will call a meeting of all detachment personnel and discuss security matters,
This shouldbe a group: discussion: in which every member voices a few of his
concepts ofthe subject.
Perhaps. the man with the least td say should be re-
quired to prepare a lengthly summation of. the group discussion,
On the matter of roll-up,
Umsed equipment should be prepared for final
shipnent at this time so that only operational equipment remains at the time of
final roll-up. “You. all have the roll-up plan,
and there will be little confusion later on,
Follow the directions carefully
An order will be published later
on but will contain essentially the same information as the plan,
do everything now that you can,
In general,
You will have more than enough to do during the
final roll-up.
We have new balloons coming - the ones we originally requested,
I havetold
higher authorities that we may expect 90,000 foot averages at all stations with
these new balloons.
You have accomplished ‘an outstanding job in attainingyour
high averages of thé last three months but we have been slipping during the last
several weeks,
Remember the new balloons will not "go" by themselves,
You men
must continue to use the utmost care and your most skilled procedures to obtain
the highest possiblé ‘heights of which the balloons are tapable.
I noted that
the Eniwetok Rawinsonde Section has gone into the. lead during the past several
weeks,
Congratulations to T/Sgt Hawley, T/Sgt McGroty and all the rawinsonde
operators here,
The month isn't over yet but I think you are assured of first
place in the WREP standing and I om certain that this means first place throughout Air Weather- Service.
Your efforts have produced better than a 20,000 foot
inereasé over your average before you joined our operation,
It demonstrates’
good teamwork, competitive spirit, high morale, and excellent will to produce
the best on the part. of every man in the section,
Other detachnents, though still
producing outstanding results, have slipped in obtaining their maximum height
averages,
It was expected that such would happen.
