Kusber -TH 81 6-TH 5th and 6th Division of Deck Department is a hard charg- ing unit with many important and demanding responsibil- ities. Personnel assigned are in charge of the storage and issuance of cleaning gear on a weekly and quarterly basis for the entire ship. With six thousand personnel onboard, this is a major task. Two paint lockers are maintained tone forward and one aftl for the control of paint issue for all of the ship's depart- ments. When interior spaces require painting, 5th and 6th Division's spray painting team is tasked with painting the overhead in a timely and professional manner. During Med Cruise 82-83, Deck Department was espe- cially concerned with the training of new arrivals. New personnel reporting aboard assigned to 5th and 6th Divi- sion received instructions in the Boatswain's Mate rating. A strong emphasis was placed in the care, safety and use of job related equipment and materials. 5th and 6th Division runs a PMS team that is tasked with the upkeep of all the ship's two hundred and thirty life rafts and thousands of inflatable life jackets. They are responsi- ble for the cleaning and preservation of the ship's sides. This in itself is a monumental job and it is one in which the men of 5th and 6th Division have a deep seated sense of pride. SN Fl.K. Woodrow SA B. Breining SA T. Carr SN M.E. Swanda SA J.
