P'-1 LTJGP.H. Kopfer Division Officer SHCM G.M. Hayes Leading Chief is S S-3 DIVISIO Sales Division CS-35 is comprised of 27 personnel of the ship's servicemen rating who work and coordinate as a team to provide a multitude of valuable crew services. Included in their charter is the operation of the ship's laundry, two barbershops, two vendomats, the Video Arcade, and the Ship's Store. Despite the short notice, the professionals of Sales Division endurance-loaded enough candy, dungarees, cigarettes, sodas, watches, cameras, stereos, soap, detergent and other items for PUGET SOUND crewmembers while deployed, but also enough for those crewmembers of ships alongside in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Having just completed a series of rigorous inspections for the Best Shipis Store com- petition just prior to deployment, S-3 personnel continued to excel throughout the deployment. Providing sales and services in the Ship's Store, vendomats, and Video Arcade resulted in combined sales of over S700,000 and a contribution to the ship's Welfare and Recreation Fund of Sl15,000. Additionally, the division washed over 200,000 pounds of laundry and provided over 2,000 haircuts during this same timeframe. Customer service oriented, consistently well stocked and willing to work long hours to ensure the well-being of their ship- mates, the division's personnel deservedly earned runner-up in the Atlantic Fleet Best Ship's Store competition.

S-4 Dm IO LTJ G D.R. Crosby DKCCSWJ B.Q. Dimalanta Division Officer Leading Chief .4 s I Disbursing clerks in S-4 Division worked long hours during the deploy- ment to straighten out pay records complicated by special entitlements that accompanied the onset of Operation Desert Storm. During the deployment, sailors aboard USS PUGET SOUND became eligible for Imminent Danger Pay and Tax Exclusion privileges as well as normal deployment entitlements to Family Separation Allowance CFSAD and Sea Pay. To add fiirther complexity to crew pay computations, FSA increased to S75 a month and Imminent Danger Pay increased to S150 a month, retroactive to J anuary. The disbursing clerks worked hard to overcome the obstacle of limited communications dur- ing Desert Storm, often spending late hours at the Jeddah Warehouse' trying to contact DFAS in Cleveland to correct pay discrepancies and fax- ing information to start allotments and DDS for crewmembers. The Travel Section of Disbursing handled a significantly increased workload associated with sending numerous Fly Away Teams to conduct repairs on various ships. Disbursing rose to the challenge of substantially more travel advances and travel claim processing, showing vast improve- ment in this area as noted in a SMI Assist Visit. S4 Division also provided foreign currency exchange services in several ports, a well-received ser- vice te the crew. H-M-KM DK1 K Zuhn DK2 M. B. Six DK2 N. Wolfington N.. N--Q, DKSN E. L.
