This picture is from the other day when we received the 28,000 lbs of mail! Since we are at the end of the supply line we had a stockpile of stuff waiting for us … 653 pallets of mail, food, supplies, and other items of goodness. Finally the ship's store was restocked with things other than redhots and slim jims J . Na, it wasn't really that bad. Notice that all of the aircraft are parked up on the bow or "forward bone" of the flight deck, this is because we needed to make room for the huge amount of stuff that we transferred by helicopter. The water is pretty blue eh? It's warm over here. The funny thing is, because of the heat, when I think of home I picture it being summertime. But from what I hear it's more like 30 degrees.
