1ST DIVISION The term Boatswain ' s Mate brings to mind images of seafarers plying their trade. In First Division, La Salle ' s Boatswain ' s Mates continue to utilize the fundamentals of seamanship, adapting them to a modern Navy. With ENS Morris as Division Officer and BMC Williams as Leading Chief, First Division is responsible for many essential duties. Up forward, the Foc ' sle belongs to First. Keeping this area squared away at all times is especially important considering it is from there they drop the two anchors, 22,000 pounds each with chain made up of 125 pound links. The Sail Loft is another of First Division ' s charges, where they do all the canvas work for our ceremonial awnings, windbreakers and equipment covers. The Paint Locker, issuing over 500 gallons of white paint a year, and Pneumatic Tool Issue also fall under the realm of First, along with the Bos ' n ' s Locker, the Boat Deck, the auxiliary crane, the ship ' s smaller boats and much of the outside preservation of the ship. Additionally, the Boatswain ' s Mates and Deck Seaman of First stand watch at-sea as lookouts and helmsmen on the Bridge. First Division - plying their trade at sea. Naturally J. Williams L.
