Various rates in the division include Yeoman, Engineman, Machinist's Mate, Aviation Metalsmith, Electronics Technician, and Guided Missileman. Several GS's and ET's man the Telemetering Station. Data reduction, Technical Library, and the Instrumentation Office reduce and interpret much of the data received, and file the Department's clas- sified publications. The largest part of the -division is composed of GS's. From this group the two Missile Test shops are manned. They are respon- sible for upkeep and maintenance on the hangar and launching decks. These were the men who worked on the X-1'7's, and who moved the missile to the launcher during firing operations.

The primary duty is, therefore, guns. They maintain the Armory and the magazine spaces. Side arms for Watches and personal arms, like BAR's, carbines and sub-machine guns are still kept. This is purely routine, We hope. On the cruise the Gunner's Mates conducted the Whole operation of POGO firings. They also 'installed the igniters in the X-17's, and several of them Worked on the big bird. Fourth division has no gun mounts any more, but the many magazines and other spaces make up for this lack.
