There are the Dit-Da-Happy Radiomen; the Yeomen, who daily answer a million questions of, When ' s liberty start, May I see my record ; the Signalmen, when in port, always get the old standby, What ships are in the harbor ; the Radio Technicians; the Quartermasters, and the Radarmen, who are always hearing the old refrain, What ' s the bearing on that target. 24

From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli — that ' s right, the STURGIS complement includes a detachment of Ma- rines. They ' re not called on to assault fortified beaches, or de- fend expendable positions, but their job of enforcing ship ' s rules can be even more distasteful, and is never appreciated. They are charged with the internal security of the ship, and make routine patrols which become monotonous from frequency. They are zealous in their tasks, however, many a time have re- ported trouble to the officer of the deck so that he was able to correct it before an emergency developed. M DIVISION 2 i
