SH3 D WRIGHT sHsN B. HART T sHsN A MIRANDA sHsA E. CAPRIO Storekeepers played jokes on their favorite chiefs by moving the creases on their unyforms over by four inches. S-3 congratulates SHCCSWJ Balanza and SHICSWJ Lardizabal on becoming real surface warriors. The HIDDEN services did not slow down in port or at sea. The barbers kept cutting and the laundry crew worked with or without water. The real hero of S-3 had to be SHZCSWJ Bouyer who kept the homefront happy with flower orders. Several plankowners were still on board for the second cruise including SH2 Reid, SH2 Shank and SH3 Wright. With a blend of new and old crew, the Gator Pit remained stocked with semi-cold sodas and popcorn. The deployment came to a close with great success from the services division which will be noticed in MWR activities of the future. Wea es vga , -, feat V. ilzfqgll 'LW7 ws HL, K i A. 7- sg.
