E R DIVISION It ' s really great to be back home after five months in THE MED , and not hearing those famous last words, Cigarette Joe ? It was a pleasant cruise and the only thing that kept this division shook was worrying whether or not we would be building a brow from the ship to Fleet Landing in Cannes, France. But all in all it was really quite an experience for all hands and a cruise we shall always remember . . . the beach in Cannes, the pizza in Leghorn, the ruins in Athens, and last but not least our own Mr. Mac , running around taking care of the Foreign Claims, and doing a good job of it. The E-R division left the States short-handed but everyone will agree that they did a bang-up job. LT.(|g) D. L. McCONAUGHEY Asst. Domoge Control Off. Bock Row: Neol, Mock, Roach, Polloro, Klofok, Killion Second Row: Singer, Sorsfield, Akridge, Quick, Malonowski, Trotter First Row: Keith — Hicks

How ' s chances on getting transportation for our basketball team? Cot a truck for about twenty men going to a beach party? Did the mail come in? The above quotes are a few samples of inter- rogatory barbs thrown at the swamped dispatching facilities of transportation dispatchers, during the cruise. No record of inability in complying with legitimate requests were noted nevertheless, and with a full wheeling program to comply with, T division fulfilled it ' s mission with good spirit and co-operation Under the direction of Mr. Hall, and with the assistance of Chief Roseburg, the ambiti- ous group took care of the problems of transporta- tion in flawless style and efficiency record. The four dispatching Chiefs, Kreuger, Thompson, Fogg, and Kendall, plus Chief Beyers (as shipboard co- ordinator) kept the trouble-free vehicles in fine operating form, and backed up their men (mostly non-rated) in running a full time Sixth Fleet Motor Pool. The vagabonds had problems in breaking camp with every ship movement, but by the third or fourth port they had this circus-like operation down pat, and that problematic hindrance was conquered along with the other newly acquainted obstacles. The Imperial T rolled smoothly after its first hurdles and kept an even pace thereafter. JH LT. jg) W. A. HALL Trans. Off. T DIVISION tt f 8- ro i ■ H U • ' ■ , l F L r - . ± hjk t. k i fm£ A.
