I think last year's Army/Navy t-shirt sold at the Midstore says it all: "Always Brothers, Just Not Today" These kids may go to different academies and play for different teams, but they are all in this together. Go Navy! Beat Army! Proud Mom of a 2013 Mid

Sponsor Families The Plebes usually meet their sponsor families the Sunday before PPW. At least that's what happened last year. My son had his last phone call home that Monday and told me his sponsor family was awesome. His sponsor mom then called me on Tuesday to introduce herself to me...
