A note from the Skipper...

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Greetings from the Africa!  I have now had the pleasure of seeing all of the Mad Foxes across the three different deployment sites.  Your spouses are doing great and making a difference across the world flying a variety of dynamic missions as well as taking care of Sailors.  Your Mad Foxes are doing great and time is flying by.  I sincerely appreciate the love and support that you give your family members which allows them to work so hard and do well.  Deployments are not always easy for both spouses as well as the service member.  And yet, we both have ways to make it better.  On deployment, your spouse keeps busy by working out, studying, doing their "ground job" and bounding with their deployment family, i.e. their crew.  At home, the OSC is a great way to provide support for each other through monthly events as well as the Over The Hump Party.  Also, the Family Readiness Group (FRG) is for both officer and enlisted spouses to work together and support each other.  The power of a Team will always make things better.  Thanks for looking out for each other.

In addition to checking out the FRG, I hope you have had an opportunity to check out the Patrol Squadron FIVE Facebook page.  It is a great way to keep up with the Mad Foxes.

I know there are lots of great activities coming up to include:
25 February 2011 - FRG Meet and Great
5 March 2011     - OSC Over The Hump Party at Copeland's
12 March 2011    - FRB Over The Hump Party at the NAS Jax Bowling Alley

Again, thanks for you support of the Mad Foxes!

Sincerely,

Skipper JJ
