0 ENGINEMAN o% MACHINISTS MATE Hello from the Enginemen and Machinist Mates of Auxiliary Division. As the keepers of hot, cold water and air, we are always in demand by the remainder of the crew. We are responsible for maintaining equipment from the lowest pump rcx)m bilge, tip to the ships whistle .... and everywhere in between. The division is divided up into four work centers, EAOl, EA02, EA03, and EA04- EAOl work center is responsible for maintaining aft steering, stores conveyors, anchor windlasses, cap- stans, weapons elevators, and the sliding padeyes. EA02 work center is responsible for maintaining the ships’ emergency diesel generators, small boats, winches, and the JP'5 system, including the in-flight refueling of helicopters. Work center EAO.3 is responsible for maintaining the ships air conditioning and refrigeration system also the ice machines, and the prairie air masker system. Work center EA04 is responsible for maintaining the ship’s laundry equipment, galley equipment, hot water heaters, reboiler, and A gang’s favorite piece of equipment, the ship’s whistle. So, as you can see from this list of equipment, the A-Gangers had a very busy cruise in the hot Persian Gulf. They supported the ship’s Tf? many and varied evolu- tions, while we enforced the United Nations sanc- tions against Iraq. Our motto is, “If it breaks, we’ll f I fix it!” MM2 Goodloe teaches MM3 Smith to repair the ice machines (vital equipment while in the Gulf) ENCSCANE MMC HAAS MM1 YOEMAN ENIOHEHIR ENI GRISSOM EN2SCOTT MM2 GOODLOE MM3 BAKER MM3 SMITH 28
