MEMO TO: Captain's Office Personnel.
1. Although each yeoman in the Captain's Office is assigned certain distinct duties which are his responsibility to perform, there will be times when the work load on one certain job will be more than one person can do. BELLER, Y2c, is in charge of the Captain's Office and if you have more work than you can readily perform and want assistance from another yeoman, ask him for the necessary assistance.
2. To this end, full cooperation among all yeoman is necessary. If You have nothing to do and notice one of the others with a lot of extra work, offer to give him a hand.
3. Yeoman in this office are constantly in contact with officers. When they come to the office, DON'T keep them waiting! DON'T wait for someone else to go to the window to find out what they want. Be polite and courteous at all times and answer all questions to the best of your ability. If you can't answer their questions, refer them to the Chief Ship's Clerk or the yeoman in charge.
4. Yeoman will not discuss any matters concerning things seen, read, or heard, outside the office. This is in the interest of security. Many confidential letters, publications, forms, etc., are filled in the Captain's Office and each yeoman has access to them. Their falling into enemy hands could possibly change the course of the war.
5. Standby slips will be signed only when a standby has been obtained from this office.
6. On week ends that a class is checking in, no liberty will be granted, except in an emergency.
7. The yeoman with the day's duty will be in the office from 1430 to 1700 or until the Captain leaves.
