S-2 Division is a small division but they perform their great tasks with high dignity and outstanding results. There is no job too big for so small a di- vision. During the South China Sea Operations, S-2 Di- vision had their job cut out for them. They earned their new nickname, the can-do division. Under the professional guidance of Fuller, SDC , and Yeranon, SD1, a smorgasbord was served in the Wardroom which made the officers think they were at the Balai Hai. While in the tropics the food was light but plenti- ful. A large number of personnel of S-2 Division arc- residents of the Far East and many took leave to visit with their relatives while in that area. Leave was granted to all who desired it, but S-2 Division kept rolling. 62
