I know what he's saying. Generally both USCGA and USMMA are overlooked. I would assume USAFA would like in on the Army Navy action. They've fielded a good team over the years (and an even better hockey team), but of course don't have the historic rivalry.
Being in the fleet with some shipmates helps with those feelings a bit.
I smile when I look at my 1908 Tide Rips. The service, and the academy have a history, it's just not all over the airwaves. You've got a proud school and service, take pride in the fact that it's that way even if most people have no idea it exists. It's a nice surprise when they do know! Trust me.
