    I-Day Prep Guide???

    Save the recognizable foot gear for PPW PT. " Hi Mom Hi Dad" and then the thundering herd goes by. Hard to spot but can be done and some good pictures when they are standing still or exercising :)

    Commissioning Week 2024 schedule is out ⚓️

    I definitly recommend a Lunch or Brunch at the Naval Academy Club. Great Venue and good food. Also the Naval Academy Museum. The Bone Ships are incredible along with the story behind them as they were constructed with amazing detail by British prisoners during the Napoleonic Wars.

    New Navy Regs…Will this apply at USNA?

    Then it comes down to who has the top "Wings" designation on those flight suits'. But those in the air did need those controllers on the ground with "wings" to find those orbiting Tanker Anchor flights to make that RTB. Try as they might they could never find them on their own.;)

    Things get loose sometime. Squadron cover. With one side up very rakish. Both sides down with poncho in Monsoon and everybody looked like Clint Eastwood.

    Speaking of Bug Juice. Working KP and head cook told me if you put a little red dye in one juice dispenser it would empty a lot faster. Same crap just a different color. Worked every time.

    Daughter had LOA and never had a CVW invite. BGO got her one after she requested. Coldest February they could remember. She did love it. If you did not get one ask your BGO.

    Missing helicopter with 5 Marines aboard

    Reported down near Pine Valley Ca. Weather still bad and hampering SAR. Why would they even try Miramar with that weather?

    Pearl Harbor - December 7th, 1941

    Yes A Fatal Mistake. Not so imminent They started in 1931 in Manchuria. They thought that they could accomplish another Port Arthur against a Western "power" although Russia at the time was not so powerful. There was no civilization lag, they over exstended. China was too easy and expansion...
