The postal clerks find their popularity soars after an especially large mail call, but the hospital corpsmen who care for the crew ' s day-to-day medical needs find themselves greeted with suspicion when it ' s time to give shots. Personnelmen handle all aspects of the crew ' s service records, affecting such areas as promotions, reenlistments and above all, leave orders. Yeomen on the other hand work closely with the officer corps in much the same way as personnelmen work with enlisted matters. The ship ' s career counsellor is part of X Division, as is the 3-M Coordinator, who helps organize the ship ' s repair priorities. Finally there is the ship ' s journalist, who helps the command communicate with the crew and the public. 60

The Longest Day The morning of December 21st dawned on an already awakened and excited crew. The very machinery of the ship seemed to hum with the expectation of our imminent homecoming. Sea detail was scheduled to go very early but most men were on station before the word was passed, straining for a sight of the coastline through an early morning fog we didn ' t doubt would clear up. The wind was fierce and cold, made worse by the fact that just three days earlier a man could still take off his shirt and catch a tan on deck. Then the Captain came over the address system and announced that poor visibility would prevent the ship from entering port on schedule. A groan went through the ship. After seven months separation even the slightest delay hurt, and men revised their estimates of when the fog might lift. In a way it was ironic. After her 21 day transit to the Philippines, FLINT was turned back at the entrance to Subic Bay because of a typhoon warning. But during the rest of the cruise we didn ' t miss a commitment or arrive late for a port visit. Except for that last, longest day. 62
