Well here we are at Tatum Park in Levin, the lower of the North Island of New Zealand for the start of the 2016 Trillion variety bash. It all kicks off tomorrow for a week earlier today before the bash even officially started. We did have a presentation at a school in Bulls. The bus turning up, just the kids were beside themselves excited, which is great. They swam like the one that we're going to put on will be inclusive for children in wheelchairs and all ages. Don't forget to follow us on Facebook, it's going to be a crazy time.


Secretary of the Navy, Donald Bull Ray Mabus, announced some major changes coming to the fleet. In particular, he brought the Navy's GMT program to a halt. Elementary, repetitious, time-consuming task of general military training just don't achieve that end. Therefore, beginning June 1st, I am ending GMT as we know it. We're going to stop all Department of the Navy-directed GMT on Navy knowledge online. What we're going to do is we're going to let the Command Triad, the CEO of the EXO and the Command Master Chief, to determine if and when training is needed.
