the CREW column records the ESTABLISHMENT, not the persons present. persons are recorded on the rotation roster. the roster is held at the archive and does not form part of this record, and discrepancies between the two are not a matter this office is able to comment on.
where a year reads NO ENTRIES FILED, the directorate has determined that no entries were filed. that is not the same determination as nothing having occurred, and the distinction is not one this office is empowered to draw.
