Aboard the BENNER an ET ' s work is never done as there are always daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly checks to be performed on equipment. An ET ' s work takes him to all parts of the ship including combat, the bridge and even the masts. ET ' s must display an efficiency at reading schematics, checking pubs and checking federal stock numbers whenever parts must be ordered. ET ' s live in an atmosphere of tubes, resistors, relays and transformers which they must know a great deal about in order to keep things running smoothly aboard the BENNER. The men of OE Division spend much of their spare time at sea studying the changes and advancements in the field of elec- tronics so that they may better serve their ship. With men such as these it is no surprise that the BENNER holds the operations E for efficiency.
