This month we were able to meet two out of the four SOQs at our luncheon meeting. Unfortunately, two others from NWSSSB, were unable to attend. The week following our event, all of the sailors were gathered to receive plaques from their respective commands. Because of the situation, which happens sometimes, we have two photos to go with this column. At our meeting, the two SOQs from NMC were dressed in whites and were presented to our group by CDR Erik Franzen, the Executive Officer of NWSSB. Also pictured are Gramps’ Staff Officers who make the presentations possible.
