Ol DIVISION lst Row: Byrd, YN3, Stubbs, RDI, Miller, SN, Dingman, RD3, Rader, RD2. 2nd Raw: LTJG Kershner, Betteridge, ET3, Bruner, SN, Allen, RD3, Miller, SN, Sirles, SN, Clement, ETC. 3rd Row: White, SN, Olsen, ET3, Fruechting, SN, Foster, ET2, Beauchamp, PNI. A visitor walking past the Ship's Office, hearing the continuous clack-clack of the typewriters, knows that Holmes, YNC, and his yeomen are busy at work. The noise may be emitting from Byrd, YN3, typing out the smooth deck logs, and Fruechting, ISN, cutting a stencil for the Executive Officers Plan of the Day, and Beauchamp, PNI, making entries in the service records. If this visitor happened to wander astray and found himself in a darkened room behind the pilot house, he might find Stubbs, RDI, calling out to Dingman, RD3, to give range and bearing to an unidentified skunk. Olsen, ET3, and Foster, ET2, might also be found in the corner repairing some equipment. Rader, ET2, and Betteridge, ET3, may be found in the ET shop trying to fix LTJG Kershner's radio in an effort to score a few points with their division officer. Clement, ETC, might be found nearby in the tube locker requisitioning a tube from a storekeeper. All in all, Ol Division can be commended for keeping the ship informed for operations.
