SKI Paul Ferries SKI Terry Robertson SK2 Randall Regalado SK2 Elton Truesdale SK2 Robin Willis SKJ Ben Balk S-1 The Stores Division is responsible for providing material support (supplies) for the entire ship. Responsibilities include procuring, receiving, stowing, issuing, and accounting for all general stores, repair parts and consumables. If S-1 doesn ' t have what is needed, it can be ordered through the supply system just like mail order. Additionally, the stores division is responsible for the fol- lowing functions: maintain financial ac- counting records, coordinate all open pur- chases, oversee surveys of material equi- page, and provide parts support to other BBBG ships. S-1 also runs MO-MART , which al- lows customers to shop for common items much like they were at a convenience store. It is with great pride that the stores division meets the goals of keeping the customer satisfied and MISSOURI reads for sea.

Feeding 1600 hungry crewmembers is no easy task; the MS ' s run the galleys 24 hours a day at sea in order to make sure their shipmates are fed. From the Teak- wood Inn to the CPO Mess to the bake- shop and veg prep , teamwork is the key to success. But food prep is not the only job of the MS ' s. There are food supplies to be brought on board, stored and issued, mess decks to be cleaned and maintained, pa- perwork to complete and equipment to keep in excellent working condition. The MS ' s and messcooks are there to do it a A battleship is more than just steel and guns, it ' s people. Food Service Division personnel are just some of the people who keep this ship sailing smoothly. MS3 Bucher cooks hoicakes for hungry crewmembers during an early breakfast.
