well today we get underway with our new Strike Group.

also, i was informed we are on Hurricane 'Dean' Relief Standby. we might venture out to the Yucatan penninsela and hold fast if until we are called upon for assistance.
pretty cool; not the hurricane, but the fact that my ship was tasked with such a thing as hurricane relief. shows how popular the Nashville is and how highly we are thought of by the bigwigs.

anyway, if we do end up helping, that could mean a star on our newly awarded Humanitarian Efforts ribbon.

Go us!
