GET THOSE REAENNGS CORRECT This is the Boiler Division. one ol the largest diyisions aboard Naval steam driven y-essf-ls.Wl1en a ness recruit cotllcs aboard he has already' heard about the snipes and the real smart one wants lo liec-onie a boilerman, I cunit blame him one bit. a boilerman is just about thi- lllosl important man aboard ship. If you need steam for the main engines. just lf-t us lirlus know. Oh yes, do you need your clothes pressed in the tailor shop? hvtillltl you like your laundry done up real pretty' every yu-ek? Maybe you would like real nice. hot meals that really keep the heat in your liorly on those 1-old nights topside. How are you going to find your way around in the dark? Colly, tht- steam driyen ships service generator supplies that! Yes. you're right. the R lliyision personnel make life livable aboard the PSS Salem. I thought maybe youid like lo meet some ol' us and knon how to tell us apart. 'lihompson is the li lliyision tourist in all these foreign ports. The biggest card sharks on the ship are George and Skinny. The most likely to take 4-any'as back title 1955. who has taken the title lor the lust tyyo years flat on his back. Pills Holfman. :Xny time sick hay' runs out of pills they' send a road runner lo his rack. No matter yyln-re you go yfou'll always run into Bentley. Snake Willy and llee over on the beach. Speaking of movies. just name one and Glass will tell you who starred in it. The most talkative. yyell I guess you all know who holds that title. llumdum. Then of course if youire all showered up and donit want to hit the rack just wait around the compartment and keep your eye on the GJ. can and chances are you'll tune in on a sea story brought to your ears by the well known Robert L. The SEE. NO SWEAT tyso rated most quiet are Archie and Belcher. Willy' is likely to start getting bald as soon as he makes Chief. The biggest lioozers are Willy. J. J. Dee. and Moe. the biggest lovers are the Phony 'liwinsi' Rouchka and Sprester. Chow Hounds dlelandsl Hoggie, Skinny' and J. .l.. the four water tenders are Nlcfiullah. .-Xustin. lke. and Erickson. Most likely to ship lor not are Allie. C. li.. Lewis. Bailey' and Klinzing. Day used to hold the title for hawsl but it looks as though Sprester and his running male hold it now. I guess these descriptions should make us a little more distinguishable. See you on the lu-acli. sailors. Robert L. Nelson, BTI BY ll-lE FlRESlDE
