S-5 DIVI I 0 S-5 Division is comprised of 140 spaces which includes the Ward- room Mess, officer staterooms, the Captain's Mess and Cabin, the Flag Mess and associated staff flag spaces. These areas are operated by six mess management specialists and 16 Food Service attendants on temporary additional duty from other departments. Their prima- ry mission is to provide approximately 48 officers with four meals a day Cbreakfast, lunch, dinner, mid-ratsj and to maintain the materi- al condition and sanitation of all Wardroom and stateroom spaces. Like S-2, Wardroom personnel endurance-loaded provisions for the officers mess, including several specialty items. The Wardroom had ice cream up to the last three days of deployment and the tal- ented mess management specialists of S-5 made their own salad dressings when supplies of ready-made dressing ran out. The Wardrom played host to several official receptions and lun- cheons, as Well as assisting S-2 in organizing and catering the USO 50th Anniversary Gala. They also made major material improve- ments to several spaces and procured a number of items that will enhance Wardroom operation in the future. To finish the deploy- ment in style, the Wardroom crew put on a fantastic lobster dinner at a formal sitting on Channel Fever Night. LTJ G D.R. Crosby Division Officer my 1, MSCSCSWD B.B.

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.

Edwards Division Officer 4 1 1 1 Ft, sv I 41.4 l l DSC P.A Clark Leading Chief S-6 DIVISI O S-5, ADP Division, of Supply Department plays an integral role in the IKMAV process and logistic support of the command. Organized into three sections, this division consists of the Honeywell ANIUYK-65 CVD SNAP I Computer Operations Section, the Maintenance Section and the Information Systems Resources Section. The Operations Section, composed of 15 data processors, is respon- sible for providing all departments real time access to data from the following major software systems: Intermediate Maintenance Manage- ment Systems CIMMS-RTJ which is used for planning, tracking, and up- line reporting of all maintenance actions performed by the IMA, Ship- board Uniform Automated Data Processing Systems CSUADPS-RTD used for tracking and ordering supplies and repair parts for all ship- board requirements as well as financial accounting, Administrative Management Systems CADM-RTD used for persormel and administra- tive management. The Maintenance Section of the division performs all corrective and preventive maintenance for the Honeywell ANYUKY-65 CVD SNAP I Computer System using the talents of PUGET SOUND's data systems technicians. These experts have strong background in mainframe com- puter electronics and were instrumental in maintaining the system with only negligible downtime for the duration of the deployment. The Information Systems Resources Section, composed of three data processors, provide training, problem-solving and hardwarefsoft- ware support to all micro-computer users aboard PUGET SOUND. ADP Division, like their other departmental counterparts, endurance-loaded spare parts and consumables to support ADP opera- tions, including the procurement of 11 UNISYS micro-computer sys- tems prior to deployment. Additionally, these professionals arranged a system groom to prepare the operation for adverse environmental conditions and the absence of technical representative support while deployed. i l Left: DS2 Hawes ensures that data is processed correctly
