Yef wifhin fhe firsf half of fhe Twenfiefh Cenfury fhere have been few men in our nafion who have nof served in.fhe milifary ranks of fheir counfry for some reason, pafriofic, professional, or of necessify. Men come fo fhe Navy from all walks of life and in a hosf of ways. Each is a sfory wifhin ifself: fhe kid 'rhaf had a fighf wifh his girl, joined fhe Navy, and refurned fo marry her: 'rhe I8 year old whose singular purpose is fo see fhe world: fhe veferan who's seen fhe lean and fhe good years come and go: and fhe reserve who leff wife and family fo do a iob fhaf someone had 'ro do. Educafed almosf universally in civilian insfifufions, a man's firsf impression of fhe Navy is usually confused, Accusfomed 'ro fhe convenience, comforf and freedom of fhe mosf advanced civilizafion man has ever known, fhe change fhaf is necessary in becoming a parf of our counfry's naval forces is immeasurable. Boof camp . . . life ou+ of a seabag . . . uniformify and high sfandards . . . a yeoman wifh a fypewrifer and quesfions . . . 'rhe firsf uniform wifh ifs sfrange feeling and awkward fif . . . and a corpsman wifh a needle and nof much fime. The world of fhose days is a sfrange combinafion of newness where each evolufion merely adds fo fhe complexify. Why is so much repeafed emphasis given fo maffers which are seemingly so small? The conveniences and individualify of civilian life are soon leff behind in a fransformafion as complefe as a man ever experiences, lf is a fribufe fo fhe ingenuify and'adapfabilil'y of our people fhaf such a radical change in fhe way of life can be accomplished so easily and wifh such rapidify. Wifhouf fail fhe day arrives when a man's name is enfered info fhe log of his firsf ship. Life again becomes a mixfure of sfrange faces, uncerfainfy, and fofal unfamiliarify wifh fhe large number of passageways and decks of a modern warship. Drills and roufines . . . fhe sacrifices and irrifafions of a life where hundreds of men live wifhin inches of each ofher . . . rninufes and hours fhaf drag by in endless waifing and monfhs fhaf race away . . . a 'ropsy-furvy -world af fimes in which only fhe mosf necessary acfion can be accomplished . . . and fhe fraining over and over again unfil every acf is seemingly a nafural reflex, Time, fhe greaf benefacfor, and experience, a greaf confribufor, bring a slow undersfanding fo life af sea. The meaning and significance of maffers which were so difficulf 'ro undersfand in fhe beginning becomes obvious and clear. If is as fhe monfhs roll info years and sfafion is added fo sfafion fhaf a man gains fhe confidence and abilify of a naval veferan, Perhaps fhe mosf heralded incidenf in fhe early hisfory of fhe American Navy was fhe vicfory over fhe Barbary Coasf pirafes abouf I800. From fhaf day fo fhe presenf fime our counfry has senf or mainfained a fleef in Mediferranean wafers whenever if was deemed necessary fo fhe well being and profecfion of fhe Nafion. Today 'rhe Unifed Sfafes Sixfh Fleef under fhe command of Vice Admiral John H. Cassady mainfains our firsf line of defense in fhaf area. Dufy on foreign sfafion as parf of such a fleef is a memorable parf of fhe naval career of fhe men who par- ficipafe. The opporfunify 'ro see 'rhe lands and people of fhe Old World is an inferesfing experience. Afhens, lsfanbul, Rome, Paris, places fo which some of fhe noblesf civilizafions of fhe world may be fraced. The cusfoms, life, and living condifions of almosf every counfry on fhe Tideless Sea may be wifnessed firsf hand: 'rhe sfimulafing effecfs of fhe sun seffing on 'rhe sharply defined hills of soufhern France or ifs unevenfful rise over fhe quief of Suda Bay, Crefe. Time wears 'rhe novelfy away. There are no fourisf agencies 'ro provide privafe accommodafions or arrange a personal ifinerary. A heavy operafing schedule and a iob 'rhaf musf be done are given fhe fop priorify. A slow longing arises as fhe days pass for a refurn fo fhe Sfafes and one's own people, If is perhaps wifh some small regref buf eager anficipafion fhaf a man looks forward fo fhe day 'rhe relief ship comes alongside. Somehow fhrough if all, fhe good and fhe bad, fhe frying and 'rhe enioyable, a man seems 'ro refain only fhe beffer parfs of his dufy in 'rhe Navy.

AT any Time during The day or nigh+ They musT be pre- pared To handle any sorT oT message Tor a member oT The crew or a high prioriTy dispaTch. The radiomen siT in on The various circuiTs To send and receive TraTTic oT all kinds. They man The Tour radio spaces and operaTe and perTorm prevenTive mainTenance on The TransmiTTers and receivers in Them. The Telemen are The yeomen of The radio gang. They wriTe up The ship's incoming and ouTgoing dispafches. wheTher They are handled by radio, signals or mail and see ThaT They are rouTed via The communicaTions messenger. They musT check and double check all dispaTches To insure ThaT proper acTion has been Taken, Then They are responsible Tor Tiling Them. The Telemen see To The upkeep oT The TeleType machines ThroughouT The ship and sTand press waTches so ThaT ship's personnel may be kepT inTormed oT world evenTs. Some of The personnel are posTmen and are required To work long, irregular hours. While in porT They sorT all The ship's ouTgoing mail, pack iT in bags and see ThaT iT geTs To an ouTgoing plane.

The CS Division is small, abouT TwenTy-Tive men, so iT is necessary ThaT each man be able To handle The various Taslcs ThaT mighf be given To him. An adiuncT of The division is Tormed by The OperaTions DeparTmenT yeomen who Tend To The adminisTraTive deTails oT The deparTmenT. The signal bridge is Tound on The O3 level, iusT one level down from The open bridge. From This vanTage poinT, The signalmen exercise Their skills. While underway, The signalmen TransmiT and receive all visual Torms of communi- caTions, are on The loolcouT Tor any TormaTion changes, course changes, oTher ships, shore sTaTions, and aircraTT. All signalmen musT lcnow The name, call, hull number, Type and posiTion oT every ship wiTh which They operaTe. They musT commiT To memory a mounTain oT daTa and procedure which musT be aT The Tip oT Their Tongues aT a momenT's noTice. The compleTe masTery oT Tlashing Iigh+s, Tlag-hoisT signalling and semaphore are basic require- menTs To The signalmen. This requires a Tlexible mind which can observe, analyze and acT in a spliT second. iWhen The SALEM arrives in porT and The ship's call and speed cones are hauled down, Then signalmen are ready To TulTill Their in-porT duTies. The CS Division malces and repairs all oT iTs own Tlags and pennanTs. IT mainTains and replaces all signal halyards. The signalmen are responsible Tor The uplceep oT The signal bridge, signals aTT, and The TwenTy-Tour inch searchlighTs on The O5 level. On holidays and special TesTive occasions, The signalmen are responsible Tor Tull dressing ship and dressing The quarTerdeclc. A signalman mainTains a radio and visual waTch- on every beach guard. A signalman is on waTch in every piclceTboaT and crash boaT. For The rendering oT honors To digniTaries and naTional TesTive occasions. searchlighTs are someTimes used. When This is so, There are signalmen manning each 24 inch searchlighT. - W yu. Y , K.
