I tryed to post this in the MV9 forum but I assume that's restricted access.

Although it may have escaped the organizers of this wonderful event, some of our members have something important to celebrate this week.

13 October is the U.S. Navy's birthday. We usually celebrate with a traditional formal ball. Many just chose to just raise a glass to our shipmates past and present. No need to detract from or adjust the itinerary at all, there's plenty of time for those Sailors and Landlubbers alike who would like to join us in a toast to the United States Navy. Since I will probably still be on watch until Friday evening or Saturday, If anyone would like to join me in that informal toast with a glass of grog, I'll suggest a place to meet on our scheduled off time. Just let me know if your interested and I'll arrange a place and time. It would of course be open to all regardless of service or civilian status, just a healthy respect for those who served.

There's a great pub located in the Hotel lobby. I'm sure you'll have plenty of members joining you for the toast.

Happy 236th!!!

I'd be happy to participate and represent the U.S. Army, the senior service. :D

Grog is fine ..... as long as I don't have to swallow a goldfish. :fish:

P/S. -- they had 50 fire extinguishers in the room when they lit my cake at MV8. You're gonna need at least 3 fire trucks for the US Navy cake. ;)

Damn Squids need a reason to drink. Instead of your so called 'Grog' have some 'Black Death' if you really want to celebrate.

Grog in Navy terms is usually beer or rum. The only definition of Black Death I'm familar with is the Bubonic Plaque. You Army guys really know how to party. Just what are you testing in those labs? I think I'll stick with a Guiness.

Just keepin mind there may be a coin check:beer:.

Glad to hear there is some interest among the group

Hotel lobby is fine. I don't want to sideline any plans you guys have in motion. Have you listed the hotel yet? I must have missed it if you have.

We are awaiting the MM.net Admins to sign off on the contract and then we will announce the hotel and open up booking.
