Up the ladder — lemonade — coffee, sandwiches — and so it goes all day and most of the night for the boys in S-2. What with meals to cook, and dishes to do, and rooms and beds to make and clean, its no wonder that they keep saying they ' ll make good wives for some women. ■■S-2 M DIVISION t 23

S-l DIVISION 22 Supply Corps means chow and cigarettes and pay to most of us. But it also stands for spare parts, for clothing, for the myriad things from fuel oil to rags that make the ship go, for paper work, chits, stubs, and long truck trips for supplies. . . . Hey, Draper, what ' s the stock number for scissors? Save me a foun- tain pen, Mason, will ya? Can I get in line for more ice cream? This orange drink stinks. . . . Boy, those bakers are good. JJ, something ' s wrong with my pay. And so it goes.

There are the Dit-Da-Happy Radiomen; the Yeomen, who daily answer a million questions of, When ' s liberty start, May I see my record ; the Signalmen, when in port, always get the old standby, What ships are in the harbor ; the Radio Technicians; the Quartermasters, and the Radarmen, who are always hearing the old refrain, What ' s the bearing on that target. 24
