    Glasses-Summer Seminar

    I got a nice pair of Chum's eyeglass retainers at a local boat store. There are thousands of options online. I doubt not having contacts will be a problem during your life and career. You might have regretted your lack during Plebe Summer back when they still issued the awful BCG's.

    While you wait...and wait...Collateral Duties 101

    Wow. Sure this one is amazingly fun. Just like how broccoli is yummy because it's good for you and cutting the lawn is enthralling because it builds character.

    USNA Class of 2023 Do-It-Yourself Appointment Thread

    I wonder how many mentions of the phrase "My *blank* is/I am still CPR with x noms" are on this thread? Also, @JoeAmerican0921 at least you state has something up-to date. Here in NC we're known for tobacco (and sweet potatoes. lots of those. soy too.)

    Math jokes

    Six mathematicians and six engineers are going to a conference by train. All of the engineers buy a ticket, but only one of the mathematicians buys a ticket. When the engineers ask why, the mathematicians reply, "optimization." All twelve get into one train car, and one mathematician stands at...

    Very cool

    It would be cool to have, but not currently for sale. However, I found this: https://www.amazon.com/Hornet-Helicopter-Ferngesteuert-Military-reconnaissance/dp/B01JLN7IYC.

    Is it too late for me?

    Talk to a local BGO. They'll be able to help you figure out what to do. Try to get your grades up. A 3.0 weighted GPA isn't too terrible, but you have a lot of room for improvement, so continue taking honors and AP classes, and most of all doing well in them. Seeing as your academics aren't...

    Not so positive for USNA. Current mids, can you weigh in?

    Water quality is a nation and world wide problem, not just at USNA. And I haven't examined the USNA sewer plans in depth, seeing as a Google search brought up nothing. Now I have that on my search history. Dear God, they probably think I'm a terrorist.

    Not so positive for USNA. Current mids, can you weigh in?

    Well, unfiltered rainwater means many things. It could mean, that the water hasn't been filtered in any way, like it had just fallen into the river. The thing that the article is pointing out is that the sewer and rainwater removal has no way to process water after it's flown into gutters or...

    Do Commandants/Superintendents have to be graduates?

    Not so positive for USNA. Current mids, can you weigh in?

    Read a few other articles, all much less sensational. It seems that the issues of failing infrastructure and insufficient heating, cooling, and electricity are much less minor than the above mentioned article makes things seem. What I am concerned about is the unfiltered rainwater going into the...
