Part .support (or some of the complex systems aboard the KIDD can be hard enough when inpoi t Norfolk. In spite of being thou- sands of miles away from home, the -SK ' s provided the required parts at any lime of the dav or night, the SH ' s kept the nioiale of the t i cw ii|) with a well stocked ship ' s store, dependable laun- dr ' service and regulation Naw hair- cuts. There were also some extra pens provided by he SH ' s such as N ' EX mail order catalog items tax free, dntv free alcohol, and towards the end of the deployments, specially ordered Mallo- racan Pearls. We couldn ' t get to Palma, so the SH ' s brought the Pearls to lis. Of course there is also the issue of money. Even though there wasn ' t much of an opportunity to spend our hard earned paychecks out in the mid- dle of the Persian Gulf, some folks had bills to pa back home. Everyone was looking forward to bringing home some st5u enirs from Dubai and liahiain. The DK ' s provided accurate p.t record and check cashing for all liaiids. m 33
