NAVIGATOR GREEN, HMC The Navigation Department is composed of four different groups of men. First there are the Quartermasters. They are responsible for ma1ntainingtheship's: logs while the ship is underway. They are also the men who help navigate and steer the ship in and out of port. Next, we have the Yeomen and Personnelmen. These men work in the Exec- ut1ve Office. They handle the mountains of paper work that comes and g0es from the ship. They also keep up the service records of all the men on board, making sure that advancements are made on time and that when a man becomes elegible for a medal, the proper service record entries are made. Next come the Postal Clerks. These men deal directly with the morale of the ship's company. They are the most popular men on board when they have mail to pass out. During this cruise, they have passed out to the crew about 14,000 pounds of mail. I llast but not least are the Hospitalcorpsmen. They dispense lots Of .D1l1S and good advice and do their best to keep everybody healthy. This 1S not an easy task when most of the crew won't admit it when they have a cold or a touch of the flu. These are the men of the Navigation Department. They are all Dlffntogether into one division, X Division. The Navigator acts as both D1v1s1on Officer and Department Head for them. D. K.
