LONGSHORE, does things like controiing funds, accounting, Data processing, receiving and issuing material. The Personnel assigned are Store- keepers, Machine Accountants, and Data Systems Technicians. The S-i Division is divided into four sections. The Supply Office, under the able supervision of CAIRME, Storekeeper First Class, handles the accounting, departmental correspondence, and customer service phases of the division. He is assisted by PO ' s 3rd WALKER and ETZEL with Seamen CURTIS, HENDERSON and SKELL1E taking charge of the menial tasks. Cairme with the help of Etzel, Henderson and Curtis have the task of keeping the customers confused, with such brilliant statements as It was shipped 6 months ago— you should have it — maybe? or That one was cancelled so we recordered something different because we knew you didn ' t know what vou wanted ; all other things failing — Come back to- morrow. The green eyeshade (accounting) tasks are handled by Walker and Skellie. The Stock Control section is under the supervision of Chief HEWITT with HOLSON, AK2 (our happy Aerodale) as his No. 2, maintain the Stock Records, allowance books and technical publica- tions. This happy little group is rounded out with addition of PO ' s 3rd CLINE, DRESSER, PIKE and LOBITZ with one lonely Seaman DELLES. In the process of reordering supplies to keep the storerooms filled with the more than 70,000 items carried by Isle Royale they have developed the Philosophy that If we don ' t have it, you don ' t need it. — or If the customers would just go away, we could get our job done. They manage to take the frustrations developed from processing the 6 to 9 hundred pieces of paper a day out on the village post office bv reordering the thousands of items received by parcel post. The fifteen storerooms are maintained bv Chief RANDBY and his 10 man crew of NIS NC special- ists PO ' s 2nd KING AND PRICE, PO ' s 3rd REYES, AND NORTON with Seamen ROLAND, BROZEK, JOHNSON, WHELTON, HOLLIDAY and FORMHALS tending the task of hiding the material so no one can find it. Keep up the good work, gang. Also in the bunch we find BITNEY, SK 5 our Outside Storekeeper— The procurer — with famous last words — If I can ' t get it — it can ' t be had. — he hits the beach each morning. Last but not least we nave the paper doll contingency who sit around all day and all night punching holes in cards to add to the general confusion of all; the ADP section headed bv FARMER, MAi assisted by PO ' s 2nd SMITH and JARBOE, PO ' s 3rd SAUL and McGUIRE with Seamen SEAMAN, LINN and CHAPMAN (No mistake, all names are for real). The prime task here is to keep the monster (UNIVAC iroo Computer System) properly fed. To complete this group we have the monster ' s keeper, Data Systems Technician 2nd PERRIMAN. So much for the S-i Division — May your confusion be profound.

S-2 Division entered WestPac with mixed emotions, the nostalgia ol leasing our loved ones behind combined with the excitement and anticipation of the coming ports. Of the many ISLE POYALE firsts on this cruise, the one that effected S-2 Division the most was our extended stav off the coast of Viet Nam. During this period we were forced to rely upon our seldom used dehydrated products in lieu of fresh produce. But due to the versatility of the - ha ntlled without a hitch. pro bk- ms were Gee it is edible ! ! ! DA ! What Jo I do now ChieJ . ' . ' Ire you am s j or real ? Just ii little more flavoring
