Typically the day starts at rev- eille with all hands on deck where morning watch isweepersl is held and then it's oft' to hrealtiast ior delicious chow and our morning high. coffee. After niustering at quarters daily work aissigiuuents. are given out and we attempt io accomplish our daily routine. This normally involves m.untenant e on gear, cleaning our spaces and training lor the entire division. Vifheii l3NREl'S are scheduled the daily routine goes out the porthole. Wit: turn-to to hrt-.ilc out the lietessimf items lor delivetw either hy CONREP or X'lfRTRlil'. VISIO The cargo, ammunition, or general cargo, is then transferred to the station or helo deck where it is to be sent to the receiving ship. Of course, when we receive, the oppo- site is normal. Cargo is removed from the stations or helo deck where it is received, the ships leave and then an attempt is made to stow it in the holds. More times than not we end up slowing it around the cargo declt until the UNREI' is complete. Then the mission impossihle team goes to worlt SIUXVTHQ the holds. All ol' the ahove sometimes runs into three or iour man dat s without sleep. Then, we hold sweepers and try to relax for a iew hours. The next dat' hrings new require- ments iioin the ileet warships, so here we go again and again and .ig.iin, etc. Une thing ior sure, the mission impossihle team of the low Cotintry lfXprc'ss is always there and we love the challenge. ef 1 f 25-. gg s. . ,Mu ,T GMG1 tswi not-.aid Gibbs GMGC Marxin Chandler GMG1 KSWD James Mannmg
