OC DIVISION Although OC Division is composed of two separate and distinct rates, it takes the Radiomen and Signalmen working as a team to ensure that the NAVARRO's com- municating is reliable, secure, and fast. For these people the day starts early and ends late. In main-comm the mid watch is about to be relieved. Schoonover, while typing a message, tells Stiller he hears beeping and wonders if anyone is there. In the mean- time, Mueller is tending to his housework on the O-3'level. Shorkey comes in to relieve the watch and checks to make sure all the teletype gear is working properly. Hansen staggers in a few minutes later, but is soon busily at work. With Liptak, Hoyt, and Rowe waiting on the 0-4 level, everyone is ready for a new day. After quarters, Chief Schmidt begins checking the fox broadcast always alert for a CROT , of which he has found quite a few. From in the back room, while checking traffic, we hear Mckeithen say WHAT THE OVER, HERE'S ONE FOR THE GRIDLEYJ' During the day, Liptak is busy making things, Rowe is working a CW circuit, and Hoyt is snowed by J AFPUBS. Meanwhile, we find the day beginning on the signal bridge with Morris cleaning up after the snipes and their nightly routine of blowing tubes. He has swabbed down so much he thinks he is a BM striker rather than a Signalman. Even during quarters, there is action on the bridge. A light is spotted and Wells and Hamm. leave formation to take the message. During the day, everyone pitches in to keep the message traffic flow- ing, or seeing that the bridge is shipshape. Thanks to Countee's marlinspike seaman- ship, the signal bridge has taken on a'De- stroyer-like appearance. The newest addition to the signal gang is Kneavel, who was transferred to us from the Bayfield. He doesn't say much, but does an excellent job. Blackburn is our most accomplished signalman, and as such is used to best advantage training the other signalmen. Chief Beckham keeps things running smoothly, and constantly keeps a sharp eye peeled for shapes, qlxlavigational shapes, that isp. During any operational period OC Division is working 24 hours a day. but that doesn't mean we don't know how to have fun. When the work is over and liberty commences you can always find some fun loving OC personnel on the beach.
