We are quiTe sure ThaT all The divisions rely on us To Take care of Their disposals. And if we musT say so ourselves. we Think we do a preTTy good job oT iT. Besides This responsiloiliTy, we also have The CapTain's Gig. which you all know looks 4.0 aT all Times. ln acldiTion To This we have The loesT looking and Tiring 40 millimeTer baT'Tery, which has broughT many complimenTary remarks To The COLUMBUS. Yes sir, The poFT side is The side. And as you look up Trorn The porT side, you agaih see a space ThaT The ship can well be proud of - This is The O3 and O5 levels. As you go down To The'ship's sTore you come again To The SixTh Division. This is one oT our hardesT spaces To keep looking 4.0 because There's so much Traffic ThaT goes Through here, and inTo our Two o'l'her passageways ouTside The Crew's Lounge and The posT oTFice, which even now looks preTTy good considering The TraTFic. Our division consisTs oT one good launch of sailors. We have a comedian by The name OT Gerald lYuk Yukl CHICK, and none oTher Tor The line oT bull Than Leo ARCHER. And iT you ever wanT The hoT scoop, see ALBERT The AlNav Kid, ln lover's field, you'll Tind Don Juans such as Gum Shoe MOR'l'ENSON.and lasT l3uT noT leasT Don MILLER. All This comes under ,The greaT supervision oT LTJG. Rol:aerT E. BRICKATES, ENS. Wallace P. BEHNKE, l-l. COOPER, GMI and J. D. McQUEEN BM2.
