222 212252022 It was clear from the beginning that Second Division would not be obscure on this cruise. The bloomiest bloomers in DESRON TEN were there for all to see, from the bridge. If only we had had eight inch guns to go along with them. Still, though they were only five inchers, the guns proved themselves quite capable during Deep Six, maybe all that practice on the loading machine was worthwhile after all, eh Chief? The excellent condition of the fire control radar, too, was a joy, but this had little bearing on the fact that the LLOYD THOMAS was still back in Izmir hunting for hers. Liberty hours seemed a bit limited at times, but this did not hamper us from making our pre- sence known on the beach. Bremer was quite an ace on getting himself a date wherever he went but even he couldn't compete with Slater. Two of the men became artistic: Foy got a tatoo to remember Malta and Chernowsky modeled in a photography studio. Whether the subject was high living or hard work, the men were anxious and willing. f Second Division personnel are just impossible to control. ' ROBERT E. BALLEW SN WILLIAM O.
