BI15'N MATES FIRST IIIVISIIJN Walk up on the focs'le any time in decent weather and you get hit by a barrage of noises sounding very much like l-leave around sailor, red lead that bulkhead, splice that hawser, and shine that bright work. ' lt's just the Bos'n mates and their strikers turning to. The First Division deck hands are responsible for most of the topside spaces and the hull from the bull nose aft to a distinctly determined line at the amidships passageway, plus many of the forward below deck spacesi These men have felt the cut in personnel more than any other rate, but even though they are up yy, v' against these tremendous Q ? XQ odds the deckhands come XX R K out on top every time. M l l i -fi Deck apes you say . . . .X K X ' L that's right, but it's one .ff X- of the best group of deck apes in the Pacific Fleet.

Bll5'lXl MATES SEIIUNII DIVISIIIN The second division deck hands' work begins at an imaginary line at the amidships passageway and con- tinues aft to the fantail. The duties of the Bos'n and his strikers are not strictly cleaning, scraping, and painting but when the ship is called to general quarters they form the bulk of the gun crews. The deck hand. represents a true picture of the civilian's conception ot a typical sailor. He can tie almost any knot from a square knot to MacNamara's lace, coxswain a motor whale boat, rig a double lutt, and steer the ship. The Bos'n Mates are the salts of the Navy.
