SECOND DIVISION Secpnd D' 's'on Officer LTJG. R.'yl!l-lOMPSON mc o. sruuim-i Men don't mind working when they have a goal, and can see the achievements they have attained. In fact, they work harder. ln WestPac we worked harder. And at the end of the month when the number of Unreps were counted, and the tons transferred were totalled, we actually-saw our achievements. This and Second Division's innate pride in doing a good iob kept us going. Our job was the actual transferral of ammunition and before long we became proficient in rigging and all other phases of rearming. We were thus able to join with the other divisions of the ship in quickly forming an efficient team. Along with manning four rearming stations, Second Division is responsible for main decks spaces after the superstructure and the port boat deck We also establish and maintain the quarter- deck, and whenever we are at anchorage, we rig the accommodation ladder This is the one duty that we dislike. When the ship would approach Subic Bay, dhers would shine their shoes for liberty and think of Son Miguel, while we struggled this combersome, antiquated semblance of a ladder. The MAZAMA performed her mission well and we were glad to have been a port at it, and if it is the tradition of the Navy and in particular, Boatswain Mates, to work hard at sea and to ploy hard on the beach, then we honor our heritage and take pride in our performance on the WestPac cruise.
