FIRST DIVISION YOU WANT IT UP, WE PICK IT UP. YOU WANT IT IN, WE PUT IT IN. These are the words that best describe the attitude and approach First Division takes in making even the most difficult oftloads and backloads seem simple. Making up the backbone of Deck Department, First Division personnel can be seen on deck at any time, in any weather, splashing boats and slushing booms. First Division spaces, being in plain view of the Skipper, have presented a challenge in maintenance and preservation. Regard- less of the task at hand, the men of First Division have always answered with heart and muscle to achieve the high standards expected of a boatswain's mate.

SECOND DIVISION Second Division is responsible for all deck equipment and maintenance aft of frame 94, and the Port Ouarterdeck. With four fifteen ton booms, one 40 ton and one 70 ton boom, one of Second Division's major responsibilities is cargo and boat handling. From loading stores for Supply Department to full offloads for a major 1-A, Second Division can be relied upon to complete the task in a timely, efficient manner. When it comes time to put forth everything possible, the whole division will work together as a group and complete the task.
