B DIVISICN Vlfhen all is secured after coming into port, the Boilermen have just begun to Work. Responsible for the ship's boilers, which supply high pressure steam to the powerful turbo-generators in the engine rooms, the Boilermen must fill up the fuel tanks in port. Then they must distribute the fuel throughout the ship so that the proper equilibrium is attained. Many a four hash mark Boat- sWain's mate will take the heaviest of seas without batting an eyelash, but let the ship have a two degree list in port and he's as off balance as a land lubber lost in a life raft at sea. The brunt of many sarcastic remarks, the HB Division is the most secretly admired. Working in the most trying conditions, such as temperatures hot enough to boil water, they kept the Brush going with the hottest steam in WestPac. These are the Devil's Disciples. 5 Snipes are good leaders, they're easy to follow
