OC 15212252011 AENSIGN RALPH H. RUEDY Communications Officer Say, Chief, what do all these rows of buttons do? Radiomen, signalmen, quartermasters, yeomen and personnelmen - - nearly autonomous groups linked by their love of confusion: this is how OC Divi- sion sometimes appeared to the untrained eye. fEven the trained eye could be fooled intothis be- lief - - right, Mr. Ruedy?P The pace was hot and heavy throughout the five months with the Sixth Fleet. Often there were more circuits to guard than there were receivers and trans- mitters to put them on. The message traffic volume was fantastic, and not all of it was incoming, either! A routine took all day to get on the skeds, and perhaps longer to route. Routines became priorities, priorities ,became op immediates, and oh thank heaven for on-line crypto! Signalmen were in short supply during the bluster- ing month of March, but the balmy days of May brought volunteers seeking refuge from the deck force, where they had to chip and paint and mess cook. So we taught them how to chip and paint on the signal bridge. With no Loran to guide them, the quartermasters had to re-learn navigation. Included were lessons from the radarmen on the fine art of using a rubber compass. As for the white-collar boys in the office, they were pretty busy typing up everybody's reports. But, ah, no watches. ROBERT J. ANTHONY SA DONALD L. CARTER QM3 HENRY A. DOWNING SA GEORGE M. EMERY JR SA RONALD M. GRATZ RM3 RICHARD W. HAHN SM2 DAVID W. HALL YN3 THOMAS L. HINGST PNSN
