S-2 DIVISION The brains of the outfit! Imagine having 370 guests over for every meal! S-2 does it every day. three times a day, 365 days a year and with great aplomb! Good chow is the norm for the MOB as the stewburners turn- to from 0300 to 2000 providing ship ' s company with three hots! Voyage Through History crowd. Sea Trials hordes, steel beach BBQs. Ney Food Service Excellence — no problem! I hate these formats MSs preparing for the coveted Ney Award.

SI DIVISION 5- s Storekeepers ha ve a warehouse full of 30.000 spare parts (rumor has it that SKC is building an Aegis cruiser in his garage!). The SK ' s stand ready at a moment ' s notice to provide a replace- ment for that critical part which just malfunctioned. Without a good stores division, warships cannot sustain pro- longed operations. Based on the MOB ' s first- year successes, her SK ' s are the best! I coulda ' been a contender! S|j You want how many rolls of toilet paper?

S-3 DIVISION S-3 means service — keeping our laundry clean, our hair cut. our batteries fresh, and coffers stocked with hats ' n stuff in the Ship ' s Store. S-3 makes our ship a home and rarely gets the credit it deserves. A combination of Sears. K-Mart. Walgreens and Safeway. the cash drawer is always full down in S-3 land.
