SECCND DIVISIO Second Divison, Second To None You Can Trust The Ship's Safety To They Who Wear THE GUN! Weapons Division Dealers of Death and Destruction WPAC 95 started out rough it was unknovim to WEAPONS DIVISION what would be expected. I-Iowever, under the expert leadership of GMC I'IecoxISWJ, the Gun- ner's Mates came through with flying colors. Responsible for shooting all shot lines to receiving ships, and because, with so many UNREPS, there were so MANY oppor- tunities for target practice, the Gunners decided to make a competition of it. Just for the record, GMG1 Cook won with a 91f7o record. A major contributor to the ship's mission, the gunner's mates spent many hours on their fork trucks moving everything from soda to mail. GMGSN Bamhart was also frequently seen in the winch booth flying the rigs or hanging out in the RI-IIB 'H s r If if trying to rescue a hapless, drowning Oscar. As the ship's ONLY line of defense, the Gunner's mates manned the .50 CAL ma- chine guns and stood many hours on the mine watches in the Persian Gulf. To sum up the perfonnance of the BIG GUNS they contributed in various aspects to en- sure that CIMARRON was ON TIME, ANYTIME, EVERY TIME. Guns Hecox works with GMG1 Buf- Kneeling: GMG1 Buffone, GMC Hecox, MAI King Standing: GMGSN Zaragoza, GMGSN Ware, GMGSN Stevens, GMM2 Juarez, GMGSN Gordon, GMGSN Bamhart, GMG3 Williams, FCCM Ramirez
