Providing the finest apparel and geedunk (in large volume) to the crew, S-3 Division generated $52,000 in profits in our first year of operations. This enabled the purchase of a ship ' s van, sports and recreation equipment, and provided for holiday and port visit celebrations second to none. Fine tuning our efforts has resulted in increased sales, better service, and increased output in the laundry, enabling us to provide daily, one-day service to our crew, helo detachments, and the staffs of Carrier Group EIGHT and Commander, U.S. Coast Guard Caribbean Squadron. Meticulous recordskeeping and constant attention to detail resulted in our ship receiving no grade below outstanding during an integrated support assess- ment assist visit. Entering our second year, the ship ' s service- men have their gaze fixed steadily on earning the coveted Blue E and the RSG Mayport nomination as best ship ' s shore afloat.
