Sue, thanks for the good wishes. 14-10 Grad events are just around the corner for many of us (Delta /Charlie Co). Thanks to all of you gals, your thoughts and prayers have gotten them through without a doubt! We would love your continued thoughts as we approach next weekend to experience this 'once-in-a-lifetime'. I'm humbled at what these guys/gals have gone through. They are up and out the door early so we can sleep late. They have set aside their rights to personal comforts so that we can be comfortable for days on end. I am free to make a shopping list while shopping is the last thing on their list. Special blessings to all of these men/women who will serve us well as new Officers.

I apologize that I haven't included the N4M's in our discussion of wanting to do our own Meet & Greet (mostly discussed on FB) before seeing our LOs. We wanted to do this because we have all become internet friends and wanted to meet in person.
It was decided that we would all meet at the Newport Creamery which is on the border of Middletown and Newport at 208 West Main Road 02842. It is no farther than 5 mins from Navy Lodge, Best Western or Holiday Inn Espress. They will set aside a part of the restaurant for us and we can order individually from their menu. They have a variety of b'fast choice. Their web site is www.newportcreamery.com. if you want to check out their menu.
Our meeting time is 9:00am on Thursday, May 6th. Of course, if our LOs have liberty, they are welcomed to join us. We have the restaurant from 9-11am.
Please let me know if you are interested in joining us if you have not already responded on FB.
Looking forward to meeting everyone. -

Heard some of our LO's liberty got cancelled for Wed pm, in case anyone was getting picked up from the airport, and that someone is on med leave because of a bad beating. Bummer.

I just wanted to say thanks to all on this site. You have been a great support. My husband and I attended 14-10's graduation and it was great!
I also enjoyed meeting so many of you on Thursday morning - our own Meet & Greet was a success. Thanks to the Newport Creamery for allowing us the space to meet and the food was delicious.
I know that I will join other groups on N4M as my son continues his training and eventual assignments. Again, thank you all for your support. -
