I A S-2 I am a commissaryman, better known as a cook. At any rate, it all depends, the yob can be either hard or easy. At times it can be quite horrendous. At sea the hours we work are long. The 'personnel in the aft gallery work 12 hours and are off 12 ours. I know that the rest of the stip work more or less hours but .greaking for myself and the rest of the members of S-2 ivision-we have igpretty hard. We have iust so much time in between each meaL know that we can't produce everything that everyone wants or likes, but we do our best. I also know that there can be improvements. You see, we have to make each product with whatever provisions we have on hand, no matter how large or small the item might be. You can understand how problems arise at times. S-2 is a ver close-knit division, as much .so as any other division on tab ship. You have to get along with the other guy or nothing gets done. When you're serving the meal, it is better My division runs both the fore and aft galleys, which on this shi , is a lot of territory to cover. Out at sea,-when both gagerys are open, the work for S-2 never stops, or it seems that way at least. As for my job, like any other I guess, it's all right, but could be better.

S-3 Our dimsion is S-3. We are mainl concerned with operating all the ship s barbershops, the laund3i'y, the dry cleaning plant, all staterooms and of course, the Sales Office. I 'm a shipfs store operator. I 'm in charge of Ship's Store ff6, an fglficefs cigar store. Also, I 'm an assistant at Soda Fountain ,QL t at sea my hours are about ten a day totaL In port my hours are less. We stand regular duty status just as the rest of the ship does. The work that do is, for me at least, fairly easy. S-3 Division personnel are located throughout the ship. Their duties are performed above decks as well as below. So far, my iob seems to be working out well. Before entering the Navy, my work was closely related to what I 'm doing now. would definitely sa that I do like m iob. Any place that a person works they lsiave their share o complaints and gripes, so, weighing all the different factors I ind that this iob suits me pretty welL I've found out one thing working close to officers besides: they're human beings too.
