We imagine everyone at home is getting tired of hearing about our great weather but it has prevailed yet again today. Two sides of the aft house have been primed and we are set to get the top coat on tomorrow. Bravo 2/C finished their final training module and prepare to take over the watch at midnight tonight. Charlie is coming off of watch and will be taking over utility while Delta shifts to maintenance and Alpha starts its final 3 training modules before Portland.
