DIVISION Business As Usual TC Division is not as mysterious as its name imples. It is no unknown quantity. In fact, one can hardly get through a day ' s routine aboard ship without meeting a part of X Division in one form or another. You meet the division at replenishment and before the movies when the band plays. For THE WORD you turn to the directives and Plan of the Day issued through the Administrative Office. For printing paint chits and other necessary local forms and for mim- eographing THE WORD, there is the Print Shop. Each event of note in your military career is recorded in the Captain ' s or Person- nel Office. Is it school information, naval training courses, or educational advice and advance- ment you want? Then by all means the Training Office is your best bet. Courts-martial infor- mation and legal assistance and advice can readily be obtained from the Legal Office. For matters of the spirit and personal prob- lems the chaplains are always available. So you are a sportsman ! You check out athletic gear from the locker or use exercise rooms maintained by X Division. Out of uniform ! And an IC Division man caught you : the Master-at-Arms. As a Chief you know that it is X Division that maintains the Chiefs Quarters. So you see, X Division serves you. Wherever you go or wherever you turn for information or advice, it ' s probably toward X Division. FRONT ROW : N. O. Anderson, G. J. Wolf, CHSCLK R. E. Means, LT G. E. McDermott, A. G. Schulte, R. C.
