gm division i GM Division personnel assemble and test the fero- cious Bullpup, the deadly Sidewinder, and the Sophisti- i cated Sparrow lll missiles for operational use. The Sidewinder assemblers use the After Mess Deck, I the Bullpup technicians use the First Class Mess, and A the Sparrow Ill experts utilize the GM spaces. The Sparrow lll is the queen bee i' of the missile l arsenal. She is delicate and requires more attention than her less-sophisticated companions. GM technicians use the DSM-32 test equipment at regular intervals and after flights to insure that the l Sparrow's electronic and hydraulic mechanisms are functioning properly. GM division personnel also man and operate the number four elevator, and maintain the magazine spaces that house missile components. GM division mans a staff of 30 AO's and AT's. Lieutenant Commander R. L. Carlson is the division officer and H.T. Gillingham, ATC is the leading petty officer.
