R-1 DIV whether Swapping sea stories, catching softballs Cand batsly 01' guififlg the Hull Repair Division on to greater service to the Fleet, LT Stallfie d 15 recognized as the champ, officially and unofficially. His pr0teE9S compete 1 fiercely to imitate. While deployed, work requests were nlimeiglogjglpelgicglrge were few, but the division worked long, hard hours, then D aye 1 d Th - - Ninety- eight percent of the men played football, softball or bow e . e re maining two percent were finally discovered receiving pointers in the art of girl- watching. SFC M, L, Skinny Lindsey can barely fill one leg of a pair of trousers, but he capably handles two demanding jobs-- leader of the shipfitter gang, and substitute division yeoman. The Weld Shop motto, coined, no doubt, by SF1 C, D, Keele, aptly describes their abilities: We weld everything from the crack of dawn to a broken heart! SFC J. O. Big Head Simpson has a heart as big as his 7 3f4 hat. He would probably give away half his pipe stock in the shop if he were not restrained by the conservationist views of the old- timer SFPI D, N, Pappy Howard. Dictators may come and go, but the greatest of all operates within a democracy. SFl ft, A, Williams runs the Sheetmetal shop with a taut hand, while personally equalling productive efforts of his men. PMC L. H, Sleepy Baril will fix a customer up with woodwork ranging from picture frames to bridge grating Cbut excluding re- pairs to souvenir oriental junksj, or else he will make the customer forget his request by regaling him with stories of the old-time Navy and sailors. BM2 C. Couch proudly proclaims his accomplishments as head of the Can- vas Locker by saying We cover the fleet with anything but herculite, and we'll do it with that too, if the customer will furnish the material.
