This Division consists of Radiomen, Quartermasters, and Teleman. The success of a naval operation hinges in part upon accurate communications. 1 heir various duties consist of operating radios, teletypewriters, facsimile equipment, sending messages by auditory and visual means, operating cryptographic aids and devices in encoding and decoding messages. Telemen also act as communications yeomen performing the clerical duties of communication and perform all mail services required cor the operation of naval post offices. With- out these men the George would lie weak, with them we are helpless.
