Blue Starflags

Hello again all.

Since my son signed up last summer, I  have given thought to the Blue Star flag. I know about them and the use in WWI and WW II. My Fathers Mother's flag had three blue stars. My Mothers Mother had one Blue Star. Sadly that Blue star had to be covered with a Gold star when the Indianaoplis was sunk.

It would seem that the Blue Star Flag is being used again.

Anyone know of the current proper respected use of the Blue Star Flag ?

Best Airport for PIR 2-7-14 ?

Southwest flies into Midway and Milwaukee. Milwaukee is cheaper with a straight shot to Great Lakes. Since we are from Florida and never seen snow much less driven in it, I thought the interstate might have a better chance of being cleared off but I don't really know how all that works.

Happy New Year 2014

Let's try a little edition

Of trying a piece of deck log tradition

The new year is logged in rhyme

The OOD's special writing time.

CO and XO

Are top of the page

Special positions

Don't start their rage

We write of the course

Bearing and speed

State of the plant

And what's on most

Inport we tell of the lines

What number, type, size,

And of what kind.

The watchstanders on Deck

Are given a line.

The CDO, POOW, and…
