Two messes are involved, the Captain ' s Cabin Mess and the Wardroom. Commanders aboard the DIXON, as well as visiting dignitaries dine with the Commanding Officer in the Cap- tain ' s Mess while all other officers, led by the Executive Officer take their meals in the Wardroom.

The Disbursing Clerks in the Disbursing Office keep busy not only preparing regular paychecks, but registering allotments and researching eligibility for special types of pay, such as sea and submarine. Always aware of their impact upon morale, the DK ' s made special efforts to pay the ship ' s crew early before liberty in Pearl Harbor, Subic Bay, and even Diego Garcia.
