'vision T DL If you were a member of 'T' Division, what you would hear most of the day would sound something like this: 'When's the next truck going out to the bowling a1ley',or 'I-Iey, did you bring the mail in?',or even,'Would you have transportation for fifteen men?'. Any ninty nine percent sof the time you would answer, 'Sure, hop in'. The numerous barbs thrown at the swamped dispatching facilities of trans- portation during the cruise would be enough to stagger any mind. Still no record of inability in complying with legiti- mate requests were noted, and with a full-wheeling-program 'T' Division fullfilled its mission with a will and co- operation. Under the direction of Mr. Wesley, and assist- ance of Castillo, DC1, the ambitious group solved the problems of transportation with ease and efficiency. The hard working crew kept the much used vehicles in operat- ing and trouble-free condition while serving the full time SIXTH FLEET Motor Pool. From the moment ithfirst motor tumed over until the time of the last belch of exhaust, the royal T kept the wheels rolling. 4 Y-A--, i Z., , ,Ju ft .i.... - s Jay., , LTJG.
