HIGHLIGHT EVENTS
The Squadron has two social events each year. There is a
Christmas dinner party at the Landfall Country Club in
December. The food, music and Christmas carols made for
a memorable evening. The guest of honor last year was
MGEN “Boomer” MILSTEAD. In May there is a catered BBQ
with all the trimmings. It is held at a private home on
Wrightsville Beach. Food and drink are provided but you
have to bring your own chairs. Photos from both events
can be seen here on the Squadron website.
During the year there are monthly noontime luncheon
meetings at a local restaurant on the third Thursday.
The Hieronymous Seafood Restaurant has been the site for
the past few years. Usually there is a guest speaker
that will give a short talk on a subject of interest to
the members. Guest speakers come from all walks of life
but most are military or ex-military. The recent topics
range from “War Stories” (when no speaker is available)
to the war in Iraq, the Wounded Warrior program, the
Joint Maritime Training Center program at Camp Lejeune,
the Chinese Threat, and the local high schools NJROTC
program.
