With the USS Helena, SSN-725 back in port, your Council caught up on some Sailor of the Quarter Awards.
Presentations were made for the 1st and 2nd Quarter Jr and Sr Sailors.
These awards were missed while Helena was deployed.
Also presented were the Official USS Helena, SSN-725 WESTPAC 2008 T-shirt.
T-Shirts to our adopted submarines became an OCNL tradition beginning with the USS Salt Lake City, SSN-716 in 2004.
These shirts are designed by OCNL President Bill Forrey and given to each member of the Boats crew.
Helena crew members are allowed to wear them as part of their uniform on certain days.
