Days of Anonymity are gone

I received a call today from the spouse of the class leader of the class ahead of Paul's class.  Say that three times fast! LOL.  Okay.. at any given time there are only two class groups in session at the NTPS.  The previous "senior" class graduated in December and those folks are now off to their next assignment. Paul's class which starts Feb 5 will be the "junior" class and will go through December of this year.  The  "new" senior class kind of paves the way for all of us newbies in the junior class.

I've been enjoying the family focused time we've been having, but I guess that is about to end.  Apparently the Navy very much enjoys having the spouses involved in what's going on.  So.. I have my first "getting to know you" function tomorrow.  And already I have two dates on my calendar in February for "events" that my attendance is requested.

I have mixed feelings on this matter. On the one side, I do appreciate the opportunity to meet other spouses and the chance to get involved.  On the other, I kind of like just piddling around on my own schedule without any "responsibilities" to weigh me down. I know that I can be as involved or uninvolved as I'd like.. but I also know how easily I say "yes" to certain things. It's my way of being supportive towards Paul.
