Doc Panico, Doc Dando, and the C0 serve it up. KHAKI DINNER On November llth, the khaki community hosted a meal for the crew to show their appreciation for a job well done during the cruise. The officers and chiefs were assigned jobs by the Chief Mess Specialist Lou Solomon and the Food Service Atten- dents assigned to S-4 division at the time. From the beginning the khakis set out to show their intent to provide service to the crew. The menu consisted of pizzas, sodas, baked beans, creamed corn, chocolate cake, and soft serve ice cream. The biggest thrill for the crew was watching their favorite or most hated khaki as the case may be get their hands and other things dirty while washing dishes, bussing tables, and taking out the trash.
