Through their long ser- vicc the Chiefi'Petty Officers have learned how to do a job by doing it. They are our instructors,f our watchdogs, our administrators and our friends. Through close liason between officers and crew they see that thefwork goes right on, Among our Chiefs is the Chief Master at Arms. He is seen around the ship enforcing the ships' orders, and in general is the local representative of the law. However like all the Chiefs his duties are varied, and along with the others can be found doing anything necessary to keep a ship running smoothly. l 1 ,'.' I in ie,e Q N t a li X T E.. GMC.

TIMBALIER 'became a familiar sight sailing between Coco Solo, San. Juan, Puerto Rico, Kingston, Ja maica, and Guantana- mo i'Bay, Cuba. At this time the TIMBALIER had the distinction of being the only AVP- type tender in the At- lantic Fleet assigned the sole missionrof seaplane .N-.N-.-. ,- .. 45.1.- '-.'7iY'1'1ZE:2:-. 1:5121 gi:- ' ':1:i:1:I:i:1 :3:3:1:I:1:3:5:3 225221212:Q:f:f:f:f: 4 ' ' ', ef f 1 WV? ff? f ,f - ee f f' f' ,-'F -5Ei525:.:41'i i3 ':izl:7:1:1:2:?:2:I:-1-:liz-:pg-:-. -:-:5-:gz-.5::::3:g:i:::-:3:3:::1::' :.::::::::::::5:1:::1:::::::g:g'e -'-2-: ,:::1:5:5:31g21-:2:1:-:1:ff1:-.-.- ' 1- . 7,1i'fx A e .... - t ....,.. .. ..,. .... . 1 ..

Ll The F division's main responsibility is the maintainance and upkeep of the ships' only protection, her guns. Even though never actually used in Combat, the T IMBALIER's guns were always ready to prove that loving care paid off, as everyone remembers from the number of sleeves shot down at Gitmo Bay and various other gunnery exercises. LTJG HEALD and his men also con- ducted various small arms qualification practices at Coco Solo to help relieve the boredom of Canal Zone life. -c 'L The F division also puts the teeth in the aerial attack as they are respon- l sible for the ammunition, bombs, and pytotechnics that put the punch in out charges, the PBM's.c r V ' - -12-
