First Division First Division performed admirably during WESTPAC 73. Among their many accomplishments were 31 un- derway replentishments without a single accident. Forward rig was manned by BM1 Collins, BM2 Jolley, SN Joseph, SN Bennett, SA Acosta, SN Ramirez, and SA Reagle. Midships rig was manned by BMC Good, BM3 White, SN Sullivan, SN Demello, SA Cook, SA Crumrine. Aft Station was manned by BM1 Pierce, SN Alderson, SN Jackson, SN Thomas, SN Carrera, and SA Lowery. All First Division personnel can be proud of the job they did during replentishment evolutions. First Division can also be proud of the work they did on the exterior of the ship. They consistently kept the STRAUSS looking sharp. This can be attributed to many extra back-breaking hours that all hands in First Division participated in. A job well-done is deserved. Deck Division gained a reputation of being hard steamers as well as hard workers, during the 73 days spent inport in WESTPAC. The time spent in Japan, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand, were en- joyed by all. The old saying Join the Navy, See the World, really came true for First Division in WESTPAC 73. A hardy well done and a sincere thanks to all First Division personnel for the extra hours and fine job per- formed during this cruise.
