KIKS The crew ' s daily needs depend lieavily on tlie men of our Montrose ' s Supply De- partment. They are a vital cog in a machine that keeps our ship operating from day to day. The Supply Department is always a scene of brisk activity, which, to the outsider, may seem to be a mass of confusion. It is the home of more than half the ship ' s records. Disbursing clerks are constantly searching through manuals and in- structions which allow shipping over, commuted rations, shore patrol, per diem, and travel allowance pay. The DK ' s are also responsible for registering allotments, and. of course, holding pay day twice a month. The Ships Servicemen are primarilv concerned with the keeping of the tradition- ally high Montrose morale. Services performed by the SH ' s include operation of the laundn, barber shop, clothing and small stores, and the various vending machines. Storekeepers are non technical expeils, who when called upon (usually after taps) may issue anything from the well-stocked storerooms. an}lhing from magna- trons to tablet paper. The SK ' s are responsible for all die storerooms, as well as receiving, sorting, stowing, checking, and distributing stores. The Stewards are mainly concerned with keeping the vast wardroom country in a neat and pleasant manner. The Commissarymen have the busy task of preparing three meals a day for over 300 men. This is a job that never gets any better but. at times, will get much worse. When the call goes out for the Montrose to cany a com- plement of Marines, the CS men are faced with 1500 additional mouths to feed — and we mean hungry mouths — three times a day. ,CKER ECKENRODE HENRY MANGALINDAN L RSH TAGLLNAO SELZER S V SK3 7- A ' sm S S.V C.S2 S.V
