They took pride in providing three square meals each day for more than 300 CPOs. They also took pride in providing a unique dining experience for visitors to the ship including the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the D-Day commemoration. Other highlights for the CPO mess crew included a celebration dinner for the chiefs at the halfway point of the cruise. This dinner was complimented with a special performance by a four-piece band that provided a nice touch to the meal. Also, special dinners for the newly advanced chiefs and a Hispanic Heritage meal were prepared by Hispanic crew members. Each arrival to a port was celebrated with a home made pizza feast, an event which turned chiefs into chefs who produced some delicious pizza. Everyone surely missed these special treats upon returning to Norfolk. MSSN Corey Williams S-l 1 Division Supply 511
