Hel1o . . . Come in Mars . . . ? OC Division is composed of Radiomen, Signal- men, Quartermasters, Yeomen and Personnelmen. First the Signalmen or skivvie wavers. These men are the cleanest people on board the PARKSQ 'X Q They say they don't have any 1ettuce. for all day we see them drying their laundry on the halyards or waving it about on sticks. They are re- sponsible for all visual communications, which con- sist of flashing light, flaghoist, and semaphore. Next are the radio or dih-dah boys. Sometimes they dream in Morse Code and answer your ques- tions by tapping their fingers in CW but otherwise What came after EMERGENCY . . . ? Dih...Dah...Dih...Dup...Dah...Dop...Dunk... carry the Message to Garcia via routing boards as fast as the news comes in. Next come the pencil-pushers, more commonly referred to as YO-YO's. From their tiny cubicle comes the clacking and scratching noises which keep the ship's administration up to date. The Quartermasters are the Navigator's assistants and keep the charts and ship's logs in good order. Ably assisted by some stout volunteer yeomen, they are the chroniclers of every movement of the ship. They're sending us ice cream! Where are we, Wiqqie?
