DAMA GE CONTROL fs John Ingram Damage Control Officer Nothing aboard ship is more feared than a raging. uncon- trollable fire. lVith this in mind, the ships ofgficers decided at the onset of the 362 cruise to inaugurate a trained damage control team. This team is now under the able leadership of John Ingram lfc. Together with Commander Clark, he works this unorganized group into a close knit team trained in the use of fire fighting and damage control equipment. They accom- plish this through frequent exposure to the ships equipment and frequent training sessions. Cn the cruise a prolieiency is developed and exhibited many times during weekly fire drills. During these drills, the teams face many experiences and haz- ards which would be confronted during an actual lire. Upon returning to the College the Administration decided that it would be a distinct advantage to continue making use of the damage control crew. They therefore continued Cadet Ingram's rate into the academic year and charged him with keeping the damage control crew proficient in the dorms. He has been able to do so through frequent training sessions. T B ck, B. Kahler, J.
