They are called divers to differentiate them from the top siders

of course thats for crews with 3 or more guys

I just want to know what they call the person who keeps the flowers on the hospitality tables looking nice???? I know that they call the Tuesday truck washer/drtailer Truck Driver----

And owners either John or Don-------

Just occasionally wonder if we were still active would the Army have sponsered us???? After all, I was the Soldier of the Year in 1964!!
