Midway (CVA 41) - Naval Cruise Book

Page 116 text:

Payday for the crew — undoubtedly the most popular word passed over the IMC. But for Ensign Don Dellis and the disbursing clerks, it means long hours of figuring and recording before the half million dollar monthly payroll can be distributed. It ' s detailed and painstaking work, and even a single mistake will soon be brought to light by a short- changed sailor. Errors are few and far between however, and the routine of bi-weekly paydays goes off without a hitch. Pay records are far from static, though, and long- evity, allotments, advancements in rate and similar entries must be continually kept up to date. Just to make life interesting, the joys of converting US dollars to MPC or Pesos are added with each foreign port. 110
