Great to have the Women’s Army Rugby(WAR) Team in Charlotte this weekend! The team had a big win over Queens University and played hard through some challenging weather.

Thanks to the Cadets and coaches for your hard work and spirit, and to the WAR parents and Old Grads who came out to cheer on the team.

Quote of the day from one of the team Captains as she was firing up the team in a driving rain storm: “This is our type of weather! We sleep in this stuff!”

Well done Team! You are welcome in Charlotte anytime and we look forward to hosting you again soon.

Old Grads, don’t forget our next event coming up this Thursday, 15 OCT…our monthly WPSOC Benny Havens social. This month we’ll be at Olde Mecklenburg Brewing [OMB] (the original location in South End). Stay tuned for reminders and more info. The fun starts at 5:30pm.

Great to see everyone at VBGB B**r Hall for the WPSOC Benny Havens last night!

On hand were Turner ‘71; Bolen ‘92; Jung ‘73; Linares ‘80; Cal ‘85. Not pictured is Dave Warshaw ‘89 who did a relief in place with Paul Cal after the photo was taken.

Great WPSOC get-together in Matthews on Thursday night! Thanks to the six Old Grads and spouses who came out for our monthly Benny Havens social. We hit the center of the bell curve this time; two Grads each from the 70s, 80s and 90s. All attendees were treated to the coveted 2026 Army football calendar, graciously provided again this year by Tom Turner (‘71). No refrigerator in the Charlotte Metro area is complete without one!

Note our latest “Distinguished Society Award” proudly on display. Thanks for everyone’s participation and support this year; winning the DSA is never a problem for our Society.

The next event is our monthly lunches, scheduled for Thursday, 3 SEP at our three regular locations. Hope to see a good turnout.

Beat Navy!!
