Book excerpt: As a ship's serviceman (SH) you will be involved in the daily operation of the retail and service activities of an afloat or ashore supply department. SHs can be tasked to perform the duties of a laundryman, barber, ship's store operator, holding location custodian, or records keeper. In addition, it is important for you to start early in your career to assume the added responsibilities of being a supervisor of a retail or service activity. The varied supply demands of the operating forces and shore establishments of the Navy require procurement, storage, and a distribution system with a scope unequaled in the commercial world. The term "supply system" is used to describe the integrated activity of the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and the Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) that procures, holds, and issues materials to the operating forces and shore activities.
