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

SUPPLY DIVISICN '6Service to the Brush has marked the primary mission of the Supply Department. With Store- keepers, Ship's Servicemen, Disbursing Clerks, Commissarymen and Stewards Mates, they have supported the men and the shipis equipment on this cruise. When he wasn't busy organizing a work- ing party, a storekeeper was fishing out one of the ten thousand items necessary to put the ship's gear back on the line. The Ship's Servicemen were doing the laundry, cutting hair and convincing the men the Blue Blades were really better than Super Blue Blades anyway. The Disbursing Clerk was figuring the earnings and paying a man back two of the ten dollars he spent on Shore Patrol. The Commissarymen gave the men three meals every day and fed the 200 people standing mid-watches every night underway. The Stewards kept the officers fed and attempted to maintain some differentiation between Officers' Aft and Fwd. Although there might have been some bitterness about this, Supply enabled the ship to stay out of port and do her job for long periods. They also managed to keep a few other ships going through HUK logistics. And throughout the cruise one could always hear from a Supply man the immortal question: '6W'hen are we going to get our porthole?
