A Division With LT Jim Beeker and ENC(SW) AI Casterline on the job, why would anyone worry? This hard working band of EN ' s were the guys who were al- ways blamed when things didn ' t work but received Uttle credit when they did work. They were the men who made sure that hot water followed freely for these Hotel showers, fresh water filled every drinking fountain and sink, and the A C kept spaces cool in the hot MED sun. They also kept the RHIB and Gig afloat to transfer passengers and conduct boardings and stopped gray water from drowning everyone in CSB. £ «,«Ui LT James Beeker ENC(SW) Alvin Casterline EN2(SW) Tony Cooper EN3 Norris Dacosta ENS Steven Furjes ENFA Joe Hawkins EN2 John Houston EN2(SW) Ronald Bruns

E Division If we can ' t fix it, it must not be broken. ' E Division better known as E TEAM, was a small but focussed team of EM ' s dedicated to keep- ing DEYO electrically safe. Led by the ship ' s Boot Camp Officer, ENS Tom Comfort, EMI Tommy The Hawk Hawkins, and EMI Mike Rat Rathbun, this close knit team was responsible for the installation, maintenance, and repair of nearly all electrical equipment onboard DEYO. Though they handled enough PMS for a workcenter three times their size and rigged friendship lights in every port, they were still the most selfless and helpful division on the ship.
