Day 5

Work continues onboard with loading the last of the stores.  Today, cadets also participated in both abandon ship drills and fire drills.  These drills are conducted to build familiarity with their assigned roles during emergency situations.  We are also welcoming a few cadets and staff from Texas A&M on board.  They will be traveling to Texas with the ship, gaining experience on board to assist the rest of the Texas A&M cadets when they board.
