Hello! Since the time we suggested the Happy Hour we have learned that Olivia is going to have the same informal event on Monday. Please adjust your schedule and plan to meet and mingle with military and veterans on Monday. No point in duplicating effort! See you soon! 

Tammy & Tracey

Oh my...something else to look forward to...I'm a sucker for a woman in uniform. Sigh.

Great! I'm retired AF ('98). Looking forward to sharing stories with y'all. Was thrilled with the latest from Panetta on women in combat coded positions...honored to be one of 12 officers testifying about this back in March 1990.

Great idea! Just might get out the old Class A's to see if they still fit.

My partner, Linda, and I will plan to attend.

I retired from the Navy in 2006. Since then, I've gotten involved with nonprofits and am working on my PhD in nonprofit management. I will be interested in hearing more about MPFC. 

Thank you for arranging this meet and greet!

Sounds great!  My spouse and I are Navy veterans (and she retired) and we have a couple of others in our travelling group also Navy but Air Force as well.  Looking forward to making the connection!

Very cool Tammy & Tracey, My wife does not still have her uniform as she served in the AF 1949-1953 at Travis as a weather person. When off base she & her friends would go into the very secretive gay bars on the wharf of SF. She has great stories....So Grateful for Don't Ask Don't Tell to finally be over....

Military/Veteran/Uniformed Officer Happy Hour 5 Feb

I would like to invite military, veterans, and uniformed officers for an informal, no-host Meet & Greet on Tuesday, 5 Feb, 5pm-ish, before dinner ("At Sea" day). Looking at the ship layout, probably the Ocean Bar is a good space. I will put a note up at the Olivia information table confirming the location.

This cruise includes Tracey and my own first "Formal Night" cruise since the repeal of Don't Ask/Don't Tell-- I look forward to wearing my dress uniform and no longer having to hide! Thank you to all the Advocates who made this possible.

See you soon!

Tammy Smith & Tracey Hepner, Arlington VA (Army Family)
