(KNEEL- ING) BT2 Paul Snook, FA Brian Holm, FN Melvin Langlois, FN Michael Grisamore. B Division The job of the Boiler Technician is to keep the fires burning and provide the ship with the steam it turns into power. In the brick and steel boiler, air and fuel are brought together at 2,000 degrees to vaporize water into 600-pounds of pressure. Every change in speed or drain on the ship ' s power means a BT ' s hand on the throttles to keep the mixture burning at just the right pace. Every BT has to qualify as a watchstander and that means he has to learn his way around the maze of pipes that seem to grow out of the deck like ivy on the side of a house. And when the ship puts out the fires and goes cold iron it ' s the BT who rebricks the furnace so it will burn clean and safe the next time. A BT quickly learns the workings of a grease gun. 20
