B0 T r DIVI IO Boat Division is made up of a unique combination of Boatswain's Mates and Enginemen. The main function of this di- vision is amphibious operations in which assault landing craft are utilized for trans- porting marines and cargo to the beaches. In between landings, they tind time to carry mail, haul cargo and help lost ma- rines find a home. Aside from the normal work load, this division contributes a great dealt in many deck evolutions, by manning the motor whale boat during flight quarters, man overboard, and un- derway replenishments. The enginemen work long strenuous hours keeping the E1 Paso's boats in top running order, often in adverse conditions. In performing these day to day duties one can easily see that this division takes great pride in El Paso's boats.
