The classes have been going well. I've been adding and subtracting jokes depending on audience reaction, and I've got the whole thing down quite well by now. I've received some compliments about that, because most Marine Corps classes are dry as dust.

Two classes ago I got a little irritated, I must confess. I was almost done, when the ship called a man overboard drill. So we had to fly off to our shops to muster, then lost a half hour while waiting for the drill to end. Wisely, Gunny P had scheduled a half hour of slippage into the day's schedule, so we'll still get everyone out to chow without missing any classes.

It was actually during my third session that I realized what day it was. I said "Now open your training jackets to Section II, and look for the Follow On NAVOSH training page. Under the "Egress and Explosives" line, put myself as the instructor, and write '03 June 2007' as the date. Wait... June third. That seems familiar. Happy birthday to me."

For desert at dinner tonight they had some nice white cake with strawberry frosting. Mmmm. A delicious birthday cake.
