l GMG3 J.W. Stum AO3 D.H. Watkins AN D. Dutcher SN J.T. Wentz AN H.L. Williams AA RS. Holloway G-3 G-3 Weapons Elevators Division is a vital link in the chain in Weapons Department. With ten elevators to ser- vice the weapons magazines, they are the only means to transport the ammunition up from the magazines to the hangar deck or if necessary, to the flight deck. The weapons elevators are also used during medical emergencies and casualty incidents. They are used so in- jured can be transported quickly and safely down below decks to medical. The weapons elevators are made up of a complex sys- tem of mechanical, hydraulic and electrical components. Although the maintenance and up-keep can be a dirty job taking twenty four hours a day, the personnel in G-3 Divi- sion take great pride in keeping the elevators continually operational. Maintenance on the elevators consists of the Planned Maintenance System, electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic system repairs. These repairs are accomplished by per- sonnel in the Aviation Ordnance Mate, Gunner's Mate, Electrician's Mate, and Machinist's Mate ratings within G-3 Division. Everyone in G-3 Division agrees that the source of their high morale comes from the satisfaction of doing a hard, dirty job extremely well. AOAA K.Fi. Lotter FA FLA. Olverson AOAA D-E Stout AA C.B.
