it Mvusuon First Division or Deck Ape Division as it is more often called, is composed of approximately 43 iron men, led by LT (jg) No Quarter SULZNER, the First Lieutenant. The main functions of this division are mooring and anchoring the ship which generally entails letting the anchor go and hoping that it won ' t wrench the bow off - and the all important job of painting over the rust on the ship. No Slack is the watch- word of the day with the Boatswains Mates, and it isn ' t at all surprising to find men over the side on holidays. Of course the line tenders may duck into a fan room for a few winks, but who cares? Enter the First Lieutenant — as everything sudden- ly becomes mass confusion — the great fan room furge is on!! Everyone out and on deck, as the hard bittenlifer used to say, when the wind howls topside, you ' ll be there!! Here comes the Weapons Officer puff puff, wheres the First Lieu- tenant?? What fan room?? CRRRACKJi Turn to, continue ships work. 9 What did I do now?
