Quote of the Month- "There’s this misconception that the navy is this cruise ship, and you get to go out and sail around, and every now and then you have to swab the deck. But no, it is a very impressive group of young people that live at sea, in a place that’s very uncomfortable. They exude a pride that is well-deserved." -- Tom Hanks MISCELLANEOUS ANNOUNCEMENTS Trivia of the Month: Did you actually read the POM?
