IF, and that is a big IF, Mids are locked down for the fall semester USNA will figure things out to give them a break. Food nights, movies, televising football games (if they play), love sports (if they have them and they can be separated enough). USNA and leadership will have to figure it out. This is part of morale that senior enlisted and officers have to figure out in the fleet. A 6 month tour got extended 3 months and they haven’t seen land for 7 months... guess what, ops continue and morale can suck. The 1/C have a challenge ahead to figure out how to work with leadership and a budget to keep morale up and figure out ideas. Maybe it’s extended club hours for 1/C and 2/C on the weekend. A new movie premiere brigade wide at Alumni. Expansion of gym and pool times. All things the 1/C will have to focus on and lead. It’s a new challenge and I am sure they are up for it. Golf course is across the river too. Maybe Plebes get expanded access to Netflix and allows gaming systems on Saturday and Sunday. Plenty of options out there, just have to be creative.
As mentioned before, Mids are dang creative. The things they come up with to have fun is amazing. Some will make sense to no one, but Mids and grads and trust me, the OGs laugh at it all.
