H2 A ship at sea, especially in WESPAC, must be able to sustain itself. Its crew must be fed, paid, given haircuts and laundry service. Thousands of items must be ordered, stocked and issued to keep the ship in operation. This is the mission of the Supply Department and Service is their motto. FORT MARION is particularly noted for its fine services. Its ship ' s Store and Soda Fountain rank among the best in the squadron. The Disbursing Office is always available with friendly and timely financial assistance. The Commissarymen keep the gaUey working twentj four hours a day to provide the crew with balanced, nutricious and well prepared meals. The Stewardsmen perform the same task for the officers and insure that the wardroom quests are well cared for. The Storekeepers order the needed materials, insuring that no requisition goes unfilled. Let us not forget the Ships Servicemen, who put in many long, hard hours operating the laundry and barber shop. Supply on the Fort is truly R. F. S.
