LCDR D. K. Miskill Meteorologist 0A IHVI I0 To accomplish its job the OA Division must- have personnel, machines, and an occassional assist from the Chaplain. Weather people are taught in addition to the sciences of Weather, patience, the ability to accept critisism, threats, bribes, and you name it. Like most divisions, it has its light and dark sides. What with the Weather we get and the weather we gi.ve, it is just as well that most of the ship's people do not know where the weather oflice is: but since the cruise is about terminated it is safe to tell, Up on the O7 level, forward of the stack and just above the bridge aud Navigation is a compact if somewhat noisy space used as the weather office. Amidst the entanglement of cables, wires, machines and instruments you find the battle-ground of the weather personnel. At one time or another, everyone is interested in the weather: like the interest one has in the disbursing oflice on pay-day, With all the activities aboard the ship, someone is always concerned about the weather. Our relationship with everyone is congenial enough but on occasion we are confronted with a little belligerancy. Even if we could control or produce the weather we only stand a 505 change of pleasing everybody. ,. -U w I if . 3 ig Wi ll? 4, ii ,E i i 5 w w l l i 6 l 5 u I .Li ,, li it v 'I li l ? lf i, i 4 Ally wmscm- fx
