Lt.j.g. Matt Hellman Lt. Rich Iannicca Division Officers S-6 Division S-6 division provides supply sup- port for both aviation and surface elements on board Tarawa. The storekeepers are responsible for maintaining approximately 35 store- rooms of aviation and shipboard parts and componets. While under- way, working around the clock, these men are an essential element in maintaining a high state of aircraft readiness. They expeditiously pro- vide critically needed repair parts to keep the aircraft flying. Once the ship pulls into port, their work con- tinues, bringing aboard and stowing supplies for the next at sea period. Supply Page 260 above: No order is too big for a Tarawa storekeeper to fill.

S-4 Division The buck stops here! Though they may be few in number, but they have a great impact on all of us. The mys- terious few in question are the Dis- bursing Clerks or DKs of S-4 divi- sion. Tarawa ' s DKs process travel claims, start and stop allotments, pay advance pay, issue Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) cards — and arrange for all of Tarawa ' s nearly 900-man crew to be paid twice a month. Lt. Hall and DKCS Filoteo can frequent- ly be seen filling the ATMs with cash or ensuring there up to speed for a three-day weekend. Lt. Daryl Hall Division Officer above: Lt.
