USS Schofield FFG 3
Supply Department

The ship's supply system consists of MS's (Mess Specialists), SH's (Ship's Servicemen), SK's (Storekeepers) and the DK (Disbursing Clerk).

Very important to the crew and officers is the MS. He prepares and cooks our food. It is a very difficult job trying to please 250 men three times a day.

SH's provide the little luxuries for the crew such as a fountain where munchies caon be purchased and the ship's store where shaving and toilet items along with various gifts can be bought. All profits from these stores go to our ship's welfare and recreation fund.

SK's are a very necessary rate to the operation of the ship in that they order and issue all ship's repair parts plus foods and fuel. All objects required for ship's operation are ordered through the Storekeepers.

Last but certainly not least is our DK. The man woh maintains all our pay records and updates them everytime any change comes into effect. In the opinion of most crew members, the DK and Disbursing Officer are the most important people on the ship.
