During the long period of our opera- tional committments on this cruise, our schedules were often uncertain and sul:- ject to sudden change. Time afte r time - and on short notice - we loaded our Marines and their equipment aboard and landed them on the beaches or Vietnam. We spent endless days oft' those beaches, supporting the troops ashore with equipment repairs and supplies, and even acted as a rest and recreation haven, offering fresh water showers, hot meals, movies, and warm racks for the weary. The MONTICELLO acquired such a reputation with the troops who used her welcome mat that she received messages of grateful appreciation from the Commanding Generals of both Marine and Army Forces. We had days and nights of much work and little sleep. but we had our happy times too. Although the liberty ports were few and far between. when ashore in japan, the Philippines. Okin- awa. or llong Kong. we conducted ourselxes in ti manner which added to lile reptitatioii of the ship.

Administered by the iixecutiwe O1'1'iet'r and supervised by the Xaxigator. it works its separate functions rt-lated only by the common factor that they are part ofthe team. However, each division performs a pertinent service, which in the end result helps the MONTICELLO to fulfill its mission. 8 1 xti it NN 1 1 1 1 41.1-L. ciigfs, o1.1sN5 11.13. 14010, QM33 c.D.

This pro- cess uses morning and evening stars. sun lines, the moon, and various planets to fix the position oi' the ship. However, our up-to-date Navigation Department also uses electronic aids, such as radar, the Loran 5y5LeIii qutilizing . ' ' I radio beamsl. and the fathometer. This equipment is constantly worked during inclement weather when visibility is limited. Charts to water ways all over the world are changing constantly, and correcting them is a never ending task for the Quartermasters. They are also responsible for the ship's log. which is a daily diary oi' the ship's position and important happenings on board. whether at sea or in port. l, 5, b- DIVISIO , , ' llit- oltl clicln- llmi yeomen .mil ptiiwoziin-lam-iz are the p.ipt-if slii1l'llt'i's ol' the N.ix'y is just .is true on the NlOX l'lt'l-fLl-U.

Research is cu r- ried out through the num' directives or manuals for the proper procedures concerning reports. mak- ing proper entries in serv- ice records, disseminating information on educational and training programs, legal matters, uniforms, and the all-important liberty card. Anything that goes on paper, more often than not, involves the friendly Ship's Office. DIVISIO The primary duty of our Medical Department is the care of the sick and injured. However, many additional functions other than sick call and patient care are perform- ed by these Hospital Corps- men. Records administration, sanitation, supply. first uid training, health hygeine. pest control, immunization, X-rays, and prescriptions are ti few sidelines of the men in white. While over- seas, more than 10,000 per- sons were seen or treated by the corpsmen, not to mention medical assistance given to other units and personnel.
