N11 ,. fl' ,11 G-1 G-1 Division is divided into two primary crews. One crew operates on the flight deck, while the other is stationed in the hangar bay. The hangar bay crew is tasked with the safe and efficient transfer of bombs, missiles and ordnance accessories. Their responsibilities span from the time when the ord- nance reaches the hangar bay until it is received by the flight deck crew, or returned to G-2 and the magazines. To successfully carry out this task, the hangar deck crew must maintain twenty nine electric forklifts and several hundred weapons skids. Periodically, the hangar deck crew is tasked with sup- port of major underway replenishment operations. They operate forklifts which transport the many types of supply materials and weapons which the ship receives. Also, in support of the Air Wing's air-to-air missile readiness, G-1 operates and maintains a nitrogen purifying unit. The flight deck crew is responsible for the safe move- ment, issue and receipt of ordnance items. They also re- main constantly aware of which aircraft are loaded and the quantity and types of ordnance they are carrying. Flight deck ordnance safety and coordination are closely monitored by the watchful eyes of the flight deck Ord- nancemen, and by the, if you will , Air Gunner. CWO3 E. Scott AOC R. Kimbrell AOC R.J.

' From here, the word is disseminated to the rest of the departmentg POD's, NIMITZ NEWS, Green Sheets, Pink Sheets, Air Plans, Instructions, and Memos. Nothing comes into or goes out of Weapons Department without going through Weapons Admin. With over three hundred people in Weapons, getting the word out to every- one is a full time job. Everyone in the division has become an expert in using the word processing computer tXerox 8609. lt ohurns out more paper work as we improve our user capabilities. Reflecting back on the 1982-83 Med cruise, there were many good memories: Palma, Italy, Egypt, Monaco, steel beach picnics, early rumors, paydays, letters from home 81 getting back from the cruise. It was a good cruise which enriched all our lives. 275 ,..1,, , ' y,y.,.a.-, -.N ..-. -,..-,.,4.. -- -..,..- -gf... .. -L---'f' '-'U'
