Delta Company breathed a sigh of relief this afternoon as they became the first company to complete the second round of training exams. Juniors finished up with their flashlight exams, while freshmen took their very first drawing exam. This evening also marked the second Iron Mariner competition, with Alpha Company taking home the honors, participants gaining the privilege of post-muster breakfast for the next week. The big news on the ship however, is the sighting of a raft full of Cuban refugees headed for Florida last night.
