Calling all Plebe Parents!!

Mumsy...could you send me a PM, too? I couldn't find my kid in any of the FB photos. Anyone know if there are more pics anywhere else? I just HAVE to see him all muddy! He was the kid who wouldn't play with play-doh when he was little because it made his hands dirty! :yllol:

I sent you a PM with the link for the 3000 photos. I also found several videos from the local Baltimore TV stations (saw DS in one of the videos carrying a stretcher!) MSNBC, the local Annapolis Paper and even a UK newspaper had photos. If you go to the "United States Naval Academy" page on Facebook, you will be able to find all of these links.

Unfortunately I didn't find any photos of my son crawling through the mud, but I got several great pics of him rafting and marching with a rifle in each hand wearing his digicams, helmet and "flak jacket"! DS said that the crawling through the mud was much tougher then it looked. He said the bottom of the trench was covered with gravel. He said it was like crawling over a wet, muddy, gravel driveway. He said his pants and legs were completely beat up.

Have fun Waldo Hunting! Only 4 more days until "Plebes No More"
 
Yours truly made an appearance in the UK pics, which was interesting and a little surprising. :cool:

Mids don't get dog tags. The blood type thing is just a safety precaution (and to freak the plebes out a little) but I've never heard of someone getting badly hurt enough at Sea Trials that they needed blood.
 
Found my plebe in 7 of the pics....mainly muddy and crawling through the trench. Quote regarding sea trials: "It was 95% awesome!"

Hurricane - was that you in the yellow shirt leading the plebes over the bridge??? That is a fantastic picture - love it! :thumb:
