President’s Corner

Spouses,

Well, it is the beginning of a new year for NOSC! I would like to start off saying Happy Father’s Day to all of the Dads! I would also like to thank the previous board for all their hard work! This past year was great and I know this upcoming year will be just as amazing!

Here is a little bit about myself (I feel like most of you know me, so I will keep it brief): I am currently a stay at home mom to Hunter (2 yrs) and Lillian (6 months) and wife to Todd Jepperson (Jep). Before having kids, I worked as a registered nurse in pediatrics. One day I will get back to it, but for now I am happy staying home and looking forward to being active on the board again this year!

As president, I am here to help make this group what you want it to be! After all, it is what we make of it! I want to hear from you….the good and the bad. I am also here for support, so please email me or call me and I will do my best to help.

I look forward to getting to know you all better. See you soon!

Sincerely,

Erika Jepperson

Silver Tea

Today Yvonne was presented with her invitation to the Silver Tea. Tradition is that the COW is surprised by the delivery of her personal invitation by a member of the squadron in dress uniform carrying the envelope on a silver tray. Today we caught Yvonne off guard at her daughter's volleyball game! Watch the video below to see her reaction.

The Silver Tea is a long standing Naval tradition which honors the outgoing Skipper's spouse with a tea hosted by the NOSC. This year we will be holding our tea at the Museum Cafe at the Art Museum of Oklahoma City. Look for an invitation in your mailbox with details. Hope to see you there!

Chili Lunch

Check out the photos from the NOSC Valentine's Chili lunch held on Wednesday at the squadron. We had a great turn out and were successful in reaching our fund raising goal for this event. Thank you to everyone who sent in dishes, chili, desserts or helped serve!

Everyone got a free Valentine sweet just for stopping by!

We raffled off a basket of spa treats which went home with a lucky winner to give to their sweetheart!

The guys really enjoyed their home-cooked meal!

On the Move

Last Friday at our monthly gathering we met to discuss the ins and outs of military moves. Carolyn from Airman and Family Readiness came and gave a presentation on the resources available to us on and off base to help with the stresses of moving.

We all know that the military loves their acronyms so here are a few that you might encounter when planning your move...

PCS- Permanent Change of Station

HHG- House Hold Goods

NTS- Non-Temporary Storage

POV-Privately Owned Vehicle

DLA- Dislocation Allowance

TLE- Temporary Lodging Expense

TLA- Temporary Lodging Allowance
