WASHINGTON - Cdr. Robert Blanchard, branch head for Fire Control and Guidance Branch at Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) (left) in his role as Mr. Vice, orders Capt. Charles ‘Chas’ McLenithan, chief of staff (right) to partake of the ‘grog’ at SSP’s Dining Out on 1 Feb. ‘Grog’ is traditionally a mixture of fruit punch and spirits that is also provided in a non-alcoholic version at present-day Dining Outs. The event, held at the Army Navy Club in Washington, D.C., fostered camaraderie and an appreciation for Navy heritage.
2025, marks the Navy’s 250th birthday. For 250 years, the Navy’s sailors and civilians have been the key ingredient to U.S. maritime dominance, providing an unmatched advantage at sea and onshore. Navy traditions such as Dining Outs, are an important part of connecting today’s sailors and civilians with the rich history of generations that served before them and provide an opportunity to pass down that heritage to the younger generations within the ranks.
