A-Gang - lots of bilge diving, polishing their, ahem, diesel and making sure The Bomb continues making O2.

E-div - t-shirts with acid-induced holes due to diving the battery well, complaining about fixing the CO's hot water heater, and yelling at junior RC-divvers trying to qualify E-div watch-stations.

M-div - diving bilges, doing a rain dance to get the evaporator to work properly, and wearing the michelin man suit during drills.

RL-div - almost as bad as the sonar girls. They only work once a day while underway and spend lots of time hiding in the lab during field day.

RC-div - keeps the tea kettle safe. Overworked as Logroom Yeoman. Qualified to stand the E-divver's primary watch-stations as well as their own. Highly-qualified coffee technicians before getting to sit in the big boy chair.

Did I mention which of these I was once upon a time?
All true. But the kid was smart and didn't sign up to be a nuc.
