Restoration to 36 Companies

... just asking for reference. I have the '26 shuffle Infographic. Until a new one is published, I'll use this one.

Since my time on the staff late in the 20th century, I have watched the names and company cultures change over the years. Some changes are swift, some gradual, some names linger, some evaporate. The Bearsharks were not the Bearsharks, but something very low-key. I can’t remember what catalyzed their morphing. It’s all good. 🍿🥓🍿🥓🍿🥓

The post needed some extra flavor.
 
I’ve never seen official USNA publication of company names. Honestly, it’s none of our business, imo. And what’s an ‘Infographic’?
 
... Company names + logos/patches.

I have the Class of 2026.

How about you post that document? Or is it only available on a need to know basis?

... yes.
It was posted several months ago here in the forum. I screen copied it and printed.The exact title - - Infographic Showing the Class of 2026 Company Shuffle.

Hard to believe they finally let that go after so many years; 19th Co. was pretty proud and contentious about it when I was there. Maybe the memory has finally faded.

What was interesting to me as the years passed, what I heard from successive classes of midshipmen passing through our home as sponsor mids or “ride-alongside, about how the “Free 19” origin story began. 😉

Well that is well documented, many an Instagram post is out there. Currently 30 companies.

Each has its own moniker and culture.

Seems like we should be going back to old school company count of 36. Didn’t end my dad, his cousin, brother or father. So should be good to go. Midshipmen tend to adjust. Far better than parents or fans.
 
Dant told the Brigade this morning they will take 10ish from each company/class (30 will stay) to make the 6 new companies. They will ask for volunteers first, then be voluntold.
 
DS is dismayed. He can wrap his head around the need for more CO and SEL support for the companies as he said his LT is swamped with paperwork and tough to get time on his schedule. He also likes that there will more leadership opportunities across the Brigade.

Where he struggles is with the fact that for his future Firstie year he faces shotgunning, which has happened before, but none the less does not negate his feelings. He felt the Brigade was finally starting to understand the structure of the annual Plebe shuffle and getting ready for '25 (along with '26) to take the reigns in ~7 months. This is just "upsetting" the proverbial apple cart (again).

The operative word being “current.” Just a few years ago, 7th was the Mustangs. I have a T-shirt that says so. 😉
