Here's the lowdown on phones USNA has wifi in certain areas of the yard (academic buildings, library) and you can get your wireless devices on the USNA network. Supposedly I have heard that you can take your device to IT and they will wipe it clean and install it onto the network. Not really an...

DON'T Bring those things with you or send them to plebe summer, wait until parents weekend for things like that.

I have 3 women's rugby players who live next to me in company and I am proud to say that they are some of the toughest girls I have ever met anywhere. NWR doesn't always get the attention it deserves but will always have my respect.

http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/osama-bin-laden-killed-navy-seals-firefight/story?id=13505792 In response to this news we stormed into T-Court and started singing patriotic songs culminating in the National Anthem. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oX826UOZ2Ns We then ran to the Supe's House...

PLEBE SUMMER: Try to drop off your first care package the day before or the morning of I-Day. I highly recommend the individual packs of drink mix that can be poured into water bottles. The water in Annapolis tastes like crap in general, but the old pipes at the academy are especially bad...

I have seen a few people at the academy with the award this year. Most of the people who do get have done an exchange semester up at west point where they have a German Army officer who is able to sign you off on the quals. From what I have been able to gather, it is permissible to wear the...

Religiosity I would describe the academy as a fairly conservative institution overall but still tolerant. I'm from the Southeast (NC) so the thing that surprised me the most were the number of Catholics, it seems like they constitute about 1/3 to 1/2 the brigade. I have personally never had a...

I'm at the academy right now and I have to say that unless you validate a lot of classes you are going to hate your life because it will be rare that you have a semester throughout your time at the academy where you take under 21 credits. Physics and Math are somewhat similar but not like...

I agree, I have overheard youngsters saying, "I can't believe I was chopping just a few months ago"

Alphas 1st Reg did their alphas last month on 18OCT, 2nd Reg just did theirs last Monday 15NOV. I really think that people get too stressed out over Alpha Inspections, the best thing to do is just go down the chit and check everything in the room off. This is the same thing that the...

Your explanation make more sense. The 3 landing beaches are Tarawa were designated Red 1 through Red 3 and I was thinking it was named after that considering that almost everything here has some historical connection to the Navy and/or Marine Corps.

I'm at USNA right now and I wanted to know how long the area of red tile surrounding Bancroft Hall has been known as "Red Beach." I fairly certain it's a reference to the Marine Corps landing at Tarawa so I know the name is at least from around the late 1940's but I wanted to know if anyone can...
