BASEL, GALLAGHER, ASBILL, UUUL11 iw, UMDUULH, i:Sd1iiLci1Y1VsdhtO Ri2ndAI1ibEfifXii STRAIT, AHLBERG, DARVEAU, UNGER, BJORALT, RoBINsoN, VAUGHAN, 2nd Division personnel are known to shoot off their mouths. . .and occasionally thell' guns. Seriously the Gunners Mates and Fire Control Technicians, although they be few, have the responsibility for maintaining and aiming the 2-5 HX54 and 1-3,170 mounts, plus the associated fire control equipment. Since one of the most important tasks of the ship is anti-air warfare, 2nd Division provides the key personnel to accomplish this mission. But manning guns is not all there it to it. If the boss wants to refuel every other day, that's his prerogative. Lay back on that line, sailor. . . Most of 2nd Division lives in the 2ndfF0?i compartment, except for Chief BRIERE and Chief VAUGI-IAN who live in the MT. 31 amph' dyne room . . . Upon arrival in Yokosuka, many 2nd Division men were indoctrinated in the local custom. Right, DARVEAU? Hong Kong is truly a stellar city. Under partymen,s guidance, sightseeing was the order Of the day, you'd be surprised how spectacular ANTARES, POLARIS and VENUS CWOWI appear through the bore of a 54. Don't forget those horizon checks in the morning, KIMBERLING- Are you looking for ASBILL, ALBERG? He's catching a few i'Z's behind the computer . . . Stretch HSTEPI-IEN finally got his well-earned relief from CPO Mess, but he can't seem 'EQ keep up with those watches in combat . . . DRISGULA became a papa-san-a baby girl. . . COIUPGU' tion was keen among all ship's compartments, but CHRISTENSEN, GMG3 kept us among the top five more than once. Did you ever get the whites sorted? . , , Thanks to 'QChuCkH DOOLITTLE and UFUZZ H HENDRICKS, Mr. ARMAN and Mr. TYNAN are now fighting over who's got the cleanest vestibule... During LIGTAS shore bombardment 2nd Division Was there with bells Qna PVS, too . . . GALLAGHER and GoYETTE Sure enjoyed that Subic hheffy - Znd D1V1S10h S faff hahy STRAIT crawling out of Mt. 51's gunpocket covered with hydraulic oil. . . Congratulations to our new GM3s, ROBINSON and BJORALT. . . We all thought that H0118 KOHEF, WHS the uPearl H of the Orient but someone found a ruby in Iwakuni- And SUCh H Short time there too . . . Where is that accumolator assembly? Understand that i11,S enroute to MC CAIN via the Tierra del Fuego Islands. Well maybe next time.
