I hate to say this - it's something that I wouldn't ordinarily do...

GO NAVY!!! :)

Fantastic! Thanks.

Of course, I'm willing to wager $5 on said football game. I will take Army,
of course, because they will win.

You have to admit that was a well executed op by the boys from the
reform school on the Hudson.

Absolutely. Now I'm wondering what the squids will do in return.

Probably very little.

It kinda surprised me that the helicopter was allowed to fly directly over
the campus now-a-days.
I got a kick out of it though. I spent some time (about 6 months) there
instructing
midshipmen on the basics of shipboard communications systems and procedures.

I am sure the commanders at both academies knew exactly what was going on
and approved it before hand.

I spent two years teaching math at the Military Academy Prep school when it
was here at Fort Belvoir. What a joy to teach highly motivated kids!

That experience provided the desire to be a teacher when I retired from the
Army. Wow. What a difference.

If the ELF/LF radio station was still operating on the other side of the
Severn they may have been intercepted by a Redeye when they were inbound.

That's if anyone was sober.

That transmitter site was my last duty station in the Navy. Spent 2 years
there. The ELF was still operating but the rest of the stuff was slowly
being shut down, decommissioned and ripped out. I haven't been there for
many years and often wonder what became of the place.

Probably. What those Midshipmen need is a good dose of Marine Corps
retribution...er...practical jokes. :)

Imagine what Annapolis would be like if it were the US Marine Corps Academy
with a few squids allowed to attend. The damn place would be dangerous.

An Army-Marine game would be a blood bath.

Well, apparently Navy has more Marines on it's team than they used to.

27-0 with 1:50 to go in the 4th.

Poor Army. Must have been those camo helmets. :)
