FIRST DIVISIO The Boatswain Mate rate is one of the few true nautical rates left in the Navy. Being the deck seamen of EDSON, We take great pride in making her ship- shape by waging an endless battle against rust and dirt, and keeping her bright and shiny. When the ship needs fuel and pro- visions at sea, we are willing to unrep at any hour with the least possible amount of delay or confusion. The majority of our battle stations are either in the ready service rooms or the hot, uncomfortable magazines. By now we have all realized what totally un- glamorous jobs those Were, but when the word was passed to keep that ammo coming , it came. And after a mission we had the equally tedious task of policing empty brass. Nobody really minded though since we all knew We were play- ing an active part in our fightingteam. Even though long hours are spent Working, We are not above having alittle fun. Taking advantage of our WesPaC liberty hours, We returned to our home port with many fond memories of our ports of call overseas.We eventook time out to show our shipmates how to play softball at the ship's party in Subic Bay. 18
