Great award winning article in Marine Corps Gazette by the prolific LtCol Glen Butler who isn't afraid to tilt at windmills.
As a female, I definitely agree about restarting ladies' nights and advertising them to the general public. Every time I've been to the O'club here, either for lunch or for happy hour, I've been 1/1 or 1/2 females present. Women don't like sausage-fests either.
O'Club revival, saving AWGs, and building Katapults are all in the same vein.
Saving our traditions and legacy NEEDS to be done. And I can't do it alone. Write Hook/RotorReview/Proceedings articles, ask Flag Officers, support your Club.
