' E DIVISION The WestPac deployment was an event- at ful one for the electricians and IC electricians A of E Division. Besides the normal routine of standing switchboard and gyro watches, changing lightbulbs and fuses, showing movies, and conducting PMS, there were new jobs, new casualties, new pressures created by the combat environment. The electricians will not soon for- get the fire in the after switchboard, and it seemed there was always one burned-out motor on the eight o'clock report. The IC men became I expert projector repairmen. E Division enjoyed liberty with the best of them. In fact Phillips and Bruce liked i Olongapo so much they gave their watches to the fine youth organizations there. And we even had a visitor to the world-famous Tiajuana Jail.
