aw fu CWO2 S. VOLCHKO CHEF LICKS LIPS AS OTHERS WISTFULLY EYE TRAY OF SIZZLING BEEF. SWEET SMELL 0F SUCCESS ln the short space of a week the crew of the LEX consumes 3000 loaves of bread, 2785 gallons of milk, 9900 pounds of potatoes, and 1200 pies. Well aware that a well- prepared meal makes for a contented, well-prepared ship, the butchers, bakers, and mess-cooks of S-2 work long and hard at the business of maintaining the traditional quality, and quantity, of Navy chow. Aside from the cooking and serving of three regular meals per day, the division must also be on the job to provide Nearly breakfast for Flight Quarters personnel and to make up special rations for watch-standers. The Navy may not travel on its stomach in the manner common to other branches of the service, but the sweet smell of successn purveyed by S-2 certainly contributes in no small way to the motive power of the LEX. iwfrs QI.
