LTJG R.G. Searcy ff .5 1, 7- 3 I --1 NoT THE ees-ggrus-1' T HE TQLLQST H HS-1 ,, DIVISICDN ENS M. Fiore The Stores Division proudly claims the motto of Maritimum Servi- tium. Twenty-six men coordinate the identification, ordering, accounting, stowage, stock control and issue of the 60,000 items comprising the l.8 million dollar load. The storekeeper's iob is never finished. As soon as the ship returns to CONUS, the load is brought to full allowance. Loading plans are started in preparation for deployment, in addition to normal supply support for repair operations. The usage data of the past deployment is reviewed, and suggested increases in depth of high usage items and new items are requested from the customer departments. This information is analysed through stock control and coordinated with the storerooms to plan an orderly loading comm- encing 90 days before deployment. During this planning period the storeroom personnel are conducting material maintenance, inventories and restowage to accomodate anticipated new items. Following the predeployment loading, the stock is stowed and receipts posted dur- ing underway operations in order to be ready for issue when the destroyers come alongside. Overseas, resupply requisitions are submit- ted 90 days in advance of receipt based on anticipated demands. Normal supply support operations are conducted and usage data collected to aid in the next deployment. Throughout the cycle, manuals, catalogs, accounting records and correspondence are kept current on a day by day basis. Needless to say, these iobs demand Hobbs, W.F. many extra hours for all hands. However, the personal satisfaction of a job well done in service to the fleet is the desired and iust reward. Simmons, V.V. Hardy, R.D. i Watkins, H.K. T M
