s 4 D I V I S I O N The Disbursing division maintained strict accountability over the crew ' s $3.3 million dollar annual payroll. It goes without saying that the Disbursing Office is the most popular office onboard prior to pulling into a liberty port! Throughout the Middle East Somalia deployment the Disbursing Office cashed over $700,000 in checks - now that is what I call liberty money! Behind the scenes and after customer service hour, DKl Loanzon and DK3 Reidy transmit hundreds of pay documents each month from the ship to Navy ' s pay center located in Cleveland, Ohio. The disbursing Clerks were among the most popular sailors aboard CHANDLER THIS DEPLOYMENT - especially on payday! Prior to deployment, the Postal Division was part of the Operations Department, but now it is a new addition to the Supply Department. The Supply Department has always focused it ' s attention on customer service, so the change was in the best interest of the crew ' s morale. PC2 Diggs singlehandedly ran the postal operation and kept the entire crew in touch with family and friends back home. Through out the entire deployment, CHANDLER ' S post office processed over 300,000 pounds of incoming letters, care packages (cookies or presents), and official mail. While CHANDLER was on station in the Persian Gulf, all letter mail was free to crew members. We were proud to offer this morale boosting service to the crew and even prouder to welcome PC2 Diggs ' Postal Division to the Supply Department.
