| First Division |
| Some people refer
to this division as the FIRST DIVISION while in reality it is more than just the FIRST
DIVISION. It should be called the FIRST DIVISION because before the ship can go any place
or do any thing or even just stay in port, this division must go to work. It is the
responsibility of this division to maintain all of the decks, lifelines, gigs, and any
other material that aids in the operation of the ship. This division may be called the
FIRST DIVISION because it is made up of those rates that were really the first of the
NAVY, that is the Boatswains' mate and plain hard working seaman. No ship of any country
has in the past or will in the future be able to get along without the FIRST DIVISION. |
