An old saying says that Many hands make Hght work. For the hundreds of Sailors and Marines who have been assigned to a working party, the saying is particu- larly apt. For such evolutions as underway replenishment, mail and cargo handling, extra hands are absolutely essential for accomplishing the mission. Most personnel assigned to working parties are E-4 and below. On a major stores move, the incoming supplies seem endless. The working party forms a human chain, moving the cargo from the flight deck, down to the hangar to the conveyors for transport to the reefers, storerooms or | freezers. The men and women of HST% working parties are truly unsung heroes, performing a vital and thankless job for the benefit of all. S46
