Gents,
I had hoped to come to the meeting in October but I will have to take a rain check. For those that may know me I was stationed on the USS Texas for almost 6 yrs and I just got out the Navy.

I have returned to all the joys of civilian life and to spending time with my family and I just will not have the time to attend. Things are going well though for me, I have found a great job working in the field that I love (IT) and I have some free time again.

Don't get me wrong, I miss being on the boat at times. Doing all the cool things we do and most of all my friends. But it was time for me to move anyway so I did.

But now I do have time to spend with my family and time to spend doing some submarine gaming which I plan on doing more often.

So, Neal I thank you very much for the chance to go but I will not be able to this time around. I would also like to thank Neal for being such a great guy and for being awesome to me and my family when the USS Texas was being Comissioned in Gavelston.

Again thanks

Ahoy Mike,

Very sorry to hear you cannot make it, but there will be a next time. :yep:

best
Neal

I had been planning on this trip for quite some time, however, recent events mean that I cannot attend. Wife's recently gone out of work and we've got a rambunctious 6 month old.

Sounds like a hoot of a time, will have to make the next one. Hope everyone has a great time, though I'm sure they will!

Its comfirmed, cannot attend due to work commitments.:nope: But I will try to make it next year (where ever it is).

I wonder how this is going to work out with the storm? It's too early to find out if the Cavalla is still there.

May be postponed if damage is substantial...what im seeing a reading now is they were hit quite hard...CNN live is there if anyone has cable...

Look on the bright side...if it's posponed I may be able to make it....:up:

Duh, hellooo ... it's a submarine :lol:

Don't worry about the USS Texas either it's encased in coffee grounds for the last 60 years :arrgh!:

better hope they didnt go Blub Blub.:lost:

That's what I told my mom when she told me Houston was hit hard, I said, it's designed to sink :up:


But overall, I hope everything is okay :doh:

Clearly everything is not OK: http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5j...hP9vwD936RH8O0

21 people dead and counting...
No power to Galveston for at least a month...
Thousands without shelter or at least significant damage to their homes...
Boats scattered all over the place...
Businesses disrupted for unknown periods of time...
Oil production facilities damaged or closed until further notice...

This is going to take some time to clean up.

Does this mean Anne Margaret is NOT coming??? :hmm:

Despite the recent events, I am sure all the people attending will make it a trip to remember http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...ies/pirate.gif

Heck Tarjak,

That sounds like the aftermath of some of the Biker parties I go to!!
:rotfl:

Yeah and I hear there is just as much wind at those too:rotfl:

LMAO :rotfl:
