There will be lots to do around New Orleans. We will have planned group tours, Silent Auction, and Raffles tickets will be sold for a Two Dogs Diving MKV Helmet for one lucky winner.
Please help pass the word around. If anyone has any questions at all please let me know. My goal is to have this reunion our largest ever. We are specifically looking for more east coast former navy divers to attend this one where they have always been more towards the west coast. We would very much like to welcome you all that have not attended one of these fantastic reunions. It’s always been a blast in the past. We have always encourage and welcome all spouses and significant others to join us.
Can’t wait to see everyone at this huge event.
