AT The sound oT The call Tor CapTain's lnspecTion we see a Thousand men emerge Trom The hidden inTerior oT The U.S.S. BALTIMORE, and wiThin a surprisingly shorT Time sTand in neaT miliTary ranlcs over her main declc, awaiT- ing The scruTiny oT The Commanding OTTicer. As we persue These ranlcs individual idenTiTy is losT in The numbers. WiTh- ouT concenTraTing on his TeaTures, Trom The Top oT his head To The Tip OT his Toes, The appearance oT The sailor or oTTi- cer we see is The responsibiliTy oT The men oT The S-2 Di- vision. Those glisTening whiTe haTs emerged noT Too long ago Trom The exTracTors under The supervision oT The laundry- men. Washday in S-2 Division runs noT only everyday buT every nighT as well. As we proceed downward we come To The hair. lT may be red, or blaclc, or blonde, bu+ The Tonsorial operaTion is The responsibiliTy oT The men oT S-2. WhaTever The sTyle, The BAl.Tllv1ORE'S barbers sTand ready, Their TrusTy shears in hand, To lower The ears oT all who approach Them, We nexT glance aT The Tirm, seT iaw which is cleanly shaven and realize Thar only a liTTle earlier This man sTood close To a razor and a blade. NOT only These, buT The aTTer shave loTion, The TooTh pasTe, The soap This man uses: The perTume he senT To his sweeThearTg The clock he senT To his moTher: and The counTless liTTle iTems Thar make liTe more worThwhile are made available To To him by The Ship's STore operaTors oT mighTy S-2. ThaT blue uniTorm we see was probably pressed in The Tailor shop, and The crow or lace on The sleeves was puT There by S-2 Division's needle experTs-The Tailors. The very shoes ThaT glisTen in The sunlighT are lcepT in Trim by The S-2 Division cobblers. Yes, Trom The Top oT his head To The Tip oT his Toes, The person we see aT This inspecTion is our responsibiliTy. We miglvr say ThaT morale and service is S-2 Division. RIGHT TOP: ThaT's TiTTeen cenTs. CENTER: Mass producTion. BOT- I TOM: The corner general sTore. Everyday is washday
