“Does anyone else want to get
married?” Captain E. E. Hazlett
popped the question after giving
away Lindy at the wedding re
hearsal. Lindy and Top, more
formally named Orilla Maretta
Lindsey, Y3/c, and Harold Drew
Tabbutt, 1st Sergeant, USMC,
were married at 6 o’clock Fri
day evening in the USNROTC
Armory.
Our chaplain, Lieut. W. A.
Alexander, performed the dou
ble ring ceremony. We thought
the bride and groom looked
pretty special, Lindy wearing
her white dress uniform and
carrying a white. Bible with
markers of white gardenias, and
Top in his dress Marine blues.
Louise, Lindy’s sister, was maid
of honor, and Sgt. Marshall N.
Rosier, USMC, best man. Twelve
honor guards from the Marine
V-12 Unit flashed their bayonets
and formed an arch for the cou
ple to pass through at the end
of the ceremony.
The guests reported aboard
the U. S. S. Dickson immediately
after the wedding, logged in
with the Mate of the Deck and,
as the invites read, were defi
nitely on their own. The grin-
ningly happy couple left for a
honeymoon through New York,
Massachusetts and Pennsylvania,

Henry Pigon, S2c, shouted
over the phone last week, “Oh,
my word, how is she, what’s her
name?” when he learned he had
an eleven-pound daughter, Joyce
Carol. The proud father now
rates a five-day leave to Chicago.
Do you know the old diaper rou
tine, Hank?
Barbara Earp, Y3/c, dashed
back from her leave spent in an
impenetrable section of Virginia
to land herself in the hospital
with a case of cat fever. She
spent her sick leave catching up
on her love-story magazine
reading, rugged duty.

All we said this week was that
lonesome word, “Goodbye.” The
incomparable Exec Office team,
Dick and Webb, left us and a lot
of fun went with them. Charles
W. Keenan, Ylc, departed on
Sept. 11 for Naval Separation
Center, Washington, D. C. and
for a civilian life of wearing tan
gabardine suits and reading gas
meters in Baltimore. Cecil Web
ber, Y2/c, our former personnel
yeoman and your “buddy-bud-
dy,” kissed all the girls “‘Good
bye” and flooded Alex Hall with
tears wlien he fled on Monday
morning to U. S. Naval Hospi
tal, Portsmouth, Va. He hopes
to be a petroleum engineer, but
first he plans to rejoin his wife
in Hudson, Mich. Webb’s rnost
famous remark, “Marriage is a
fine institution. No family
should be without it.”

-Demobilization-
(Continued from Page 1)
increase of 423,000 over the
327,000 who became eligible on
Aug. 15 when the Navy first an
nounced its demobilization
plans.
Approximately 1,100 doctors
will become eligible for release
tomorrow. A total of 20,000
pharmacist’s mates and 9,000
hospital corpsmen become eligi
ble for separation at the same
time. Approximately 500 nurses
also are eligible for release on
Sept. 15. Dentists have been eli
gible for release since Aug. 15
under the same critical score as
other officers, 49 points.
In the original plan the Navy’s
goal for demobilization was set
at the release of 2,500,000 per
sons in 12 to 18 months. On
Aug. 27 the Secretary of the
Navy announced the Navy’s in
tention to release all but 500,000
men and 58,000 officers by Sept.
1, 1946.
Revised Formula
The revised formula for re
lease provides one-half point for
each month of service on active
duty since Sept. 1, 1939; one-
half point for each year of age,
computed to nearest birthday;
10 points for a state of depen
dency existing as of Aug. 15,
1945, and beginning tomorrow
one-fourth point for each month
of active duty outside the United
States since Sept. 1, 1939.
As previously announced, the
Navy’s demobilization plan ap
plies only to Naval Reserve per
sonnel and to enlisted personnel
of the Regular Navy serving un
der extended enlistments. No
reduction in the critical scores
was announced, since the addi
tion of credit for service outside
Rear Adm. Denfeld
Is New Chief Of
Naval Personnel
Washington, (SEA)—With a
“well done” from SecNav for
his three and one-half years as
Chief of Naval Personnel, Vice
Admiral Randall Jacobs will be
relieved Sept. 15 by Rear Ad
miral Louis E. Denfeld, formerly
second in command at BuPers
and more recently commander
of a battleship division in the
Pacific. Admiral Jacobs’ new as
signment will be announced
soon.
BuPers’ five major problems
now that Japan has surrendered,
according to Admiral Denfeld,
will be: (1) the transfer of suffi
cient reserve officers to operate
the peacetime Navy; (2) rapid
and orderly demobilization; (3)
replacement of older Admirals
and senior officers with younger
men; (4) possible retention of
the WAVES in a postwar Navy;
(5) revision of the Navy’s edu
cational system to fit future
needs.
Seeking to transfer 300,000
reservists to the regular Navy,
the new Bureau head prom
ised equality of treatment to all
men with no room for distinc
tions between one group and
another.
this country more than doubles
the original number eligible for
separation. The critical scores
remain 44 for male enlisted per
sonnel, 29 for female ^eolisted
personnel, 49 for male commis
sioned and warrant officers, ex
cept 60 for male doctors and 44
for naval aviators in flight sta
tus, 35 for female commissioned
and warrant officers and mem
bers of the Nurse Corps.
