2020 Navy Photographer’s Reunion Postponed
Due to the current COVID-19 threat, the NANP Board of Directors has decided to postpone the 2020 Navy Photographer’s Reunion, previously scheduled for October 16 – 18, to the spring of 2021. The new dates for the Navy Photographer’s Reunion are April 23 – 25, 2021 and will be held in Pensacola, Florida as previously planned. The Board felt it prudent to make this move as the COVID-19 numbers are ever increasing and governments continue to restrict social gatherings. We are also very concerned about the health and well-being of our PH and MC community. Lastly, we received word that the Blue Angels have shut down their season for the year and the Homecoming Air Show is in question. We […]

Dates Set for 2020 Navy Photography Reunion
Our President, Sammy Solt, reports that the dates for the 2020 Photography Reunion in Pensacola are set. We will be having the reunion October 16-18 with a departure the morning of the 19th.

As soon as I have more information about the venue and scheduled events, I will put together the official web page listing all details and […]
Pensacola Selected for 2020 Navy Photography Reunion
Thank you to all who voted for the 2020 Reunion location. The number of responses was a lot more than expected. BZ to everyone who participated. By an overwhelming majority, Pensacola landed at the top of the list followed by Charleston and a split between Norfolk and a cruise. We do not have specific dates yet, but are looking at sometime around the middle of October. Jim Russell stepped up to the plate and volunteered to be the coordinator. He is well underway in collecting information on all venues in and around Pensacola. More information will be shared when it becomes available.
