- !S- Division 3 g, MSI Logan MSI Cummings MS2 Veal Feeding the crew four times a day, every day of the deployment with never a day off was the task for the Mess Man- agement Specialists. How much chow was that, anyway? - Over S428,900 in food! - More than 286,488 meals were served, exceeding 52,000 sliders and 20,000 pounds of steak and chicken . . . must have been those steel beach picnics! - Five all-hands working parties -- over 25 backbreaking tons each, totalling over 200 tons of food! MS3 Flores MS3 Watson MS3 Wood MSSN Hart MSSN Kusar MSSN Mantooth MSSA Murray MSSN Peterson MSSN T urnley -4 Di i ion DKSA Johnson Did you know that the ship left Little Creek with over S830,000 in cash?! What hap- pened to all that money? Throughout the deployment, the disbursing office quietly ensured that everyone received their correct pay. Over 82.3 million was paid out on paydays. What's more, over S350,000 of that went to the crew directly through the ship's ATM. CWives and girlfriends . . . do you know about split pay ?j The disbursing oflice cashed an average of 115 checks gag-lglay, or about 20,000 over the cruise for more than S294,000. 7200 withdrawals were made from the ATM, but only 500 deposits were recorded. So much for the theory of saving money when you go on deployment! Mscfsuo Winn Cf x 6 .li. ., Y I in Even though it's the smallest division on the ship, everyone on board owes S-4 a debt of gratitude. Unfortunately, the division looks even smaller because the two LPOS that split the deployment, DKl Dvorak and DKl Rich, were unable to meet with the photographer. Why? So that we could all get paid!!
