Had to preserve it for posterity in case the OP is still within the editing window.
:oops2:

Nice spirit in tough times; OP has clearly drunk deep from the Koolaid. (20th c. cultural reference for those who need to research)

I just recalled I had already responded to a recent post with my “starter kit advice.” OP is a HS freshman, will graduate from HS in 4 years, so let’s grant a lot of leeway for youthful exuberance.

Nothing like yelling “fire” in a crowded theater. Probably doesn’t add helpful and substantive content to the USNA forum, but it would be equally misplaced over in the Bacon and Cocktail forums.

Since he or she provided an avatar with a human being with a possible firearm or facsimile and a screen name that looks like a name, unlike most who choose to be anonymous on an anonymous Internet forum, we can hope for more fun updates from this brave soul, apparently an aspiring long-term hopeful for Cadet-Land-on-Hudson.

Since this is turning out to be a great learning opportunity for spelling and grammar, should also point out that the first line should either have a comma between the thoughts, or a period at the end of both. For example:

GO ARMY, BEAT NAVY

GO ARMY. BEAT NAVY.

Or if greater enthusiasm is called for:

GO ARMY! BEAT NAVY!

Don’t be discouraged, @Kriegel2024. Sounds like you’ve got time to master the finer points of writing. 😂

You were kind not to mention the irregular comma spacing amongst the “duty, honor, country.”

Heartfelt enthusiasm carried the day.
 
Just for fun, I googled “famous misspellings.” Some hilarious lists came up, but many were a tad racy to directly post. If you are procrastinating on a task, add this to your list Internet surf topics.

If you can find the one that describes when “wonton” replaces “wanton,” that was a ROFLMAO one for me.

Just recently, I posted this photo I took of a sign in a military Commissary, proving beyond all doubt, humans are indeed human, especially when intentions are good. I posted it over on the COVID Meme thread, but it fits here.

Reminds me of listening to certain jocks on TV/radio. A few years ago, one was rattling off some statistics. His colleague replied: "You're a real suppository of information." He was absolutely serious -- didn't realize what he'd said.

We've also had the "abdominal snowman" and just this week, "He was pillorized."

Gotta love it.
 
Reminds me when I my younger sister used to address letters to the “Navel” Academy. I recently saw postcards of planes in the “hanger” bay being sold at the Naval Aviation Museum. I’d seen the “hanger” error long before as it almost showed up on my plaque before leaving the ship. The Captain had eagle eyes and made sure the brass inscription was changed to read “Hangar Deck Officer”. I heard the PAO caught hell, as nothing ever got past the CO. I have the original brass inscription in a drawer somewhere. Lesson learned from that Ancient Mariner: always check for misteaks.
