“
FIRST DIVISION DECK WEAPONS The Deck Department set out on a battle against rust during the Mediterranean deployment. Armed with 1,500 gallons of paint First Division worked hard at their never ending battle against corrosion. We were able to accomplish over ninety percent of the painting,” said BMC Leland H. Maxam, leading chief petty officer in deck. First Division preserved and painted everything from the maindeck to boatdeck, and also over the side. Painting wasn’t the only goal Deck Department accomplished while deployed. Getting the deck personnel PQS qualified was also an important task during the Mediterranean deployment,” said Maxam. We trained the crane operators, boat coxswains, helms and Lee helmsman. Deck Department started out with only three qualified boat coxswain at the beginning of the cruise, but had a total of 18 at the completion of the deployment. They received a lot of that training in the 1,400 liberty boat runs made in Naples and San Remo, Italy. Conducting over 1,000 crane lifts the Deck Department added another skill to their qualifications. First Division also completed over 9 percent of their PQS qualification. “We had no set plan on how to go about getting our goals accomplished, said Maxam. We just saw it as something that had to be done.” Although you can’t attribute the success of Deck meeting its goal to one single thing or person, you can attribute it to a group of people working together, according to Maxam. The people that worked for Deck could have made First Division and the ship look good or bad,” said Maxam, I had good people and I feel that they made us look good throughout the deployment.” OFFICERS AND CHIEF PETTY OFFICERS First Division Dcck Weapons BMC Leland Maxam BMC Michael Watkins
