It was a great gathering of Naval Intelligence professionals at the Aslin Brewing Company in Springfield, Virginia on Wednesday evening, 23 October. NIP coordinated with ONI to hold its monthly D.C. social and capitalize on the influx of senior leaders in town for the Senior Leader Symposium (SLS) taking place that week. Those present included Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence, Mr. Steve Parode, NAVIFOR (The “IBoss”), VADM Mike Vernazza, VADM (Ret) Bob Sharp, VADM (Ret) Jake Jacoby, and RDML (Ret) Bruce Loveless. It was a great precursor to the NIP luncheon and Dining-In that took place on Friday, 25 October.
