In addition, they are responsible for the ship’s 2. 5 million dollar annu- al budget and all open purchase and CASREP requirements. They are the men who handle all incoming stores, be it by UNREP.

The meals ranged from the traditional bacon and eggs (more than 111. ()()() eggs were cooked during the cruise) to the more exotic Wog Day Breakfast and steak cookout.
