  • US Navy Supply Corps
    SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER 2017 SUPPOs Supplying the Fight A Message from the Chief of Supply Corps Recognizing the central importance of supply to establishing the Navy, President George Washington laid the foundation for the U.S. Navy Supply Corps in 1775 with the appointment of Tench Francis, a Philadelphia businessman, as the country’s first Purveyor of Public Supplies. Francis provided vital support to the first Navy ships, and started our tradition of selfless service. The Navy’s trusted providers of supplies, our supply officers (SUPPOs) keep operations running smoothly to support the mission. But they can’t do it alone. Working as a team with their skilled and experienced enlisted members, our SUPPOs are experts in our field who know inventory and financial management, food, retail, postal operations, and disbursing management. They are leaders and problem solvers who tackle complex challenges to implement effective and efficient management solutions, ensuring our customers’ needs are met. To be “Ready for Sea,” we must be professionally ready with the skills to operate in all our lines of operation. We also need character readiness, demonstrated by our integrity, accountabili- ty, initiative, and toughness. Lastly, we need to be individually ready; to be fit, healthy, and ready to meet the demands of the fight. This issue provides insights from our SUPPOs’ important work as they meet the unique needs of their various commands. Like the pursuers and paymasters who have gone before, SUPPOs uphold our rich heritage, and embrace their responsibilities to support the warfighter with a servant’s heart. Our SUPPO’s success depends on their character and competence, knowledge of the shore infrastructure, relationships with our professional civilian workforce, and on the enlisted members they lead and serve with.

    1 The U.S.S.Georgia & The Mystery of Seaman Benjamin Kreiger By Jerry Klinger U.S.S. Georgia Benjamin Kreiger – “Hero” of the Georgia 2 “The things you do for yourself are gone when you are gone, but the things you do for others remain as your legacy.” Kalu Ndukwe Kalu “Quick Wit and Bravery of Gun Loader Prevented a More Terrible Accident.” The Scranton Truth, July 18, 1907 “The truth is rarely pure and never simple.” Oscar Wilde Captain Henry McCrea of the U.S.S. Georgia and Rear Admiral Charles M. Thomas stood stoically on the bridge with their field glasses glued to their eyes. They watched with approving smiles as the just fired shell screamed through the air toward the distant gunnery target. The sound of the heavy booming thump from the 8” gun in the aft turret had not faded when the frightening cry went up to their ears “fire in the turret”. Inside the turret something had gone terribly wrong. It was an instant. It was the longest minute. It was death pouring out smoke, fire and horror from every crevice of the aft turret… The gun crew of the aft turret was working frenetically, a mechanized machine of steel and muscle hoisting new powder to the just fired gun. The starboard (right) gun worked in an alternating synchronized dance with its sister 8” gun on the port (left) side in the turret, loading and firing, loading and firing, time and again, nine times so far in less than two minutes. The officers and crew wanted to show the Admiral they were the best.

I suppose I need not tell you that as regards Hawaii I take your views absolutely, as indeed I do on foreign policy generally. If I had my way we would annex those islands tomorrow. If that is impossible I would establish a protectorate over them.
