Supply Department LCDR Ross J. Doubleda Virginia Beach, Va. Supply Officer Every structure has its own cornerstone and on the BIDDLE it is the Supply Department. Taken for granted like the air we breathe it is doubtful that one could go through an entire day without the assistance of Supply. From the food we eat to the spare parts necessary in maintaining the sophisticated equipment, all hands are dependent on the Supply Department. Few people realize the vast area covered by the men in S- 1 Division. Storekeepers comb the numerous storerooms which are stocked with tens of thousands of consumable items and spare paits. Ship ' s Service- men contribute to the well being and morale of the crew. They stock and man the ship ' s store with the necessities of everyday life like toothpaste, soap, cassettes, towels, and combs. There is also a special ordering service for items throughout the world. They also keep the soda vending machines running, cut the crew ' s hair in the Barber Shop and wash the crew ' s clothes in the Laundry. Disbursing Clerks contribute to the crew ' s morale in probably the most important evolution: Payday. They also handle travel claims, dis- location settlements, savings allottments, foreign currency exchange and other related tasks. The Mess Management Specialists (MS) of S-2 Division take care of the crew through one of it ' s most vital parts: its stomach. They serve a balanced diet of hot food in the three daily meals. Plus, underway serving the midnight snack, midrats, and take care of special luncheons for visiting dignitaries. As well as the responsibility of timely food preparation, S-2 Division is also charged with the never ending task of keeping the mess decks clean. Only after extensive planning, by the experienced Commissary men, is the end product presented to the crew. Being one of the primary morale factors, the general mess realizes its responsibility to please the crew.
