Cheers to That: A Gameshow For All Of Your Navy Life Questions
11 March, 5:30pm, O'Club Bar
Whether you've been in this life for a while, or you've just discovered we're called "dependents" on our IDs [shudder], navigating the Navy, especially overseas, can be a little overwhelming. Going through the first deployment, supporting your family and command as you transition to Department Head or Major Command, or trying to integrate your own career and aspirations with all of these transitions (not to mention the all important: figuring out where to thrift in Yokosuka!)… There's always something to learn, and we're here to Cheers to That!
Please join us for a no-host happy hour as we pose our questions (Anonymously! Game show style!) to a panel of O spouse "experts," to make sure we get the most out of this Navy life. Expect real answers, lots of laughs, and appetizers on us.

Letter from the (outgoing) President
Hello, OSAY! As my time in Yokosuka comes quickly to a close (and as our OSAY year goes sprinting towards our final party in May) I want to thank you for your support, encouragement, and community this year. As a volunteer-led, non-profit organization, a spouse club is only what the spouses make of it, and OSAY is such a positive group of interesting, kind, adventurous spouses.
We have emphasized cultural events this year, allowing us to make friends and gain from our collective experience, as we check off our Japan bucket lists. I’ve loved learning how fake sushi is made (so much glue!), designing and decorating my front door with the traditional Kadomatsu decorations, and pounding the daylights out of hot rice to make mochi. We’ve had small book clubs, huge parties, learned how competitive you all are at games and trivia - and there is still so much more to come!
Although I am sad to leave Yokosuka, I am leaving you in the best hands with your new President: Bri Ichull. Not only has she been an active member of OSAY this past year, she also has experience serving as President of a spouse group. She will be working alongside our new Treasurer, Mollie Morris, a CPA who is taking over for our current Treasurer, Tasha Mangano (also transferring this month!). The Navy is full of schedule surprises, and Bri and Mollie’s willingness to step in to fill our vacant board positions is a great example of the resilience of our OSAY membership.
Please volunteer to serve on the 2025-2026 board!
With gratitude,
Treloar Price
