X X Division is composed of postal clerks, personnelmen, printers, and yeomen. The main 1ob. of the division is to serve and assist the ship .in its administrative capabilities. Most of the work of the division is located in office spaces all over the ship. I am a Yeoman and work in the Captain's Office. I handle and control the classified material sent to the ship and I also control all registered mail sent to the ship addressed to the Commanding Officer. I handle most all registered mail being sent to other commands from the ship. I have a collateral duty of assisting the other office personnel in the performance of their duties as well. I work an average of about 12 to 15 hours a day. The work isn't hard but it does tend to be frustratin at times. For example, someone might brin a piece of classiged material in to me for destruction or just Ear a change of hand. I that it doesn't have a control number assigned to it and it s about four years old. This means that I have to spend a minimum of two or maybe three hours just tryinlgato locate the control sheet on it. When I finally find it, I find t t it was cancelled two years ago and no longer beneficial to the command. Where these items come from is really a eat question. Excexg for these frustrations, I really like m ici It enables me to lp and serve other personnel which Iireally like to do. Finally, it gives me a .chance to better myself and to learn to hold bigger responsibilities which should help me in civilian life. Chris J. Hennan YN3 X Division Beaumont, Texas
