Day Sixty-Five

18 October 2006
The Saipan Daily Update is on TV right now. It is a daily news show that the communication team on our ship puts together and broadcasts to the ship (on “site” TV). It is just like a 5-10 minute show directed to our ship community. It is very cute and well done. The “journalists” tell us about our local weather, highlights in news around the world (Hawaii had an earthquake?), sports update (has hockey season really started?), an update of Navy operational news (anthrax vaccine is again mandatory for certain areas of the world such as the one I am in—hopefully, I might be able to just miss that mandatory date!), the “hot-runner” of the day (enlisted person who is elected to the title because of good work), and one journalist goes to a different “space” on the ship and interviews those who work there. Anyway, it is a good show.

The past few days have been busy with routine things. We are moving through cooler waters, which is a nice relief, on our way to warm waters again. We will be quite busy with our next tasking. I am off to work out now!
