Beginning this quaner, a senior (E5-E6) and a junior (EI- E4) sailor will share the title. Petty OfficerRudy Camarillo is the first senior selectee. While assigned to the Aircraft Depan- ment's Aircraft Suppon Division, his outstanding effons and dedi- cation to duty have been recog- nized by his superiors. The selection letter signed by Capt. Robert Dropp, command- ing officer for enlisted personnel, commended Camarillo for his superior technical and profes- sional expertise which was put to task during the recent absence of his workccnter's supervisor. · "Through your leadership and unselfish devotion to duty, the workcenter carried on with out- standing results." Camarillo arrived at China Lake from NAS Whidbey Island in February 1988. The Platteville, Colorado native said he always wanted to work on planes and the Navy was a good place to get experience. His dutie:; in the Air- craft Support DiviSion include structural maintenahce on A-7, A-6E and F/A-18 aircraft. The first Junior Sailor of the Quarter, AMSAN Bill Miller, enlisted in the Navy's delayed entrance program to "experience life" after high school in Mechan- icsville, Iowa. Training for avia- tion structural mechanics took him to Memphis and then Pen- sacola for·specialization on the AH I helicopter. One of his duties at NWC is providing ground suppon for the China Lake Search amI Rescue team . He enjoys working with the people in the helo shop and credits them for his selection. Miller became, of his own accord, his workcenter's only ground plane captain, demon- strating exceptional initiative. The letter of selection, signed by Capt.

According to the former department head, many details need to be worked out concerning the newly formed directorate, including a name. "Many decisions and plans still need to be made before information about this new directorate is publicized," Bullard said. "As soon as every- thing falls into place, hopefully by the beginning of next week, I will publicize what the direc- torate is, its purpose and how it will benefit the Center. I will also explain my plans and goals as director at that time." Bullard came to the Naval Weapons Center straight from New Mexico Stale University as a Junior Professional in 1960. From the university he received a mechanical engineering degree. Upon completion of the JP Pro- gram, he worked)n the Engineer- ing Department as a mechanical design engineer.

The philosophy he embraced as head of NWC's Engineering Department for the past three years is one he will continue to emphasize. Haaland arrived at China Lake from Montana in 1968 with degrees in physics and electron-- ics engineering. As an engineer and supervisor in the Weapons Department, his career was devoted to developmental work until he was selected as Head of the .Engineering Department in 1987. "The experience I gained in full-scale engineering devel- opment and production suppon with the Engineering Department allowed me to gain a better understanding of the full spec- trum of business at NWC," said Haaland. "I've come to under- stand the importance of commit- ment to a program from begin- - ning to end--and how critical each of the disciplines are." Those years as department head gave Haaland a different perspective based on the whole concept of quality and continu- ous improvement.
