fi sw i '..5l'l6l7,5'2v As a green boot tours the after weather decks and finds himself in an atmosphere of dense stack gas and soot. he will surely think he's back in Los Angeles. Actually, he is in Second Division spaces. He will see all hands turning to-sweeping and swabbing or chipping and painting. He will notice numerous PO's and leading 'seamen momentarliy enjoying the comforts of spacious Second Division gear locker. On the fantail he will find half of Friday's fish and various other garbage specimens neatly piled in the shape of a Kansas hay stack. Near by he'll see Boat No. 7-the staff punt, As the boot looks around he'll also notice peculiar locking deck equipment fdavits, winches, wire rope, etc.i and a large play ground fthe helicopter flight deck.D When he goes below decks to the Second Division compartment he will be overwelmed by the stylish green and white striped deck and the snow white head. After talking to the captain of the head, he will learn that the men of Second Division comprise the second largest division on the ship, and that they are one of the more active divisions ashore. By the time the green boot returns to the ship's office, he will be convinced that he should put in a special request chit to insure that he is assigned to the Great Second Division. Denny, R.K.
