Situation Report
Sources on board your ship have reported in advance of morning quarters that you’ve got medical today.
While details are still sketchy, your Leading Petty Officer (LPO) has confirmed that this morning’s Plan of the Day lists your name as one of a handful of Sailors from the command who have to report to medical.
The reason you have medical, however, is not yet clear.
“I don’t know, he probably has to get a flu shot or some shit,” said your aforementioned LPO, while holding up the POD to reporters. “The reason isn’t always printed on here. It’s usually just a list of random names squashed between the safety officer’s note and some blurb about Navy heritage.”
