By BILL PHILLIPS Sentinel Staff Writer New Commander Faces Challenge Homyak predicts little let up on cruises for pilots here, however, even when the Vietnam conflict ends. "When I was here before there were times when the number of units aboard base was down to zero, he points out. He says even in peace time there is a need to keep the ships at sea and that includes the pilots. The new commander predicts a "normalcy approaching for the base after the sudden offensive sprung by the communists in April. He points out that two more units will arrive from the combat zone Sunday, bringing the number of units at home close to the normal rate.

In light of budget cuts imposed by Congress, Homyak says it is easy to predict that someday there may be more units at lemoore NAS in a move to centralize the systems on the west coast.

Homyak, a 30 year veteran of naval service, is no stranger here, however, for he first arrived on the Lemoore airstrip some nine days after the base was officially opened.

I was assigned here and when I arrived it was a surprise to see how new it was, he recalls. Biggest difference between his arrival in July 1962 is it looks like we are here to stay, he comments.

He readily admits that men, such as pilots and aircraft mechanics, have it fairly rough with cruises constantly facing them. "The Chief of Naval Operation (Adm.

Pensacola was commissioned in 1916 as the first navy air station and in earlier years had been a ship building yard as far back as when ships were all wooden, he notes.

"Making use of resources, both people and money, is the biggest challenge a commander faces today, the aviator says. He points out that money has been cut and there is a constant challenge to keep good men in the service. "If we are going to have an all volunteer armed forces, and I think that is what the people want, then we must find ways to encourage men, both officers and enlisted, to make it a career, Homyak notes.
