1st Division Motto: The Fighting First ' One two three four What the hell we ,rocking for? Four three two one Cause we like to rock for fun. Here we go down the board We gotta rock-can't stop Hit it, hit it, shift a board. When speaking of a cruiser deck division one can't forget the Holy- stone Chant. In GALVESTON's First Division this little verse is a weekly ritual, an integral part of holystoning the wooden deck. Holystoning is only a small part of the maintenance job handled by the division. They perform a variety of jobs throughout the ship. They stand watches as Boatswainfs Mates of the Watch, helmsmen, messengers, and the ever present life ring watch. In addition the life boat crew is ready at a moments notice. A large part of the ship's gun crews, repair parties and messmen are First Division men. Last, but not least, are the boat crews. GALVESTON's boats are the shar- pest in CRUDESPAC and the lst Division is proud of its two, the Captain's Gig and the Number One Utility. Replenishment at sea is their specialty, and accomplishments in this field have fulfilled GALVESTON's motto. In 'YTHFLT replenish- ments the division has consistently exceeded the standards of exceln lence in rig -time with AKS, AO, AE and AF ships and contributed its share toward the record breaking AKSXCL UNREPS of December 1963 and March 1964.
