i SUPPLY LTJG MICHAEL MC ENNIS Supply Officer The Supply Department provides several very necessary services and forms the vital link be- tween the rest of us and the spare parts and supplies which are hidden in the recesses. of this ship's storerooms or are held by some warehouse halfway around the world! Several rates are represented in the department, which is not broken into divisions. The-Store- keepers QSK'sQ are the ones .to ask for those spare parts, which they can usually find in their hiding places on board. If the parts are not aboard, the SK's are also the wizards of numbers-- Federal Stock Numbers, repair codes, manufacturer's part numbers, circuit symbols, dollars and cents which come from volumes and volumes of columned numbers, or from the SK's heads. Ship's Servicemen perform a variety of tasks, most of which are appreciated by the crew as direct benefits. The SH's can be found running the Ship's Store, washing, drying and pressing laundry, and raffling off foreign merchandise. The Commissarymen QCS'sj break out cases and d TN' cans and boxes of food, and prepare the 700 meals a day for the mess decks. The Stewar s Q s and SN'sj provide the same services to the officers, some cooking, some acting as ' 'table navi- gators, and others seeing to it that the mess in most staterooms is kept clean. The most appreciated item supplied by the Supply Department is distributed twice a month and ' th ' ht ' nt to is colored green.
