I'll just have to echo what Uli said.  It was such a nice meet & greet, especially since it was my first.  Such a great time chatting with other Navy moms.  Thank you so much, Kathe, for putting this together, and thank you to the other moms (and the dads) for a great day!

Boatswain's Mates (BM) train, direct, and supervise personnel in ship's maintenance duties in all activities relating to marlinspike, deck, boat seamanship, painting, upkeep of ship's external structure, rigging, deck equipment, and boats. BM's also operate and maintain equipment used in loading and unloading cargo, ammunition, fuel, and general stores.

This is an enlistment program option which enables men and women to enlist without a specific rating. Such "seamen" are called Boatswain's Mates, and remain so, unless/until they "strike" (apply) for a Navy rating (job) at a later point in their career. Most recruits who enlist under this option due so because the rating of choice is not available at the time of their enlistment.

The duties performed by Seamen (Boatswain's Mates) include:

• serving as helmsmen and lookouts;
• repairing, maintaining and stowing equipment in preparation for underway operations;
• working in non-engineering divisions of the ship or station;
• standing security watches while in port and under way;
• operating sound-powered telephone systems;
• doing temporary duty for 90-120 days with food services divisions or compartment cleaning;
• serving as a member of damage control, emergency and security alert teams;
• participating in naval ceremonies;
• taking part in underway replenishment (transferring supplies from ship to ship at sea);
• working with qualified personnel to gain job training and experience.

Yea, the link says to bring something easy like cheese & crackers or something.  I'm not sure about drinks though.  I'll probably bring my own.  See you all tomorrow.  Dunesmom, I see you in Feb.  And if I have to, I WILL share my cheesecake with you!
