A DAY ON THE DECK FORCE The first sound heard in the morning on any day of the week is Revei1le, Reveille, heave out and trice up , the familiar word which is always passed by the duty boatswain mate. This is followed by early morning verses of Buck who always manages to see that every one is up and about in the forward crew's compartment. And there is always the smiling faces of the men who quickly jump out of their racks to start another day. At 0615 there is sweepers to be observed, which usually is, with the exception of a few of the racketeers, i.e., the boat crew, fat this' time they are having their morning coffee and stick J and Hitchie who is usually working in the First Lieutenant's oflice Csugar report to the wifel. At 0800 turn to goes and it is the beginning of a normal working day consisting of chipping and paint- ing decks and bulkheads from stem to stern, and keeping the ship as the saying goes, ship shape. 1130 brings the word knock off ship's work, followed by sweepers and mess gear. The deck boys are always well represented in the early birds of the chow line so as not to miss noon taps . Most usually, ex- cept for the watch, eight bells sees the forward compartment observing the siesta period. The hour of relapse passes quickly and 1300 turn to, continue ship's work is the word. Buck and CJ then set out gently awaking the flaked out men and the ship is again buzzing with the songs of the chipping hammers. With the exceptions of the liberty party, 1600 knocks off the work again and there is always a mad, mad rush for the showers ftagged scrub boxb . But alas, the gunner's mates and fire controlmen are there already. Their method of being the first is a mystery, could be, they cheat? On a fueling day the routine is much different. Reveille is earlier, and taps is belated. The day is long and strenuous but rewarded by the thought of a job well done. Some fueling operations are at night, but we always have soup atmidnight. I In its. entirety, the deck force is not only the hardest working bunch on the ship but also the backbone of any ship. They are fun-loving, easy-going American Man of Warsmen, who work hard and play hard .
