CAMP VICTORY — A speed-dating event sponsored by the Female Service Member’s Roundtable was held Tuesday at the MWR tent.

“Many people were surprised that the Female Service Member Roundtable would sponsor this, since on the surface it seemed to encourage dating,” said Gunnery Sgt. Rebecca Landau, Roundtable President. “The idea was exactly the opposite. We knew that every single male service member knew who the six single servicewomen were. This way they can all try their luck at one time, freeing up considerable time and effort.”

The popular event attracted 1,380 single male servicemen — representing every branch of the service, civilians and local nationals — and six females.
