A M Division Officer LT Qjgj Shirk and Chief Petty Officer Thomas MIKE DNESICDN Many people are under the impression that you have to be crazy to be a 'snipe'. However, the truth is that there exists a breed of men who enjoy working and stand- ing watches 25 hours a day in heat ranging upward from llO degrees. The snipes of 'M' Division are charged with the vital responsibility of operating and maintaining the main propulsion plant consisting of such equipment as boilers, main engines, and electrical generators. The normal routine at sea is eight hours of watch a day plus at least four hours of cleaning and maintenance. Does the snipe get a break 'in port? NEVAH I-IOPPEN! Should we stay it off, the watches continue along with a prodigious amount of repair work on idle equipment.
