Wow...Zombie thread, not sure how I missed it way back when...
I remember 8th Wing players well...those were different times, before everyone got offended by everything. I was not involved (I was on the other side of the world (5-0), but attended every event. It was pretty clear the objective was to push the boundaries between what was acceptable and what was not, poking fun at USNA and the Administration. Sure, sometimes they crossed the line, but the line was ill defined-- it often depended upon who and what the target was . (Certain people had thicker skins than others --not going to comment on Warfare community trends
).
The Midshipman magazine , The Log, was very similar -- particularly the Salty Sam column). The Log has a pretty rocky history, but I think its back in a kinder and gentler way. I think you can find The Log archives on line now, but you are unlikely to have any archives of 8th Wing Players from the 70-80's; we didn't have ready access to video recorders.
For a follow on story -- Google "Owen Honors" and "Focs'le Follies"- a Carrier skipper was relieved of Command for his participation in a production very similar to 8th Wing Players about 10+ years ago (He wasn't the Skipper then, but got relieved because videos surfaced several years after the fact). A really bad example of Big Navy caving to public pressure.
