H 1 . walker panokpf resheter f bow. we work in the sail locker sewing canvas for bunk bottoms, hatch covers and many other items. also in the forecastle you will find some of us working in the boatswaE:.'s locker where our equipment is stored, i '- 1 , . i ff .o' 5'-is-- 1 4. and others of us you will 5-.fe scraping, chipping and painting in our endless fight against rust. on the hatches you will see us tending our boats to keep them up to snuff and sharp looking? ' in the superstructure area you will 'Qfind the 2nd division swabbing, sweeping iiiidli keeping things in topnotch condition aroundffhelporttand starboard- quarterdecks. we of 2nd division also take charge of the deck spaces on the 02 and 034 decks, keeping 'them in condition as well as maintaining the boats that are assigned us in the davits. back aft you will find those of us in 3rd division following a very similar daily routine as lst and 2nd' divisions- working at the continuing battle of upkeep and preservation. when it comes to the task of llioisting and lowering boats, you will hear the shrill sound of the boatswain's pipe over the p. a. system and a calllfor one of our three 1- . u. divisions to man a hatch or davit to lower boats or bring stores laboard. ' a visit to ordnance division will show you a slightly different ty,piQL-of work for we are in charge of Igunnery. you will find us working in the armories keeping records' and maintaining 'small arms and ammunitionfbut during gq you will see us manning our battle stations on the gun directors or on the 5.inch guns. we are responsible for the main- TGDCHCB of 'he 405 Gnd 55, 'Ind we can be found checking and repairing these weapons daily to keeP 'hem in 'Un' ning order. whether you 'spend a day with ordnance division or one of the other deck divisions, you will find your day busy, and when it comes to amphibious operations, your day will be even more occupied when you find yourself manning the boats that go into the water early and come back aboard late. rnh V I3 arm---V - capalanos Iaker miller 14 -X -, -. ,,,.n xl 'Rf' Hg ru cerminura garic davis reshetar M, 52- 2:11 H .40 Y 'E' . ,:- ,, , 5 q Egg , Y -A., MA.- Q 'ww ,1-- ,,,,....4.-- Un: ingold varnell maguffee walker reynolds moore howell .- ,.
