members of the MCCA to the Company H 226th Marine Corps Birthday Ball that
will be held on the 3rd of November, 2001 in San Antonio TX. I have recently
spoke to GySgt Rivera USMC(Ret) out of El Paso and he said that himself
and several of his buddies are planning to attend our ball as a sort of
a get together. I thought that if there were any other Marines out there
that want to come down to our ball, LET EM! The entire Company is made
of Marines in one sort of crypto-related field. If you are interested,
you can email or you can call the Company office at (210)671-1691 for more
information. Please call by 25 October. Hope to see you there! SEMPER FIDELIS
