27/6 – Out on the town in Newport

”Community service projects this morning before Liberty. These are some great cadets – deep clean of their compartments and heads (bedrooms and bathrooms) then right to work weeding, cleaning tarps and repainting the display guns outside of Ripley. And not a complaint to be Heard!”

Och efter detta var de helt klart ute och seglade men om det vet vi egentligen ingenting…

Åsså lite skönsång 🙂

26/6 – Kayak day

”Today was a beautiful day for kayaking down on the river! IEP cadets really had a fantastic time and the weather was beautiful. For lunch/chow they had what we in the US call MRE’s, also known as ”Meal Ready to Eat”. There were a lot of ”traffic” jams but the cadets got the hang of maneuvering the kayaks fairly quickly! ”

”Cadets eating MREs some are good some are ”interesting”.”

25/6 – US Coast Gard day

”Yet another great day! We took a trip to USCG Station New London, and the USCG Academy. Cadets learned about the USCG’s boats, weapons, rescue procedures, and about its elite school the USCGA. We had a fantastic meal in the USCGA’s Officers Club with the Admiral of USCG, it was an honor to meet him and for him to welcome us! Cadets then returned to Newport and had base liberty, going to places like the ”NEX” and the internet cafe. Overall cadets had a terrific time.”
