Seems like a lot of excuses
No excuses...just fact. The average Midshipman doesn't give a damn about prowess on the Prade field. It's something to be endured, and everyone wants to do well enough that their Company doesn't catch sh!t from the Battalion Officer for not doing well on the graded prades and marchovers. (Been there, done that -- Saturday remedial prade practice is not fun, particularly when your girlfriend flies in to town for a visit). Marchovers to games are really the most orderly way to get 4000 people from Pt A. to Pt B). The Woops take it a lot more seriously.
(Yes, we have the Marine Corps, but most of the Marine Corps types get assigned as Prade judges and don't march with the Company).
. Can't believe that is coming from a former BattO ! I thought that BattO's just lived for Prade scores.Navy folk happily leave all moving formations ashore to the Army.
This is going to come as a shock...the average cadet doesn't give a damn about prowess on the parade field either. They just do it right because A) not that hard and B) that's professionalism.
