I TRODUCI G FIR T DIVI IO Since leaving Pearl Harbor last October, First Division has had many occasions to demonstrate good deck seamen- ship. A glance at past events shows the First handling a whopping 300 tons of cargo, including everything from eggs to the 30 ton Mike boat. During the cruise the First Division dropped anchor some N times, off loaded and back loaded the beach camps, and handled mooring lines, all without a single mishap. The skillful mooring job in Hong Kong was proof of how First Division can work efficiently and effec- tively as a team. On the way back to Pearl, First Division wetted their brushes with some 90 gallons of paint to pre- pare their spaces for return to our Home Port . ' , ri if X.: Q,-1 E4 4 . ,.
