| These
15 enlisted men, under the direction of the executive officer, conduct
a great deal of the ship's business. In the ship's office, the
yeomen
handle the brunt of the paperwork generated by the various departments
on the ship, the personnelmen handle the entire job of service records
and personnel transfers and orders, and together they share the tasks
of
compliling everything from seralized letters from the command to daily
printing of the plan of the day. Late hours, long days hovered
over
the typewriter, and much time spent in delving for the correct way to
do
things in a number of manuals - this is their job.
Often working in a behind-the-scenes capacity, X Division is absolutly essential to the operation of the ship. |
