WATCH, QUARTER, AND STATION BILL, The watch, quarter, and station bill is a summary of assignments of the various ship’s bills. Your division officer is responsible for making the watch, quarter, and station bill assign- ments within your division. However, we know chiefs train the division officer. You must be aware of the division officer’s duties in order to train him or her. CONSIDERATIONS IN ASSIGNING PERSONNEL The watch, quarter, and station bill (fig. 7-1) should be posted in a conspicuous place. All division personnel must have a ready reference to make sure they report for their assigned duties when required. It is important that you verify the personnel qualification standards (PQS) of each person in your division before making assignments to the watch, quarter, and station bill. Ideally, you want to assign the most qualified person to each billet. You should begin making assignments by referencing your ship’s personnel assignment bill. This will provide you with billet numbers for each person assigned to your division. Next fill in the rate; name; conditions I, II, III and so forth; abandon ship; and cleaning station columns. The other columns, such as special sea detail, fire, and landing force, are taken from the ship’s bills. The senior watch officer will request that your division provide people to fill these details. After you have completed your division’s watch, quarter, and station bill, provide each person in your division with a billet slip (fig. 7-2). The last step is to provide a copy of the watch, quarter, and station bill to the senior watch officer for approval and incorporation into the ship’s master watch, quarter, and station bill. 7-1
