EXECUTIVE A IG TIO The XN Division is more like a Department, and is made up of the quartermasters and the administrative section. The responsibilities of this group are very diversified and range from getting the ship underway and going safely to its destin- ation to keeping the records properly in the Ship's Office. The Navigation Section is manned by the Quartermas- ters. Getting underway for a deployment, the QM's are at the helm and various stations to visually navigate the ship out of the channel. Once in open water, the QM's day is filled with morning Stars, sun lines, evening stars, LORAN, and a continual concern for the ship's position. The Administration Sec- tion is composed of the Yeomen and the Personnelmen in the Ship's Office, a scene of con- QMl Ilosky is the leading Quarter- master. B stant activity with all working there ensuring that the ship's reports are completed and mailed on time, typing the many memos and instructions, correcting personnel records, ordering tests, and guarantee- ing that all incoming corre- spondence is correctly routed and action taken. In Sickbay, the Hospital Corpsmen are concerned with a day of shots, physicals, colds, emergencies, and the contin- uing task of checking the san- itation of the ship's messing and berthing areas. The Postal Clerk, either the most popular or unpopular man on the ship, depending on the frequency of the mail de- livery, mans our seagoing post office, selling stamps, handling all the ship's mail, and keeping morale high. ,f XM X X A LT.
