EX DIVISION Known boza Peoria to poetic Pakistan, from Portland ' co the political banks of the Potomoc, as the poor paper and pencil-pushing Tjersons of the BALTIMORE, the punchy and profane partisans of the EX Division, perturbed only by the paucity of petty ofiBcers, participate punctually in pouring through and palpitatingly processing preposterous piles, packs, and pyramids of peculiar paper sand prosaic pamphlets, propelled by the paradigm propinquity of our pragmatical officers. It is well-known that each division thinks it is the best, hardest-working division of martyrs aboard. Not so the EX Division. It KNOWS it is. Fending off taunts of Rackets- from our ever-lovin ' shipmates, the EX Di -ision goes about the business of administering the BALTIMORE, despite a dire shortage of rated men in the di- ision. Of the original division which gathered on the fantail that memorable, rainy, cold, recommissioning day in Bremerton, oidy jix men remain - Chief Nelson, Rich Richardson, Al Hendricks, George Burck, Leo Thomas, and Al Shapiro, the rest going their individual ways of either ' ransfer or discharge. Besides miming the Captain ' s, Esecutives Officer ' s, Training and Education, Legal, Chaplain ' s, and Public Informa- tion 3ffices, as well as the Print Shop and Photography Lab, the EX Division mans the key circuits not only for GQ but for Special Sea Detail, Condition watches, and all special datails such as refueling and personnel transfer. ' Were it noi. for the labors of the EX Division, there would be no leaves, no liberty, no advancements, no schools, B 30 transfers, no pay, and sad to relate, no masts or courts-martials. Shortage of men, long hours, and all, the EX Division has nevertheless performed an outstanding job in helping to recommission the BALTIMORE and taking it on its Med cruise. Lord knows, we would have preferred to have remained in Boston for these six months, but since we did come over, vre are forced to admit that we enjoyed the cruise tremendously, as did everyone else aboard. We were slightly bewildered by most of the places, but it was love at first sight with fascinating France. It wmi a fine cruise, and a lot of places are no longer just names to us, but living and lasting memories. • m sr- ' tveryonrN goc a record
