Some pics show candidates holding up fingers ....1 ,2,3, 4 etc. Some photos you can see the number written on the right hand......We saw our son during the lunch formation, ask a midshipman behind us, if they were arranged by company and he said yes, and pointed out which groups were which...... we then got close enough to see the number on our son's hand and it matched what the midshipman said....3......so, our fairly educated guess is that he is in Third Co.
