, 1977. TheSe
plans will be modeled after NWC's Project
21 report, a 25-year plan prepared by the
T&E community as a guide for modernizing
NWC ranges and test facilities.
Seminar attendees from NAVAIR were
Willard R. Rieger and Donald R. Bennett.
Rieger, who is from the NAVAIRlong range
planning office, has been appointed project
leader for NAVAIR and will serve as the
director and focal point of this Navy-wide
task. Bennett, whose responsibilities are
related to equipment improvement and
modernization, will be the project coor-
dinator for West Coast activities.
NWC To Provide Advisory Aid
With its extensive background in the
processes and its understanding of the
difficulties in conducting long range T&E
planning (via Project 21), Ibe Naval
Weapons Center will provide advisory
assistance to participating activities as
required. WhOe a large number of Center
personnel will be available for consultation
in specific technical or financial areas,
Jerry L Reed, head of the Long Range
P1anning Office (Code 0601), will be the
coordinator for all advisory services
provided by NWC to other activities.
During the seminar, a series of presen-
tations were made describing and
discussing the methodology used by NWC
personnel in the preparation of Project 21.
Following welcoming remarks by Rear
Achniral R. G. Freeman m, NWC Com-
mander, Rieger and Bennett provided In-
troductory information on the Navy's
requirement to establish a joint positioo on
the management and funding of its T&E
facilities.

Learning E;xperlence
Aftertheir return, Mater, Dean, Cote, and
Gowing described their experiences to Dr.
Roger Fisher and LCdr. Ed Brooks of the
NWC Fleet Support Office and Dick Murphy
of the Weapons Department. The four JPs
made suggestions on ways that future ship
visits might be arranged to provide
maximum benefit to invol~ employees.
All four agreed that the trip was well
worth their whlle. They were impressed
with the technical capabilities of the
Hollister's crew and with the hard work
they saw.
Hard Working Team
Both the officers and the crew were
worked to their llmit," Dean said "uthat's
the way everybody works in the F1eet, I
think the Navy's earning its money."
"It's my observation that most Navy
ships that are undermanned," Dr. Fiaher
said "I don't think that the hard work and
long hours you saw were atypical - there's
a severe shortage of personnel at the bIgber
petty officer levels." LCdr. Brooks added
an explanation thaf the reallties of a
volunteer Navy plus fiscal constraints have
been causes of this situation in today's
Fleet.
Mater said be was surprised at how old
the systems were that are in use on the
Hollister. "That's typical of the problems of

GSA questionnaIres
sent to occupants
of Wherry housIng
Questionnaires were distributed recently
by the General Services Administration's
(GSA) regional office in San Francisco to
Naval Weapons Center employees who are
currently occupying homes in the Wherry
housing area (Desert Park) that have been
declared surplus to the Navy's needs and
are scheduled for dispoaaJ.
Purpose of the inquiries, which were sent
to the tenants of the 93 residences out of the
600 Wherry homes that are stiIl occupied,
was to learn if they are interested in the
purchase of a dupiex or fourp1ex unit at a
fair market value.
Those responding to the questionnaire
also were asked to indicate what they
considered to be the most likely price for
duplex and fourplex units, ranging from a
low figure of $10,000 to more than ~,OOO.
It was made clear by GSA that there was
no obligation to purchase (either expressed
or implied) by those who filled out the
questionnaire, and those who received the
questionnaire are under no obligation to
return it ifthey do not wish to do so.
The questionnaire was accompanied by a
letter from A. B. Pace, director of the Real
Property DiviSion of GSA's Public
BuDdings Services, who statedthat the need
was recognized for keeping current Wherry
housing occupants informed about GSA's
disposal plans as they develop.
"It is our desire," Pace wrote, "that the
houses remain occupied to the extent that
the disposal process will not be adversely
