"Went to PLAT today. Checked out of OPS & into Air Dept. I found out I'll be getting flight deck pay. Started working night shift, 24:00 to 12:00, tonight. I'm LPO of the shop. I'm easing my way into the routine of the shop slowly, it'll take a few days. Got a dawn launch to prepare for, also got to get the deck edge cleaned."
