The main function of S-2 Division is to provide the crew with three squares a day. lt is one of the most popular divisions aboard ship and why shouldn't it be, everybody likes to eat. The main part of S-2 Division is the galley. Along with the galley, we have the butcher shop, bake shop, issue room, spudlocker, Commissary Office, and many storerooms. Many hours of hard work go into the preparing of food for Doc Piedmont's crew. Every morning around five o'clock the cooks and bakers are up preparing breakfast while most of the crew are asleep. Around six that night they are finally calling it a day. Isn't it nice to be able to go on early liberty when a holiday arises, or when you have received Rope Yarn Sunday? Yes, for the rest of the crew, but the cooks and bakers are still aboard, it's iust another day for them. In order to have provisions so that the crew can eat, part of S-2 Division has to order, receive, and stow both fresh and dry provisions. Many tons of provisions have been loaded aboard the Piedmont before and since leaving San Diego. Many of the crew can recall these words, Now the 25 hand provisions working party muster with Hibdon, CSI, in the forward ship's service compartment . S-2 Division has it's iob to do, and it is well appreciated by the crew. It's a great division of hard workers and GOOD COOKS. But the Commissarymen don't comprise the whole S-2 Division, We still have the Stewards. They take care of the Warrant Officer's and Officer's staterooms, cook and serve their food. The Captain's food is prepared, served, and his cabin is kept spotlessly clean. When we speak of S-2 Division, we know not only the crew is well taken care of, but also the officers. Logan, W.B.
