Dresch EXECUTIVE t The pencil pushers and flatfoots of the administra- tion department are broken down into the X and X-l divisions respectively. The X division is comprised of yeomen and personnelmen who push pencils and punch keys furiously to maintain their reputation ot red tape champs of the Bing Ding. These are the men that keep the service records, leave records, cut orders, publish Legal Eagles at work! LTJG Hass dictates a record of courts martial to Marshall and Householder checks. the POD and the Strait Dope and do much other tedious but necessary paperwork. A smatter ' n of MAA ' s make up the X-l division, and these are the non-gun-toting lawmen of the ship. They enforce the innumerable regu- lations of the Bing Ding and generally police the ship. It may well be said that through this department pass the trials and tribulations ot all. Red tape artists Green and LTJG Foucht get with it in the Ship ' s Office.
