On the 71st anniversary of the D-Day landing at Normandy we saw clear skies and calm seas for our second day in a row. Bravo missed much of the great weather as they conducted training on confined space entry but Alpha and Delta made good use of it, working on more painting projects and rinsing out the swabs.
