app! I-'T-IG DON C: WATTERS Oh, go complain to the government, not to me. SUPPIY Offlcel' You're getting every penny you're entitled to. Now the Supply Officer please report to the bridge. With the familiar summons still in the air, a tall, harried figure comes scurrying forward to answer a question about one of the many functions of his department. Although just the size of a division, no other department is so diversified, so integral to the functioning of the ship as a whole, so helpful if you know how to utilize their skills C Service is a pleasure J or so often misunderstood C Damn supply. D It was a long deployment, and throughout. it Supply kept us fueled, fed, stocked and paid. If we were understocked, why nothing was simpler than talking Mr. Watters into firing off a priority 2. Yeah, right??? And if you just cou1dn't stand even the thought of any more roast beef, Broyles always had plenty of gedunk. Funny how he made S100 a day on candy. What a ship's store ? ! Almost 350,000 in sales, and now everyone has a stereo tape recorder, an iridescent Jimmy Luk suit, and a big, flashy watch called Rolex. Of course, you couldn't get any tooth paste, deodorant, shoe laces or change... There was always the laundry if you needed a good cry. Whites came back blue and blues never came back. After a while the men had to stand their uniforms up to thaw overnight, yet somehow the Supply boys always had pressed dungarees. Things went pretty well for Supply, in fact, until the day when all the adding machines broke down and there wasn't any authorized substitute. We had to CASREP the whole Department then, and we haven't had one since . ' y FRANCISCO M. ARNALDO sus WILLIAM BARTOLOMEY JR. SA WILLIAM L. BROYLES S142 Q tt . ANGEL M. coscA JR.
