BACK ROW: REFUERZO MMC, MM3, ENS B.L. HOLMES. M DIVI I0 M Division can best be described under two general areas--the leading Petty Officers and the performance of the machinery. The division is led by Machinist Mate Chief Jose P, REPUERZO, called Joe by his men. He is a young, dedicated, knowledgeable chief with ten years of Naval service. He has by example and teaching installed a pride of doing a good job into his men. The engineroom is led by First Class Machinist Mate Dan BARNEY. BARNEY is thought to be very demanding at times by his men, but each will admit that no matter how hard he works them BARNEY will spend many more hours on the job than do they. The evaporator gang is led by First Class Machinist Mate Pat CANNON, CANNON is a dedicated, career-motivated Petty Officer who takes great pride in his work. He took over the evaporators shortly after deploying. During the cruise the re- quirements have been extremely demanding, but in every instance the Happy Nav water department has met the challenge. While serving as station ship in DaNang for sixty- two days, over two and one-half million gallons of water were made. A discussion of Petty Officers wouldn't be complete with- out mentioning Pirst Class Machinery Re- pairman Jake BICNER, Time after time he has been given difficult jobs to do. Many times, working around the clock, he has turned out important parts of high workman- ship to keep vital machinery operating. As one walks into the engineroom, it becomes quickly evident that long, hard man-hours of work have gone into getting the space into the material condition that it is. Keeping the machinery operatingis a never-ending job. The nineteen men in'M Division are proud of the fact that during the cruise there has not been a single, major machinery casualty. We th1nk.W6 have the cleanest, most dependable engine- room and evaporators in the squadron. Our performance has proved it.
