The great chili cook-off brought out several grand and marvelous recipes for some hot fun. DIVISIONS Throughout the cruise we learned new skills and honed others that kept the razor edge on our ability to be seaworthy sailors. The Marines were a constant part of everything we did. They showed us a few tricks too, whether it was how to be trees or how to row a raft in Chinhae Bay.

But more it is about what we became and the factors that shaped us.
