Haven't you ET's got that gear up yet? OI Division is made up of Radarmen and Electronics technician. The darkworld of CIC is where the radarmen spend their time while the ET's may be found around tubes, wires, resistors, or black boxes. The work of OI Division commenced the minute the ship departed Newport, for it was then that CIC began gathering, pro- cessing, displaying, evaluating and dissem- inating vital information to the bridge. The division can be especially proud of the fine job it did while BROWNSON served on the gunline. The radarmen divided into two gun- Contact? - All I see is a dot! fire support teams, spent many long hours plotting targets, communicating with the spotters, radar navigating and doing other jobs essential for the successful firing of over 3000 rounds of combat ammunition. Every man in the division can be proud of knowing that he performed in an outstand- ing manner throughout the deployment. Spe- cial praise must be given to Chief James who, aided by Lett RDI, Clous RDI, and Jones ETI, developed a highly competent and professional division.

D OHOVS-I1 H ertzsch T rotrnan OC Division, the Communications branch of the Operations Department consists of Radio- men, Signalmen, Quartermasters, Yeomen, Hospital Corpsmen and Postal Clerks. The Radiomen communicate via electrical means--voice, teletype, and C,W, These men handled three times normal traffic in all respects during the deployment. The Signalmen communicate by visual means-flashing light, flags, or semaphore. Because of their limited numbers, they have had to stand long and tiring watches out in the open. The quartermasters primary job is the safe navigation of the ship, constantly plot- ting our positions by celestial, Radar, Visual or Dead Reckoning means, and charting our course over the oceans. Their secondary job is to act as weathermen. The Yeomen and Personnelmen handle all the official correspondence to and from the command and maintain the command's official records, as well as the crews' service records. For those persons who suffered the aches and pains of destroyer life, and the old favor- ite--seasickness--there is always the cheerful Hospital Corpsman ready to give you his aspi- rins, or for the really sick, any one of a hun- dred different colored sugar pills. Last, but not least, is Sacks, our Postal Clerk, for without him, our trip would have seemed twice as long. - These, then, are the men of OC Division, all of whom have done an outstanding job to make the deployment a success. ....And I read-Echo, Tango, Alpha, November, Papa, T ango ....
