ADMINISTRATICJN DEPT. The Administration Department is comprised of a group of highly trained individuals who must deal ef- fectively with people, ideas, and paperwork. Formally known by their shipmates as members of X Division, these yeomen, personnelmen, photographers, litho- graphers, journalists, and postal clerks perform their tasks with an enthusiasm that overcomes the mounds of paperwork and barriers in communications which all large organizations are burdened with. Their tasks are as diverse as their rating badges. Yeomen maintain important files and records, deal with legal problems, and contribute to the morale of the crew through the upkeep of the library and setting up for I40 worship services. Personnelmen work with the enlist- ed man, seeking to serve him by guidance, training, and providing the educational aides necessary for ad- vancement. Photographers, journalists, and lithographers work together as a team to provide crew members with the Boston Press, familygrams, and the ship's lively radio station, WBOS. The postal clerks' rapid handling of the mail is always appreciated by men who often go for weeks before mail reaches the ship. The Master at Arms force is charged with the always important job of enforcing Navy and shipboard regulations.
