If you are going to be there for March-on, you can move about freely and get pictures even if your seats are in the upper level. Still haven;t heard if the President or VP are coming--be prepared for security if that happens. There will be all sorts of t-shirts, sweats and assorted stuff for sale. The prices will be dear!!!!

Ryan announcing with deepest regrets the unfortunate death of one of their classmates. I have had several inquiries about the appropriateness of making a similar announcement over our Net. To each of those that took the time to inquire, I have pretty much said the same thing... Please do not post any messages about this subject. As untimely and unthinkable as this Midshipman's death may be, we MUST respect the privacy of the family involved. Our network is dedicated to "helping" our fellow parents. There are times when an open discussion or even a mentioning of certain subjects (even among the most caring of individuals) can do little to help and could even add to the heartache and grief that these parents are undergoing at this time. I feel that this is one of those times. If you have questions about the Midshipman, please contact your Mid directly. They have been given all of the details relevant to what happened. Sandi and I both feel that it should not be discussed on USNA-Net. We have always felt that our most important rule is the rule of Midshipman Privacy. In the case of a serious illness, injury, or death - it is paramount that the privacy of the Midshipman and his/her family be respected. We do not want the Lists to become a News Flash Service. I know that we each feel an attachment to all of the Mids at the Academy and the death of a Midshipman is acutely felt by all of us, but this is a very personal issue and should not be made into a news story. It is simply inappropriate and will help no one. Those parents on our List who might have known this young man, or whose Midshipman might have been friends with him - will be told by their own son or daughter about the tragedy. Those who did not know, need not be informed, unless their own Mid decides that they wish to share the information. This may sound callous. It is not meant to be. This should be left to those who knew and loved him - not be made into just another posting to our Lists. I ask each of you to please try to understand and honor our Rules in this matter.

It has been suggested that it would be nice to get USNA-Net members together at the A/N game. I whole heartedly agree. Having gotten the "Skinny" from a few members that have attended previous games, it would appear that the best time to gather would be after the final gun, while the parking lot empties. Since the Firsties have to be at the stadium at 0800 for a photo session and the official march on occurs at 0930, getting together before the game doesn't seem like a good idea. If the Pres or VP decide to show up, the stadium will be virtually locked down for security purposes both before and during the game. Very little "wandering about" will be permitted, even by the Mids. Getting together in the stands between march on and kickoff will be next to impossible since I know for fact that we have parents seated from section 700 down to 250 where Sandi and I will be (Section 250, Row 8, Seats 8 & 9). Plus there will be too much happening on the field and the Jumbotron to want to miss any of that action. Our best bet (after consulting with our Mid) is to meet after the game. I suggest meeting just outside Gate "D." I am told this will be the gate that most of the Mids will be using due to their seat location and it is close enough for the rest of us that it shouldn't be a major inconvenience. A word of advise, try to park on that side of the field. So... Sandi and I will be outside Gate "D" after the final gun with our ribbons on waiting for you. See you there.

Though I speak through the mist of 200 plus years, my shout for freedom will echo through liberty's halls for many centuries to come. Hear me speak, for my words are the truth and justice, and the rights of man. For those ideals I have spilled my blood upon the world's troubled waters. Listen well, for my time is eternal-yours is but a moment. I am the spirit of heroes past and future. I am the American Sailor. I was born upon the icy shores at Plymouth, rocked upon the waves of the Atlantic, and nursed in the wilderness of Virginia. I cut my teeth on New England codfish, and I was clothed in southern cotton. I built muscle at the halyards of New Bedford whalers, and I gained my sea legs high atop mizzen of Yankee clipper ships. Yes, I am the American Sailor, one of the greatest seamen the world has ever know. The sea is my home and my words are tempered by the sound of paddle wheels on the Mississippi and the song of whales off Greenland's barren shore. My eyes have grown dim from the glare of sunrise on blue water, and my heart is full of star-strewn nights under the Southern Cross. My hands are raw from winter storms while sailing down round the Horn, and the are blistered from the heart of cannon broadside while defending our nation. I am the American Sailor, and I have seen the sunset of a thousand distance, lonely lands. I am the American Sailor. It was I stood tall beside John Paul Jones as he shouted, "I have not yet begun to fight!" I fought upon the Lake Erie with Perry, and I rode with Stephen Decatur into Tripoli harbor to burn Philadelphia. I met Guerriere aboard Constitution, and I was lashed to the mast with Admiral Farragut at Mobile Bay. I have heard the clang of Confederate shot against the sides of Monitor. It was I suffered the cold with Peary at the North Pole, and I responded when Dewy said, "You may fire when ready Gridley." at Manila Bay. It was I who transported supplies through submarine infested waters when our soldier's were called "over there." I was there as Admiral Byrd crossed the South Pole. It was I who went down with the Arizona at Pearl Harbor, who supported our troops at Inchon, and patrolled dark deadly waters of the Mekong Delta. I am the American Sailor and I wear many faces. I am a pilot soaring across God's blue canopy and I am a Seabee atop a dusty bulldozer in the South Pacific. I am a corpsman nursing the wounded in the jungle, and I am a torpedoman in the Nautilus deep beneath the North Pole. I am hard and I am strong. But it was my eyes that filled with tears when my brother went down with the Thresher, and it was my heart that rejoiced when Commander Shepherd rocketed into orbit above the earth. It was I who languished in a Viet Cong prison camp, and it was I who walked upon the moon. It was I who saved the Stark and the Samuel B. Roberts in the mine infested waters of the Persian Gulf. It was I who pulled my brothers from the smoke filled compartments of the Bonefish and wept when my shipmates died on the Iowa and White Plains. When called again, I was there, on the tip of the spear for Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. I am the American Sailor. I am woman, I am man, I am white and black, yellow red and brown. I am Jew, Muslim, Christian and Buddhist. I am Irish, Filipino, African, French, Chinese and Indian. And my standard is the outstretched hand of Liberty. Today, I serve around the world, on land, in air, on and under the sea. I serve proudly, at peace once again, but with the fervent prayer that I need not be called again. Tell your children of me. Tell them of my sacrifice, and how my spirit soars above their country. I have spread the mantle of my nation over the ocean, and I will guard her forever. I am her heritage and yours. I am the American Sailor.

In addition, SEPTA is decorating the Pattison Avenue Station at Veterans Stadium in honor of the respective football teams. "Our Broad Street Line service will score points with the football fans, cadets, and midshipmen traveling to the 100th anniversary of the Army-Navy football game because it is the best route to the annual event," said SEPTA General Manager John K. Leary Jr. "Riders will travel to the game in comfort and avoid the traffic jam expected in the stadium area. We will also have SEPTA ambassadors on-hand to provide riders with assistance, information, and a special treat of chocolate footballs." The express train service will start at 7 a.m. from the Fern Rock Transportation Center and operate about every 10 minutes until noon and the start of the football game. The express trains will also be in service after the game. Expresses stop only at Olney, Erie, Girard, Spring Garden, Race- Vine, City Hall and Walnut-Locust Stations en route to Pattison Avenue and Veterans Stadium. The express trip from City Hall takes only about eight minutes. Local trains on the regular Saturday schedule also run every 12 minutes or less throughout the day and take only 11 minutes to travel to the stadium from City Hall.

She was glad that the plebes are showing some initiative in continuing some of the less dangerous (hernia not considered dangerous) activities. So far she has dealt with plebes with injuries and stomach flu, so has not lead any covert operations. She said the level of anticipation is rising tho, and that the fun has not stopped. Of course this was during a phone call about tonights activites that had her head in the clouds. Great night for the mids, make sure you ask yours about the Wed. night planned activities.

One sat in the window seat, the other sat in the middle seat. Just before take-off, a Midshipman got on and took the aisle seat next to the two Woops. The Midshipman kicked off his shoes, wiggled his toes and was settling in when the Woop in the window seat said, "I think I'll get up and get a Coke." "No problem," said the Mid. "I'll get it for you." While he was gone, the Cadet picked up the Mid's shoe and spit in it. When the Mid returned with the coke, the other Cadet said, "That looks good, I think I'll have one, too." Again, the Mid obligingly went to fetch it and while he was gone, the Cadet picked up the other shoe and spit in it. The Midshipman returned and they all sat back and enjoyed the long flight to Philadelphia. As the plane was landing, the Mid slipped his feet into his shoes and knew immediately what had happened. "How long must this go on?" the Middie asked. "This fighting between our services? Bitter rivalry among our academies? This hatred? This animosity? This spitting in shoes and peeing in cokes?"

To: usna-net@navy-usna.org Hi All! I spent a lot of time on the Yard today, Thursday. It was a cold, bright morning in Annapolis, but the sun warmed things up as the day went on. There are lots of parents strolling around in blue and gold, obviously waiting to set out for Philadelphia tomorrow. After corresponding on this network with the mother of a plebe girl from California, we finally met tonight when she came for dinner. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, Mike and Sandi, for making such friendships possible! We ate early, in order to be able to attend the bonfire and pep rally at 1930. The fire pyre was not such a huge one as the disaster pyre several weeks ago at another school: only hay bales and wooden pallets on ours. A scaffold stuck out at the top, with a noose. On the ground was a replica of an Army mule. He was later hoisted to swing from the petard. There was loud music playing, across Farragut Field, from the stage area. The evening's events started there. The men's rugby team did a hysterically funny musical number dressed in black sports bras and mini skirts, with bikini bathing suit bottoms underneath! We were then treated to rallying words from the "Supe" and the Coach, plus the team's co-captains. (The Superintendant promised everyone in the Brigade a weekend if Navy wins!) The Coach and captains told us how much they need the spectators in the stands to help them out by cheering to drown out the calls of the opposing QB in tough spots. The cheerleaders danced (on the ground) and were thrown into the air and led us in cheers, accompanied by the D & B's. We adjourned to circle the pile and watch the Supe and the co-captains light torches and throw them on the pile. Judy took videos and I shot a roll and a half of film. It WAS impressive!! The mule got a cheer when he went up in flames. We had to move back several times to avoid being singed by the heat. It was nice and warm for awhile, as you can imagine! JUST as the fire was burning down to uninteresting, the fireworks started! Shot after shot into the night sky. Twisters and spirals going up, rather than just straight rockets. LOTS of color. The MOST spectacular, however, was the BEAT ARMY sign (near the ground) in lights that sparkled, with HUNDREDS of white crackers going off behind it, in a screen effect. While the last smoke was still fading off into space, the firemen spread out a long black plastic sheet and started spraying it with water. Ask your mids to tell you about Carrier Landings in the halls on deck. This was Outside Carrier Landings. As more and more mids got enthused, the layers of clothing started coming off. Three or more of them at a time would run from the far end, literally DIVE onto the black sheet, and slide on their bellies as far as possible. The women couldn't go very far -- T shirts create friction. The men started with blue and gold gym suits, but ended up stripping to their jockey shorts and sliding ALL THE WAY to the end. I estimated about 50 feet. They were deliriously happy! Wrestling like bear cubs (Oops! did I offend someone with that analogy? Sorry, but that's exactly what they looked like.) Afterwards, the King Hall staff had roast beef sandwiches and hot chocolate and warm cider and piles of cookies available under a tent on the field. In one of the courtyards close to Dahlgren, there was a Battle of the Bands going on. It got too cold to stay much longer, so we returned home. Apparently, all Mids had to sign a pledge that they would NOT do this and that (i. e. PRANKS) during Army Week. The Plebes, however, have been "decorating" the rooms of the Company Commanders with variations on wire hangers and wadded-up newspapers, etc. Lunches have been "crazy," according to one of my Sponsor Sons. Tomorrow is G-Day minus One, and should be equally unruly. WHAT GREAT FUN OUR KIDS ARE HAVING THIS WEEK!!! Even the plebes are able to relax a bit and enjoy. HOPE you are ALL able to see the game on Saturday, whether from home or in person. The Annapolis Capital is giving Navy a 7-0 advantage. Glad to be back online.........

I thought it should be shared. GO NAVY/BEAT ARMY Nancy Aubel Erik 00/12 Dayton, Ohio From the (02 Dec 99) Philadelphia Inquirer. Somebody up there cares!! Beat Army!!!!!!!! Some places, some moments endure. Moreover, they melt away the cynicism of a cynical age. These are some of them: There's a stand of pine trees down at Amen Corner at Augusta National, and when shafts of the early April sun slant through and cast shadows of gold, your breath catches in your throat and you think to yourself: This must be what the first dawn was like in Eden. . . . When the painted faces start streaming in . . . when the pep bands begin their brassy overtures and your feet set to tapping on their own . . . when the cheerleaders are being catapulted up to the rafters . . . when the first players come out for a casual shoot-around and have trouble swallowing . . . the Final Four crackles with an expectancy that raises the hairs on your arms. . . . Robed and oiled, reeking of primordial malevolence, fists wrapped and gloved, the heavyweights come snorting down the aisle, trailing entourages of barking sycophants, and you can feel the hackles rise on the back of your neck. You can smell the blood lust. Ringside . . . fight night . . .black moon rising. . . . They will march into Veterans Stadium in great columns and perfect moving squares, thousands as one, in measured, unconquerable lockstep. Through most of the afternoon, their football teams will do glorious, pitched battle, and when it is over, when the December gloaming enfolds them in chill and dark, when the cannons have fallen silent, they will stand at attention and salute one another and themselves, and it is not possible, whether you are hawk or dove, proud super-patriot or dubious peacenik, to look upon such a scene without feeling something welling up from deep inside you, from some place you had forgotten. . . . Army-Navy. Tingle-moments have been scarce of late in Philadelphia. But one beckons the day after tomorrow. Army-Navy. That contract is running out. We ought to do everything possible to not let it.Army-Navy is not about bowls or polls. Not about agents and payments under the table and coming out early. Hah! Coming out early? You commit to Annapolis, to West Point, you commit for the full four years, and then for five more after that. With the knowledge, the understanding, and the acceptance that it could be a commitment for life in every sense of the word. You commit to West Point, to Annapolis, you will not miss a class. And the class will not be Basics of Golf. You will arise, every day, at an hour that would make even John Chaney (Note: Temple's basketball coach, for the non-initiated) nod in approval. You will be cut absolutely no slack if you elect to play football. All that will earn you is an even earlier wake-up call, and a pre-dawn date with Satan, which is what they call the strength and conditioning officer. Army-Navy is a time warp. Army-Navy is about The Last Boy Scout. Army-Navy is about A Few Good Men. Army-Navy is about dedication and discipline, and it has about it elements that are hopelessly old-fashioned and incorrigibly hokey and so, so outdated. It is all those things, and it is one thing more: unforgettably wonderful. Army doesn't recruit outlaw athletes. Navy doesn't lower its standards when it recruits. In fact, Army and Navy don't recruit. They don't have to. There are always warrior-patriots who yearn to be part of the Long Gray Line, who see dress blues and white hats as a wardrobe of honor. And, yes, the cycles change with the times and the years, and lately it has been OK to root for the military again. The first time Army-Navy registered with you was when you heard what sounded like a vaudeville pairing: Mr. Outside and Mr. Inside. Davis and Blanchard. Half a century ago, when Glen Davis wasn't turning the corner, then Doc Blanchard was thundering between the tackles, and your grandfather was singing lustily: "On Brave Old Army Team!" And your father and your uncle, each fresh from naval service in World War II, were muttering something about just wait, just wait, the Navy will be dropping an anchor on the dogfaces' heads. And then came Roger the Dodger. Roger Staubach, Navy quarterback, was a scrambler before anyone had heard the term. He ran from one side of your black-and-white TV set to the other and then disappeared out the back of it and ran up onto your roof, and then down into the driveway, while about 13 platoons of Army tacklers chased after him. And then it got to be the 1970s, and you made your way to the old wooden press box atop a dinosaur of a stadium in South Philadelphia. The First Union Center now sits on the bones of JFK. The last part of the climb to the press box was up a spiral staircase made of cold metal and coated with a thick layer of pigeon guano. At your seat, something conked you on the back of your head. It was a pipe, cold as an icicle. "That's one of the heating pipes," the man next to you said, laughing. Igloos are warmer. But you never noticed. You watched the Corps of Cadets stand the whole time, and the Brigades of Midshipmen matching them loyalty for loyalty, solidarity for solidarity, and the cannons booming with each score, and then it was over, and in the gloaming they stood and saluted. They had played the game for the best reason of all, and it had nothing to do with money or fame. Something caught in your throat, something made your eyes water. And the man next to you said, softly: "Blame it on the cold." BEAT ARMY *** USNA-NET post by: AUBEL Erik 00-12 AUBEL Nancy and Dave Have you subscribed to USNA-Sports yet?

To: usna-net@navy-usna.org Hi All, If you were part of a group of Firsties with limited financial resources, how would you maximize your fun at the Army/Navy game and minimize the cost of that fun?????? You might rent a large U-Haul truck, paint it blue and gold with water soluable paint, put your company mascot on the top and then fill the truck up with sofas from the ward room, beds from your rooms, boxes and boxes of food and drink, metal containers for building a fire, firewood, blankets, boom box, CDs and anything else to bring the comforts of home to your new home for the party filled night. Where would you park on Friday night ? The Veterans stadium parking lot of course where you would build a fire to keep you warm and cook your food while you waited to get dressed for the march on. Now that would be a real tailgate in my opinion. Would anyone actually do this? Who knows! Look around the lot tomorrow and see if there are any ingenious Mids out there who know how to be this creative!

March on is 9:30 AM and the game is 12:00. The gates to the stadium usually open at 8:30 AM. If this is your first Army/Navy game, you are in for a treat. During march on your heart will be filled with pride and your eyes filled with tears......so bring tissues with you. Also be advised that you cannot bring bottles or cans into the stadium and yes they do check at the gates and ushers will check in the stadium. You can bring in a thermos of coffee or hot chocolate to help ward off the early morning chill. I would also suggest bring sandwiches with you - the cost of food at the concession stands is pricey.

My wife and I just recently became members on the list, (thanks to Mike and Sandi and members of the Delaware Parents Club)Our daughter is in '03 27 and just like all the rest of you on the list We love the Mids, the Academy and the wonderful parents and friends we have made this past year at the Academy. It's an unbelievable family!! We would like to contribute to the website. Unfortunately I am not as eloquent as Joyce and many of you are, but I am a professional photographer and would like to contribute photos. Throughout the year I have been taken photographs of the Mids. I had an assignment to photograph and write a story about the three women from Delaware as they went through their Plebe summer begining with " I -Day." I was inside the Alumni Hall from 6:30 am until the Plebes marched on to " T Court." Following the Plebes as they meandered through a maze in Alumni Hall. I also had the pleasure of photographing the Plebes as they went through Plebe summer, ie Obstacle course, Damage control, rifle range etc. I would like to share some of those photographs with my new friends on this wonderful website.. Of course it is up to Mike and Sandi as to how many and the type of photographs that can be put on the net. For the last four years, My partner,( ie my wife who is also a photographer), have photographed all the Navy home football games, including every Army-Navy game from the sidelines for the past four years. We always get the Mids and Officers doing their antics as they cheer the team on. We will be on the sidelines tomorrow for this historical game ( I have 60 rolls of film...I guess that will be enough!!..:-) We will make sure we get plenty of photos of all the Mids and the activities for Mike and Sandi to choose from. We will have to shoot the game too ( the main reason why we're there........ smiles.) I also was at the Pep Rally and and the beginning of the running of the football. One photo I would like to share is the one I did inside King Hall.I had all the runners from the 13th company in a group pose inside King Hall before the run. Plus photos of the Admiral as he and the other members began their run carrying the football.Then I was taken over to the tracking station where they were tracking the runners and football...... If space permits, we would love to share as many photos as we can. Please don't flood Mike with requests for a specific Mid.....I will be sending him general photos of an event or special occasion...........culminating with Herndon!! My wife and I thoroughly enjoy reading all the e-mails. I can't think of a better blessing than to be a part of such a fine group of parents and friends who share such a treasured common bond.

I had to go down to the Yard today to deliver CARE packages to some "restricted" mids, and thought you might like to know what Tecumseh and Bill the Goat are up to!! Bill first, as he's just inside the gate. SOMEHOW, his ram's horns and his tail are bright green! WEIRD bright green at that! MOST noticeable the second you cruise past the corner. On to Tecumseh. He is silver and black, MOST impressive from a distance and even more so when you approach. As a matter of fact, when you get close, you notice that half of his face is bright ORANGE! The 'Army vs. Navy 100th' seal that is seen on T-shirts, etc is painted on the pedestal. Of course, I forgot my camera! The front page of the Capital today proclaimed "Pranks precede annual rivalry," and I thought you might like to hear what THIS YEAR's mids have done: On Tuesday, the Naval Academy Flying Club flew to West Point and dropped hundreds of little foam cutouts of a ship that said, "Go Navy, Sink Army!" over the cadets' noon meal formation. In addition, the Capital states, "The Naval Academy attracts the best and the brightest students, and as 100 years of hijinks show, they're also the most ingenious when it comes to pulling pranks....... One prank that will go down in history was the one and only successful capture of Army's four mules in 1991, according to Tom Bates, the NCAA compliance coordinator for the Academy. In an elaborate stunt that took nearly a year to plan, 17 midshipment, two advisers and a local mule handler were needed to pull it off. Midshipmen disguised in Army fatigues led a commando-style raid and kidnapped four 1,000 pound mules. Dubbed "Operation Missing Mascot," the mids were able to transport the mules all the way back to the academy in time for the pep rally, but were stopped at the gate by Pentagon security agents. Meanwhile, Army has gotten Navy's goat many times. A few years ago cadets swiped Billy from the Naval Academy Dairy Farm in Gambrills. "They cut the fence to get in while a few feet away the gate was open, so we knew right away it was Army because they didn't even look at the gate," said Mr. Bates. This year, Billy the XXVIII is "in seclusion" he said. "Sometimes, it gets out of hand and officials clamp down on it, but mostly, it's just clean fun," said one former Captain, who lives in Annapolis and has kept an eye on the hijinks that still go on. Like in 1970, when Navy smoke-bombed Army when they marched on the field in Philadelphia. In 1977, the Class of 1976 "performed" "Army Wars," a spoof of Star Wars, with Rear Adm. James A. Winnefield, commandant of midshipmen, as star attraction. In 1982, Cadet Patrick Wray was at the Naval Academy as part of the exchange program between the two service academies. On the Thursday before the game, six people crept into his room while he was sleeping, wrestled him to the floor, hog-tied him, wrapped him in a blanket and put him on an elevator. Another cadet was covered in peanut butter and jelly, shaving cream and chocolate chips. Their counterparts - midshipmen at West Point - were covered with shaving cream and doused with cold water while eating. Visiting cadets are forced to eat "Beat Army meals" which include all the condiments - ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, chocolate suace on salad and bread. But the exchange students don't give up without a fight. They are responsible for the "Beat Navy" messages that mysteriously appear on Tecumseh Court. One year, midshipmen rang the doorbell of an exchange Army officer and destroyed his car with a sledgehammer while he watched. When they were done, they gave him money the Brigade collected for a new car." It goes on to say that 3,000 people watched the Powderpuff (OOOPS! Officially it's Powder KEG) women's football game the other night. Navy beat Army 20-14. The women's swim team beat Army 152-148 also. GO NAVY!!! SINK ARMY!!! If statistics have anything to do with it, you might be interested to know that the series has Army as winner 48-44-7. BUT, Army won seven of the close games in the 1990's by a total of 24 points. Navy's two wins in the 90's have been by a total of 53 points. In the first 99 games, Navy has scored 172 touchdowns to Army's 169. Navy has scored 1,329 points to Army's 1,240. Hope this will put all of you in the mood for the BIG game. 12 noon on CBS.

The "orange" is supposed to be a flesh tone as he is painted to represent the half human appearing, half robot of the "Terminator" - a most appropriate chose for the Army/Navy weekend. Banners were flying from the most incredible heights - the top of Bancroft Hall , the top rungs of construction scaffolding.- all proclaiming the same Beat Army sentiment. The little submarine displayed on lawn behind Lejune Hall had been thoroughly painted stem to stern with many different thoughts on the rivalry. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see it until after some "Kay-det" had edited and reworded the sayings to read beat Navy. I don't know if the prankster was an exchange student or a visiting team athlete as the Army swim team was there for a Friday night meet. (They lost by a large margin to Navy). Most every Mid I passed was sporting a "Beat Army" button somewhere on their uniform. Let's hope all this pre-game enthusiasm pays off with a BIG WIN in Philadelphia is just two short hours.

Thought you might enjoy some of these. It's gotta be in the air there. Beat Army! Q: Why do West Point graduates hang their diplomas from the rear view mirror? A: To justify their handicap parking. Q: Do you know why the Army football team should change its name to the "Opposums"? A: Because they play dead at home and get killed on the road. Q: Why doesn't Army have ice on the sidelines during games? A: The guy with the recipe graduated. Q. What do you get when you drive slowly by the Military Academy campus? A. A degree. Q: What do a Navy Midshipman and a West Point Cadet have in common? A: They both got accepted to West Point. Q: What do you get when you breed a groundhog and a West Point Cadet? A: Six more weeks of bad football. Navy is playing Army, which has a first down with three minutes left in the half. An Army fan sets off a firecracker, and Navy, thinking it's the ed of the half, runs off the field. Three plays later, Army punts. Bob Sutton gave his Army football team a few days off. Several decided to go down to Panama City Beach for fun and relaxation. Coach Sutton saw the players the first day back at practice and asked about their vacation. "Not good coach," said the players. "We never made it to the beach." "Why not," the coach asked, "car trouble?" "No," they replied, "every few miles down the interstate we saw signs that said, 'Exit, Clean Restrooms'. You have no idea how many restrooms we cleaned between West Point and Panama City." The Annapolis grad walked into the bar, sat down and said, "Hey barkeep, you hear the joke about the four West Point players in a farmhouse?" Chairs scraped behind him, and four of the biggest, meanest guys in the bar stood up. "We played for Army. You sure you wanna tell that joke?" The Navy grad smirked in disbelief and said, "What, and have to explain it four times?" Q: How many West Point plebes does it take to change a light bulb? A: None, it's a second year course. Q: Did you hear that Army just bought twenty new septic tanks? A: Yeah, and Army coach Bob Sutton says as soon as they learn to drive them, they're gonna invade Annapolis. Q: How many Air Force Cadets does it take to change a flat tire? A: Three, two to go for beer and one to call daddy. Q: How many Navy Midshipmen does it take to change a flat tire? A: Five, one to change the tire and four to lament how wonderful the old tire was. Q: How many Army Cadets does it take to change a tire? A: Just one, but he gets four hours credit and it counts as a lab science! Q: What's the difference between a West Pointer and a catfish? A: One's a slimy, smelly, scum-sucking bottom feeder, and the other is just a fish. Q: What are the best four years of a West Pointer's life? A: Third grade An Army football player was almost killed in a tragic horseback riding accident. He fell from the horse and was nearly trampled to death. Thank God the manager of the K-Mart came out and unplugged it. Q: How come the Army football team doesn't have a website? A: They can't string three "W's" together. Q: How many Army Cadets does it take to screw in a lightbulb? A: Only one - but he just holds onto the bulb and expects the world to revolve around him. GO NAVY!!!BEAT army!!!

It was held at a sports bar in Westport, so many tv screens for viewing the game. The spirits were high in all. Attendees included Alumni of all ages, parents of present and alumni, children. A great buffet filled our tummies. And the game filled our hearts. We did notice right away the CW stickers, and those of us in touch with the Yard, knew what that was about. Both sides were touched by this gesture. The cheering and jeering came from both sides. I did enjoy the alumni with painted faces (and these were not the recent grads!). Of course we held our breath until the outcome was final (too many disappointments before). And then the place let loose. Then the alumni sang for us. The Army alumni were subdued as they sang, but you can bet the Navy alum sang out with strong, solid voices. (The advantage to mostly male establishments is the wonderful male voices we heard!) Then we heard the young people on TV singing and the place fell silent. Everyone left, with promises of NEXT Year> We may not have been in the Philadelphia crowd, but the support for both teams was strong, and just as energized.

We had 116 people, 80% of which were Navy in attendance. Some of us drove for 2-3 hours to get to the party, but it was worth it. Leslie Standen (our party organizer) and volunteers decorated the bar with great posters. We had our own "pom poms". Our "ships bell" was rung for each scoring point. We had a great time! Every time Navy scored our "Plebe Dads" (and a few other energetic Dads) did pushups! We all did so much hollering, we have sore throats. Mike and Sandi: I wanted to let you know that several people brought the "cards" you made up for us (and we printed out) from your webpage. We were handing them out all over the sports bar, most everyone there is already on the list! People said what a "Godsend" it is for us! Thanks for making it possible. Now that our Mid is a senior we don't hear much about what goes on "back there". Without this listserver many us of wouldn't know about all the great things going on. Thanks to both Joyce Burns and Joyce Hoffer for their writing, too. A new member in our club, a plebe Dad told me the "Joyces" make him feel like he is there! Me, too, with goose bumps!

It was the cold, which has previously served as a ready excuse for all the teary eyes! I am joking, of course. None of us need an excuse for our feelings of pride and patriotism, which well up every so often at these games. Watching the Mids enjoy their victory was as satisfying as the game itself. I wonder if those of you who watched on TV were able to enjoy the homemade Videos, produced by the Mids and Cadets. My favorite of the day was a take-off on a popular TV commercial. It began by showing a book, football for dummies, and saying "Army play book - $6.00," then, "paying off the Army QB - 43 cents," there were a few parts to it which I can't remember, but it ended with "Obliterating Army - Priceless." Another was a little boy, about 4 or 5, dressed in an Army shirt, holding a stuffed mule, trying to thumb a ride from a little girl in her toy car. She passed him right by, so he changed into a Navy shirt and threw down the mule. Now the little girl stops and picks him up, and they smile and drive away, running over the mule. There were many more, and each was great! The amount of work that must go into the making of these spirited pieces has to be enormous. The mids who make them must first submit a proposal and get permission. Can you imagine adding this to their already overloaded schedules? I hope these pieces get some extra life and use elsewhere! One more thing, an apology to anyone who my husband annoyed today. He insisted on taking the Billy flag off the house and waving it whenever he felt the urge! He did stay in the aisle, and now that I think of it, he probably only annoyed the Army fans nearby anyway! Hope you all enjoyed the day as much as we did.

It was far too early to be up on a Saturday but thoughts of Army-Navy swept the fog away. We moved wordlessly around the house, preparing for the trip down the turnpike where we would meet "friend and foe" for the annual Army Navy Game Party. After a quick stop for gas, not-so-good coffee and Hostess powdered donuts, we were off. The two hours from Tulsa to Oklahoma City were rain drenched and I couldn't help but think, "Maybe it would have been wiser to watch the game from the couch at home". We pulled in to the Varsity Grill just after 10:00 CST. The place was coming to life with a somewhat weary looking staff who seemed to be thinking "Who are these people?" After greeting a handful of Navy and Army parents, we staked our claim to a good spot in front of the giant TV screen. More not-so-good coffee and the traditional concerns about whether the satellite equipment would work. Some preliminary planning was made as to a co urse of action if the technical equipment proved to be unworthy of the task. Snow on the screen was not reassuring. A bemused manager seemed oddly confindent that everything would go according to plan and that we would not need to vacate the premises of his establishment to find a working tv. More friends, Navy and Army, continued to gather and a sizeable crowd of Academy partisans filled a large portion of the restaurant. TV's all over the place sprang to life with the pictures from Philadelphia. The Dads were finally able to holster their pepcid and prilosec. As scenes from the March On were replayed, I thought back to December 7, 1991. A lifelong dream had come true for me that day as I sat on the very top row of Veteran's Stadium. I was finally in Philly to see the Army-Navy game. Even the agrophobia-induced death grip on the steel girder next to my seat did not quench the excitement. With me that day was a 15 year old. Little did I know that as he watched the Brigade that day, he purposed in his heart to one day stand among the ranks of midshipmen. These thoughts cascaded through my mind as I knew he was proudly standing at the front of his company on this day. I wanted so badly to be there. As the pregame continued, the occasional tear would find its way down the cheek of a parent. One here. One there. And the staff wondered, "Who are these people?" Just as the game started a sort of quiet came over our crowd. Not a hush exactly, just a quiet. Everyone's attention was drawn toward the entrance where an elderly, yet stately gentleman was making his way across the room. There was a faint murmur as the word passed among those in attendance. It was Admiral John Kirkpatrick, USNA Class of 1931, escorted by a somewhat younger West Point alum. The Admiral moved slowly, a twinkle in his eye. He was in command, and we all knew it. As fathers rushed to shake his ninety-something hand, he took his place among Navy Moms young enough to be his granddaughters. Watching Army Navy one more time. Navy wins. Icing on the cake. Life has its compensations. I was glad I made the trip. GO NAVY! Brad Powers Tulsa *** USNA-NET post by: POWERS Joshua Dustin 00-2 POWERS Brad Have you subscribed to USNA-Sports yet?

To: usna-net@navy-usna.org Hi all you parents!!!! Wow...the feeling you all must be feeling, even I was overcome with pride when I saw (on TV) the Brigade march on the field. As I once mentioned...I'm not a parent. I'm a friend of a midshipman, and hopefully i'll be a mid too in a couple years. So obviously this week was quite different from any of the other stories I've heard. All this week I've definately been in the Navy Spirit. I made some puffy paint T-shirts saying such things as "Beat Army" "Go Navy" "Sink the Cadets", etc. Everyone at school thought I was obsessed and Weird...but I just explained to them it was Army week, and a few other people who had Navy clothes ended up wearing them by the end of the week! It was so awesome, I don't know why, but it was like a connection to something great....The Naval Academy. Everyone should be so proud to have their sons and daughters there. I can't even begin to imagine that pride. Finally Saturday came, after being called psychodic by a teacher, getting the Army recruiter for our school, and even the Air Force Liason officer to cheer for Navy...it was finally here! Waking up by 11 was not my most favoite thing to due on a Saturday morning after not getting to bed before 1 all week while I waited for paint to dry to make the other sides of the shirts. However I just thought of the mids who were boarding the bus at 5:15 (4:15) my time and I popped right out of bed. My family had a christmas party to attend today and wouldn't you know it, it was right during the game!!! Well, my parents knew how much this game meant to me and brought along our handheld TV to the party. The reception was terriable, but I got through it...I got to watch the game! Everyone at the party was very excited when Navy won as well!!!!! I was however diappointed that I couldn't REALLY see the game that well and wished I would've taped it. When I got home from the party one of my friends called me up who is very sick of anything to do with Navy since that's all he hears, and told me he taped the game and wanted me to come over and watch it with him! It was awesome!!! So, being stuck here in Wisconsin wasn't too bad. I would've given anything to catch a glimpse of Techumpseah or feel the energy at the game, but I'll never trade these memories Navy gave me today. Your sons and daughters are some of the finest young people in this nation! Thank you so much for all the stories, I love reading them!!! Go Navy, way to Beat Army!!!!!!

Sure it was partly because excitement brought the crowd to its feet. In their cases, however it was due to lack of sealing allotted to the Brigade.

Thought you might like to know about the article that appeared in the Capital on Friday: Academy Names New Commandant. His name is Captain Sam Locklear, and he will replace Admiral Roughhead as Commandant of Midshipmen. "The commandant is the equivalent of a dean of students at a civilian college and holds a wide array of responsibilities." The Captain is a 1977 graduate of the academy, and was Brigade Commander while here. He later returned to Annapolis as a company officer. (Admiral Roughhead is moving on to serve as commander of Cruiser Destroyer Group TWO based in Norfolk, VA. Capt. Locklear comes to the academy from his most recent post as the executive asst. to the vice chief of Naval Operations in Washington, DC. He enlisted in the Navy in 1972, and was selected to attend the Naval Academy Prep School. He then attended the academy, graduating with a degree in operations analysis. In the past two decades, Capt. Locklear has had several assignments and graduated with Top Gun honors from the Surface Warfare Dept. Head School. He has commanded the destroyer USS Leftwich and Destroyer Squadron TWO, assigned to the USS Eisenhower Battle Group. He has also served as chief of the Regional Engagement and Presence Joint Warfare Capabilities Assessment Branch in the Strategic Plant and Policy Directorate of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the Pentagon. Admiral Ryan said, "He is an accomplished leader with superb fleet experience and will be a great rold model for midshipmen." I can tell you that the mids I have spoken with were looking forward to whoever the new appointee might be, and were HOPING that he would be an academy graduate AND a Captain. Actually, I met Capt. Locklear by chance the night of the bonfire for a quick moment, when he stopped to thank a civilian staff member who had done something for him. Nice gesture!! He is exceedingly tall, is the opinion of this short, short "reporter." His wife and two daughters will join him on the Yard. Thought you might like to know who is to be the next-to-top (effective Dec. 20) in the chain of command.

I counted my blessings many times on Saturday. The morning started our fairly well. I was up before 530 and began packing everything to go with us. The cameras, the jackets, the food, the blanket, the sheet banner for the Mids to hang, the tickets. Everything was OK and accounted for, so by 645 we left the house and headed north towards Philadelphia. We are only a mile or so away from Rt. 896 and as soon as we were on this road we noticed a lot of police presence. We guessed that the Academy contingent was on its way north and that the State Police were at most intersections to hold traffic for all zillion busses to pass. I kind of got nervous, because we still had to stop for gas and camera film (apparently the 200 speed I had picked up was not what the camera man had ordered) I had planned the trip to be ahead of the busses, so as not to be stuck behind them in traffic. We ended up in front of them, but only because we followed a whole line of traffic through an intersection that had already been set up for the busses to pass through. We were however going across the traffic pattern. We made it to I95 and zipped up toward the stadium. All was going as planned. Driving into the parking area I started to pull our the tickets. Where were they?! I tore my car apart and started to despair. They were not there. I called my neighbor on the cell phone and had him get into our house and sure enough they were sitting in the envelope on my desk. I couldn't believe it. Somehow I had managed to pack and then unpack them at home. What to do. OK we were only about 1 hour and 20 minutes from home. Could we go back and get here in time? We could if we didn't mind missing the march-on, but that was not to happen. I called my sister, but her phone was busy. Could I find someone sweet enough to drive them to us, Probably. Instead, I sent my very calm, and understanding husband on a ticket search. As I loyally read the list mail, I knew that there were still some tickets out there to be had. If only we could be so fortunate to hook up with someone who had a couple left. Within 10 minutes and only going about the span of 4 cars, my husband came back with 2 tickets. Not only that, but they were in a great section. The 300 level. I can never thank Paul from North Jersey enough. What a lifesaver! We got into our seats, made another call home to the neighbor to let him know the tickets were his if he wanted and if not that he could gibe them to anyone who wanted them. It was only 820, so there was plenty of time for them to get there for the game. (Ended up nobody in my neighborhood wanted to make the trip up. Can you believe that!) We loved the entire game. Ended up sitting in both our original seats and our newly acquired seats. Original ones were right on the field with the Mids. You can't see the game, unless you turn and look at the big screen, but the atmosphere was electric. After our Mid found us at half-time we made our way to our other seats and actually watched the plays take place on the field. What a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. I tried to hide my tears when the final seconds ticked off the clock, but there were not many dry eyes around me, so I got everything on my video camera to capture the history taking place. During the march on I had walked around to get a better video spot and some guy reached over and said hi with a hug and a kiss. None other than our friend Mike Zets. Those ribbons really work. Didn't see too many others, but I had a few list members approach me since I was wearing mine. Next time, I think I will start bringing extra to outfit anyone who forgot theirs. I met Peg Sheradin? in the stands and we had a great conversation. What a pleasure to meet one more Mom. Finally, we found our Mid and headed back home for a nap and a few visits to family that he missed at Thanksgiving. By 2245, we were back on the road t Philadelphia and he was on his bus by midnight. He was so tired, as were most I saw, and welcomed the chance to sit and nap. He reminded us that he is home in only a few more days and I just couldn't believe that so many days had gone by between I-Day and Thanksgiving and now I would have him home in just a few short days. Well, I am still very thankful for everyone who helps on and off the list and know that this family is just the best.

THANK YOU, Dindy for sending this to us. It moved me beyond words...I could not finish reading it to Mike! Please send your responses to Dindy at: LIEBERTCO@aol.com =========ORIGINAL MESSAGE====================== this is from today's Phila. Inqur. ...a column by Bill Lyon... I think he definitely got it.... "The 1900's may be about to disappear, but Army-Navy endures. And this is how you know. The game itself need not even be very good, because everything surrounding it is so emotionally luminous. Good, bad or somewhere in between, the game touches people all over the world, from men in all the ships at sea to the lowliest grunts in the most desolate trenches, those who have served, those who are serving, and those who will serve. Navy will be forever able to boast that it won the final game of the 1900's, 19-9, and did so, ironically enough, with two weapons that are always identified with the Army. Those would be infantry and artillery. The infantry took the form of Navy quarterback Brian Madden, a relentless and tireless and sturdy sophomore whom the Midshipmen rode like - you should pardon the expression - a rented mule. The artillery was represented by the howitzer legs of Tim Shubzda, the Navy kicker, who tried four field goals and made them all, and the Navy punter, Tray Calisch, whose cross-country missiles kept Army pinned way back and forced it to take the long way home all day. Forty-one time, Navy snapped the ball and entrusted it to Madden's keeping. Madden gouged out 177 yards, which was an imposing bit of earth-moving. Asked if 41 carries might not make a person the least be weary, Madden replied that he was fresh as dawn, and expressed astonishment, politely, that you would have to ask why. As others had patiently explained a thousand time before: "Sir, because it is the Army game, sir." But of course. Madded is only a sophomore. He will get to do this two more times. Such a prospect rightly strikes him as an honor. He is from Oklahoma, and he is strapping and strong, and he is an intriguing combination of muscle and touch. As a high school wrestler, he was 32-0 in his senior year, and he carries only a 3 handicap on the golf course. He took the final snap of the game yesterday, then took a knee. Navy was close to the Army end zone, but even in a rivalry as passionate as the, you do not machine-gun the lifeboats. Besides, they will do it again next year. At high noon, Cadet Deborah Brown of West Point, Company G-2, in a vibrant and crystalline voice, sang the national anthem before a crowd that stood at respectful attention. Right hand either were over hearts or engaged in taut salute. No twitching. No scratching. No conversation. No beered-up yahoos spewing profanities. And then the parachute teams dropped from the sky, jumpers from both academies, the Leap Frogs of Navy followed by the Golden Knights of Army, hovering, accelerating, riding the wind currents, sticking their landings on the newly shampooed green concrete at Veterans Stadium. From the moment they marched into the stadium - ever a sight to stir the soul - the Corps, and the Brigade taunted and teased each other. You watch it - the clever and the sophomoric - and you suspend belief for an afternoon. For example, where else - well, other than in a tavern - can you see a mule riding a tank and it's OK? Even the coin toss was unique. When was the last time four Heisman Trophy winners assembled at midfield? The names of these four echo with glory even now - Glenn Davie and Pete Dawkins of Army, Roger Staubach and Joe Bellino of Navy. Staubach had spoken at a banquet the previous night. He had brought down the house, as he usually does. He had talked about how, in all those years with the Dallas Cowboys, every time he was introduced as being from Navy, it never failed to put a catch in his throat. But his first words, typically, were not about himself. They were about another quarterback, an Army quarterback. For all the games he won and the fame he accumulated, Staubach noted, Rollie Stichweh beat Navy for Army in Staubach's senior year. That is another part of the allure of Army-Navy - the regard that such mortal rivals hold for each other. It is an emotion that is transcendent. Maybe the best explanation of Army-Navy can be found in two men - Damon Myers and David Christman. They are a generation apart and separated by the chasm that divides Army and Navy. Yet they will walk together forever. In 1997, Myers was a junior at the Naval Academy and a football player. But on the day of the Army game, he was in a hospital bed, tubes running in and out of him, hooked up to IV drugs and all the plumbing that can be thrown at cancer. Navy, to Myers' utter delight, won. Big. And then all of the Army players signed a game ball and sent it to him. It was a gesture of class and graciousness by the vanquished. Damon Myers recovered. In 1998, he returned for his senior year and was able to play some football. And when the Army-Navy game ended last December at the Vet, with Army victorious this time, he stood at attention while the alma maters were played. The tears ran like rivers down his face. And Lt. Gen. David Christman, the superintendent of the United States Military Academy, a three-star general, came up to him and put an arm around him and pulled him close. And they stood there in the December gloaming, clinging to each other, the general and the midshipman, hot tears on cold faces, and those who looked upon that moment were moved beyond words. There should have been a picture of that moment. and then, whenever somebody wondered out loud what it is, exactly, that so grips you about Army-Navy, all you would have to do was point at that picture: the cannon fire echoing in the chill, the call of the trumpets dying in the dusk - and two generations, two fierce opponents, holding onto each other." thank you , Bill Lyon Dindy Liebert Phila.

Rhonda I do have a tape of the game as well as the ESPN Game Day Show segment where Lee Corso always shows off his Navy robe he won in a bet on the game 32 years ago. Please contact me directly if you are interested. It also includes the post game singing of the alma maters. One down and one to go. Roll Tide Roll !!!!!

Date: Mon, 6 Dec 1999 19:18:48 -0500 charset="iso-8859-1" X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2314.1300 Subject: Thornton Video Tapes. To all... As a matter of course, I have allowed all forms of discussions as long as they do not violate our rules. I commend you all for being aware of the rules and making a concerted effort to keep them in mind when you write to our lists. Today's topic 'de jour (The quality and value of the Thornton Video Tapes) is starting to get into a gray zone and I wanted to remind our membership that we are not about "Calls to Action." I actually feel that if a topic is acceptable in conversation between a few parents who might be talking face to face or over the phone, then it is acceptable on our lists. Civil and well mannered adults can carry on an informative and beneficial conversation even if it is critical of a certain establishment or service such as a "to be avoided" hotel or a less than excellent service or commodity. Every member has a right to an opinion about such things and should be permitted to relate their "experiences" to the other members of our lists. Without sounding harsh or critical of what has already been said, I would respectfully request that messages about such things as inferior services or goods be restricted to actual facts that are known to the writer and avoid going too far when it comes to "recommending" what actions should or should not be taken by others. While not suggesting that this was the intent of those messages already posted, I can almost hear other members getting up steam to write to Thornton (or others) complaining about the quality of the video tapes without actually having seen a copy or simply on the weight of what they read on our lists. This would be totally inappropriate. Please remember that our lists have an almost unprecedented ability to do good for our members but that, if not properly channeled, they can also create huge problems for our service. We do not want (or need) a commercial enterprise (Thornton or anyone else) naming USNA-Net in a defamation law suit claiming loss of revenue as a result of well intended, yet possibly, misdirected criticism. The quality of these tapes was thoroughly discussed, both pros and cons, at the time of ordering. If a member has ordered the tapes and feels gypped, that member has every right to complain to Thornton. Please do not participate in any campaign with the intent to force Thornton to remedy the perceived problem. Market forces will cure the problem when there is a drop in future orders as the word gets out to future Plebe Parents.

To: usna-net@navy-usna.org Many have talked of this wonderful weekend and the GAME! I will not dwell on the game.......it was fabulous...and Joyce and Sandi and others have said it all so well....but I do want to write about our experience in our home.....where we entertained about 35 different mids over the two days! Each year before this we have entertained Mids in our home... but never more than about 8.....and each year Peter would ask us to host a 'party'.....and each year we would tell him that he had to wait until he was 21.....Well, this was the year...and besides, he's a firstie...... For weeks before the Game we planned menu's and guest lists... Mom did the shopping...Dad prepared the back yard...and Peter handed out the flyers to his friends.... Our house isn't large and we don't allow smoking in the house so each year...those who do smoke (unfortunately there are a number) put on their coats and go outside....well, to allieviate that and to give the group some extra room we rented a canopy tent....I wasn't expecting it to be a grand one...just something practical to give us some extra and needed room...but it was a wonderful affair...a red/white vinyl tent that was 20x20 with a peaked center.....I put little white lights all around the inside perimeter....and Dad Peter also rigged a tarp canopy over the storm cellar door in the back of the house...and we put the tent up right along the back of the house....so the kids could come right from the basement to the tent and have a great party area.....and voilla! we had an extra room... Friday dawned with plenty to do before the Mids arrived.....I cooked home made hot fudge and butterscotch sauses for the 'do it yourself sundaes', I browned the beef for Saturday's chili.....and generally held down the fort... As the afternoon progressed and we began to expect the Mids to arrive...we did what we could do to welcome them.....the 'Bill the Goat' and USNA insignia flags were flying...and we even hoisted a huge 'Brigade of Midshipmen' flag from the second floor ....We got the kegs, made the beef patties and waited for them to arrive.. Like a swarm of bees (only much more firendly) they descended on our house...each one greeting us with thanks and hugs, then dropping their bags of stuff on any open floor space...hanging up their uniforms and after changing making use of our new tent in the back yard....It was incredible! .....Once about half of those expected for Friday night had arrived we put the burgers on the grill.....and fed them as they arrived!!!...They partied and talked about the Game for hours...finally getting to sleep about 2am......Oh, and we had our first crisis!.... One of the mids who we expected....did not come....they had made it to a hotel near the airport and had decided that exhaustion was the primray concern..The mid did call us though....and a good thing too, as that Mid had the uniforms of two of the Mids staying here in the car....so when several of the Mids asked me for directions to that hotel I volunteered to drive a mid down there to pick up the stuff...( I knew that there would be NO time in the morning to travel there first before making it to the stadium ...and besides I knew the way there and back better than anyone else......and even I go a little lost...So at midnight.....off we went to rescue the morn.... Even I overslpept the next morning...not enough time to cause late arrival to the stadium...but late enough not to be able to serve a 'good' breakfast.....and then the next disaster...one mid could not find his uniform pants...he checked everything he brought....the car, the bags etc....but he had not remembered to bring them....contemplating the alternative and the punishment was not fun....but the Liebert 'mounties' saved the day and that mid wore a black wool pair of pants right out of my closet...( he later told me that they were much more comfortable and warm that his real ones... and no one even noticed! so after hurried showers, and some coffee.....off they went.......to be followed by the rest of us....There were four girls who came with Mids....they had been planning on watching the game on our TV....but we were lucky enough to have a fellow parent call on Friday with a few more tickets....BOY were they thrilled!!! I got hugs all around We followed soon after with breakfast packed in the trunk of the car!.... The traffic was horrendous, but we did manage to get there in time formarch on...and the hat tipping message....wasn't that great?....Then we imported the breakfast to our Mids in the stands....and watched the game... and generally had a wonderful time!!! Saturday night saw quite a few more Mids arrive....and the tent certainly got a hefty work-out.....We served Chili and salad......And we were so lucky to have a visit from the parents of one of my son's bestfriends... they managed to spare some time to come and visit us...!!! It was so wonderful...meanwhile, I decided that I would drive them back to their hotel rather than have their Mid do it......for 2 reasons....that way their Mid could party.......the other was that I KNEW where I was going so I returned them to their hotel.....When I returned the time was right for serving the 'make your own sundaes...... You certainly have never seen so much ice cream and sauce just dissappear....and not too much time later (around 1am) they all settled in for the night...and this was the trick!!! Where do you put thirty strapping Mids to sleep?..answer: any where they want expecially if your house is small..... I had managed to gather together lots of sheets, blankets and pillows...and some of the kids had brought their sleeping bags...so they spread their beds.....in the front hall in the living room and in the dining room and in the basement, and in the computer room.....and in both or son's and daughters rooms.... and although it took a while...they were finally all happily ensconced in their 'beds'........... The next morning I got up in plenty of time to serve the loaded eggs......and danish, muffins and croissant from Sam's....and then they started to depart....in dribs and drabs.... but not without saying thank you and giving another hug...many left by lunch but the very best friends spent the rest of the day with us....and we loved it.......they entertained us with stories....and helped us clean up....they took down the tent and gathered the laundry....and did the dishes again..... and at 4:30 when the last of them left in a four car caravan I went inside and sat down........for I really could...there wasn't a stictch of work to do...it had all been done by our guests!!! I guess I started to write this because I wanted to relate how I felt right after they all departed....and I got carried away... but I do want to say that I suffered a great big let down when they were all gone....I missed the noise...and I missed the kids...and I really felt the quiet of our home engulf me.... I wanted them to all come back.... I was devastated...I missed them so quickly......and hope that next year no matter where they all are....that they will be sure to know that they are welcome to come back and stay again.... I can't get over the fact (even after 4 years) that each time the Mids show up they make life such a joy...by being so polite, interesting, attentive, and just plain fun...and that when they leave you can look around and almost wonder if they were figments of your imagination...for there isn't a thing out of place or a piece of trash left to tell that they had been there and had a great big party!!!

I guess it's time for a note from your "Co-Moderator." Because of all the excitement and the very real interest that everyone has shown in the Army/Navy game, we have been overlooking posts to the Lists that, perhaps, might have been sent to the "wrong" place. Now we should get back on track. Remember, we have three Lists: USNA-Net: for basic information that relates to EVERYONE. USNA-Plebe: For plebe related information, and longer and more chatty information. This is where you put the "conversational" posts. USNA-Sports: For ALL sports related items. The only exceptions are ticket exchanges and travel information. If you do not belong to USNA-Sports and would like to, simply send Mike or me a note and we will subscribe you> Please try to remember the function of each of our Lists and send your posts to the correct one. One more thing (bear with me) !! Remember to use Plain Text - only - when sending your Posts. We have had several posts recently that have been sent in RTF. RTF is difficult for our server to process, have you ever noticed that those posts sent in RTF do not have the member signature line? RTF clogs the Archives with unnecessary HTML coding, and we have many members whose email programs can not process RTF and so the posts come to them as unreadable. So let's be "good little" USNA-Netters and remember to post in Plain Text! Now, get out there and decorate your homes, make cookies and, for goodness sake, get your shopping done!!

The only thing better was to be there! Let me add a small part our adventure. I received a call at 10:45 AM on Thursday from my wife saying that she wanted to go to the game, we had other commitment for December 4, but my wife thought it was more important to be at the game with our Mids. Because of this łGREAT NET˛, we got two tickets at face value and found a hotel room all by 5:30 PM that night. I went to bed after everything was arranged, around 6 PM and by 2:00 AM, Friday, we started our travel from Poplar Bluff, Missouri. We drove.....1028 miles! made it to Philly by 7:00 PM. Friday night. Our Mids were already waiting in our room, they were very happy and glad that we made it, they could not believe that we did all that with such short notice! Saturday morning, we were lucky to park our car right next to navy parents that belong to the USNA net. They recognize our name, what a small world! After the game we went to gate D, to meet the other parents, we remembered reading early about the red, blue and white ribbons and they were easy to identify. This was our second Navy/Army game and we hope that we can make it to another game before the year 02. Sunday at 11:00 AM, we star our travel back home and again, we drove the 1028 miles! What a great weekend, what a great experience! Way to go Navy!

Today, you received a message from HEARNES Warren 1989 46268 B1 addressed to Corps@west-point.org. This message was broadcast to every single member of any list on our servers in Austin, TX. announcing their new online bookstore. I'm writing to put some confusion to rest that some of our newer members might have about why they received this message from West Point. WP.ORG is our sponsor group. It is the West Point equivalent of USNA-Net but has been around about 3 years longer. It is through their generosity that we are able to operate out listservers. We use their computers and software and I maintain all of our lists and our website on the equipment located in the home of one of their members from my computer in Westlake, OH. As part of their massive membership of almost 15,000 individuals (consisting of Parents and Alumni of West Point plus our little "Navy" corner of the world), there is a super-master list of all members called "Corps." EVERYONE who is subscribed to any of the lists on their computer is a part of "Corps." This super-master list is used to contact everyone at one time when announcements of this kind are necessary. You should only get about five of these messages a year. The "Corps" list is also used to announce their semi-annual fund-raiser for WP.ORG but I'll discuss that when the time rolls around sometime during the Dark Ages. Since I realize that very few of you are interested in West Point merchandise, I've asked the SysOp to filter these messages so that our list members don't receive them but every once in a while one slips past his ever watchful eye. We apologize for the unnecessary intrusion. One more thing... USNA-Net has it's own online source for books, music and videos (related to Navy and also just of general interest). You can find the link to this webpage in our website's index under "Books and Videos." Using this site's link to Amazon.com generates a small (and I mean VERY small) commission that is used to defray the costs of the operation here at USNA-Net. So instead of using the Big West Point site (talked about in the WP message) and having your participation blurred into all of the other purchases made by WOOPs, please use our site instead so that we know what portion of any sales are generated by our Navy Family. Just a simple reminder. All of the money ends up in the same place but we get credit for your purchases if you do them through USNA-Net's website (www.navy-usna.org) instead of either directly through Amazon.com or through WP's new online site. Anything that can be bought from Amazon.com can be purchased through our site at the same price but we get the extra benefit if you click through from our site. Loads of Holiday Gift Ideas, just in time for the Holidays.

In fact, my brother-in-law, a '72 grad won't talk to us for a over a month when Navy wins ! I live in West Point territory, I teach West Point children - it has nothing to do with the coach (a fine man!) it has everything to do with intensely disliking Navy and LOSING to them. Is it over-reacting - maybe! I won the bet in school - now have high school seniors wearing Go Navy buttons. It is killing them!

While "hanging out" in the lobby ( a Midshipman's father does not lie, drink, or curse) had a number of conversations and good fun with a few USMA folks. Most enjoyable encounter was with member of USNA class of '58 who won tickets to this year's game by entering contest held by local radio station in his hometown-approx 15 miles from The Point. Wanta' guess where the seats were? He was looking forward to raising the '58 guidon in the midst of the Army section-just great! On Sat morning asked clerk at the desk what was the best way to get to the stadium. He asked if we had a car to which I replied I did. He said the best way to get there was to drive-priceless I thought and appropriate for Army Central! One of my Army acquaintances made the most appropriate remark; "If we don't win I sure hope you guys do!" Kinda sums up the feelings between Army & Navy. Is there anyone who really can't comprehend the emotion of this event? The whole weekend was one of the best experiences that I can recall, and I didn't cry like I did after ND & USAF! Wish everyone could make this game every year! Gregg (Go Navy) Vardaman *** USNA-NET post by: VARDAMAN John G 01-8 VARDAMAN Sharon Have you subscribed to USNA-Sports yet?

The performance on Sun. will be taped for airing next yr. Within next couple weeks, PBS channels around the country will air last year's Messiah...time/date is subject to local PBS scheduling. Glee Clubs are joined by professional soloists and the Annapolis Symphony for this. Immediately following the Sunday 2:30 Messiah Concert, the mids in glee Clubs will be escorted out of the Chapel to board buses to DC. In previous years, the mids have taped the "Christmas in Washington " program that has been nationally televised each year around Dec. 18th. However, this year " TNT" bought the rights to carry this program. I'm not sure if the program will be taped or if it will be a shown live this coming Sunday..."CHRISTMAS IN WASHINGTON" /Sun. Dec.12th/8pm (at least, that's time shown in listings for Richmond VA) on TNT . Both of these events are marvelous experiences for the mids involved with the Glee Clubs at USNA. Hope some of you are able to enjoy seeing these performances on TV during the holiday season. joan chlan *** USNA-NET post by: CHLAN Kevin A. 00-2 CHLAN Greg and Joan Have you subscribed to USNA-Sports yet?

A VERY humble Joyce Hoffer here, after having read Joyce Burns' recitation of the ringing of the bells. At the time, I thought I couldn't make it down there. Now I am intensely sorry I didn't make an all-out effort. Since Navy is GOING to win again next year, I'll be there if I have to swim down the river! I do think, however, that I can tell you all the meaning of the banner she saw at the top of Bancroft. There have been MANY very strong restrictions imposed recently, for a variety of reasons. Mids know what the rules are, and know what they can expect if they break them. Also, depending on the circumstances, the penalties imposed can be different in every case. There have been so many cases this fall that the midshipman peer Court was backlogged until just 2 weeks ago. When the "worst" cases were adjudicated, the penalties involved loss of ALL liberty AND leave for some upperclassmen. They were not allowed to go home for Thanksgiving, are not allowed to go off the Yard for any reason, and a number of them were forbidden to go home for Christmas break. At the pep rally on the Thursday before the game, when the Superintendent announced that there would be a free weekend for all mids if Navy won, the cry went up from the back, "Free the Restrictees!! Free the Restrictees!" I am virtually sure that is the background for the sign at Bancroft. To give you the GOOD news, the mids on Restriction have been granted a reprieve because of the Navy victory and will be allowed to go home for a shortened Leave over Christmas. All's well that ends well. In accordance with Mike's suggestions about Sports belonging on the Sports Net, I am posting there the explanation of the ringing of the second victory bell, with ALL the Navy victories over Army. Hope you don't mind switching over. The Reading Period starts tomorrow (Saturday) and lasts until X-week begins officially. Your Mids will need to do lots of studying from now till the 21st and know they will be coming home soon after for conversation and rest.

He is now waiting to receive the Sup's 3 star shoulder boards! Apparently WP's Sup is a well respected and genuinely liked individual who gladly entered into the agreement with a 2/C midshipman!

I have spent a great deal of time this week on the Yard, and thought you might like to hear about the Messiah Concert, the holiday decorations, and my meeting with Joyce Burns. First of all, for those of you coming to pick up Mids before Christmas break, there is a box at Gate 1 for Toys for Tots. The Marines are collecting new, unwrapped toys until Dec. 20, and would appreciate any donations you can make. Also, there has recently been a 100% ID rule -- one person in every car must show a photo ID when coming through Gate 1. Be ready with your wallet, in case there is a long line of cars behind you, so as not to hold them up. The mother of one of my Sponsor Sons has been visiting from Florida this weekend. When Joyce Burns wrote that she would not be able to use her Messiah tickets, I was thrilled to go over and pick them up so that A.S. and I could attend. Joyce is still in the throes of renovating her new home here. It was GREAT for the two Joyces to finally meet and have a chance to chat face-to-face. I'm sure all of you have had the chance to read her postings and appreciate her descriptive powers. Joyce's tickets were in the Superintendent's section. The chapel was decorated with wreaths and swags and big red bows. Before the concert, everyone was invited to participate in the singing of Christmas carols, accompanied by the famous organ. The chapel rang with song. We sat in the middle of the 5th row from the alter steps. The balcony and the long apse had filled early with people who had General Admission seats - ours were reserved. The rows around us were empty until just before the concert. About 10 minutes before it started, Admiral Ryan showed up with all the guests he had entertained at dinner, and the seats filled up. Our seatmates were a Vice Admiral and his wife -- gold braid all the way up his sleeves and lots of "chest candy" (ribbons and medals), including a HUGE gold oval one -- Pentagon service, I am told. His wife was very warm and welcoming and told us he graduated here twenty five years ago. They were excited to be back in Annapolis. The concert was nothing short of thrilling. The four soloists were renowned professional singers, and the Naval Academy Men's and Women's Choruses plus the Hood College Chorus were accompanied by the Academy organist and members of the Annapolis Symphony Orchestra. Both written in the program and announced at the beginning were a prohibition on flash photos, so I was unable to take any pictures. Each of the solos was preceeded and followed by a brief break, during which the orchestra rested and the soloists stepped down. During one break late in the program, which had included so many references to the "newborn babe," there was the distinctive wailing of a tiny infant who was being removed from the chapel. As the wail faded off into the distance, we could distinctly see the smile on the face of the conductor, who appreciated as we did, the fact that the baby had been brought to hear about The Baby. I talked to a plebe Mom this afternoon. She was sitting in the balcony opposite that baby and its parents. The baby had been cared for during the concert by its Navy father, who carried it out when he thought it was disturbing the listeners. The music was SUPERB, and the Mids sang out loud and clear. Several of them were smiling during the entire concert, and I particularly enjoyed watching their faces. At several points, the conductor signaled for FULL participation, and the sound was overwhelming - beautifully overwhelming. Goose bump overwhelming. I have attended many concerts in many concert halls, all over the world. NEVER, ANYWHERE, have I seen a response from the audience like the reaction to this one. Within one second of the conductor's lowering his baton, the entire audience was on its feet, applauding and cheering. Totally spontaneously. It lasted for a long long time. Each of the soloists took a bow, as did the orchestra, and the conductor. The mids on the alter were applauding for all of them. It was a wonderful evening! Thank you, thank you, Joyce! Afterwards, we walked over to Dahlgren to meet A's son, my Sponsor Son. When he left, we decided to walk home through the cold, clear night. Leaving Dahlgren, we saw the huge, decorated Academy Christmas tree silhouetted against the lit Chapel dome. Both of us took pictures. We talked, on the way, about the difference between crisp, chilly Annapolis and South Florida at this time of year. About her son's impending visit home, and his plans for the vacation. As I've said many times before, the new friendships we have made through the Academy and the net will be friendships that will last the rest of our lives. I am deeply grateful to be a part of the Naval Academy family. Wishing Happy Holidays and a VERY Happy New Year to all of you. Enjoy your time with your Mids and send them back to us well-prepared for those long, gray days in January. Plebe Year is halfway over, and things should ease up from now on. FORWARD TO HERNDON!!!!!

C.! We had the opportunity to be on-line with Mollie while we watched the concert! She explained each event as it unfolded before our eyes. We were trully disappointed to find out that TNT had cut the opening song about Dreams in D.C. Mollie said it was quite a spectacular song. We were also disappointed that TNT cut the men's glee club song. Although the president and the entire audience were able to hear them sing, the home audience had to endure a commercial! We were also disappointed that the cameras did not pan the entire group of Midshipman at least once! Our good fortune was seeing the Midshipman come on stage to back up Jewell, and we saw Mollie in the front row. Later during the finale, she was directly in the center, behind the podium in the second row. During the President's speech, she was directly off to the right of his head and smiled the entire time. What a lucky experience for all of us! She said it was awesome watching how this production was put together. Mollie was able to talk to Brandon Frazier back stage and later he bumped into her while exiting the stage. She said it was incredible how nervous he said he was about being the one to talk to the president. Mollie had a bird's eye view from the second row as she watched, Jewell, Christine Aguilara and 98 Degrees perform! She also was able to see BB King, the famous Jazz guitarist, and Chris Isaacs, a country western guitarist, who were featured as well. She said it was fun watching the president change some of his speech from the tele-prompter. She can't wait to see the video we taped and share it with her friends! Last week they had the sporting event of a life time, and this week the Glee Club Midshipman had the opportunity to perform the Messiah, which will be broadcast later this month. (unfortunately for us it will be last year's Midshipman who are shown) Then the highlight of this week was performing in Christmas in D.C. for the President and Hillary and getting to see several big names. These are the kinds of opportunities that will make her cherish her Academy days! We only have five days and a wake up to go and our Midshipman will be home! What wonderful opportunities they have to treasure! Sincerely, Caryn Mears, WA Mollie Mears, 03-21 *** USNA-NET post by: MEARS Mollie Ann 03-21 MEARS Caryn L. Have you subscribed to USNA-Sports yet?

Strangely enough, as we watched with friends, I remarked that they should have had the Glee Club do their version instead. If you have heard it you know that it sends chills, brings tears, and leaves you numb. I was talking to my son online tonight, and what do you suppose they cut?? Yeah, that's it. Ave Maria. There's no question in my mind that they'd have shown up the professionals. 2) Did anyone else catch the way Jewel and Chris Isaak listened to and nodded appreciatively at the Glee Club during the carols?

I had been anticipating sharing that moment for so long! Oh well, there will surely be many more moments. So she proceeds, armed with her LOA, and now her nomination. She is still awaiting her eye waiver, and even though they say it is a given, I don't think she will rest easy until she has it in hand! I believe she begins in 200 days!!! Her brother will try to get home to present her appointment, if he is not assigned for the first block this summer. That will be a 2 Kleenex Box Kodac moment for us!!

The passport was $45 or $60 (can't remember) and what they wear is not important. In fact the Glee Club Director had instructed the Mids to wear civilian clothes UNLESS performing in Europe. The passport office is VERY picky about the photo so had the photo taken at a place that does quick passport photos. They have to be identicle and the perfect size. That is usually $15 for the photo.

He was very glad he had both passports because he needed to have his gov't passport when he served in the Far East for his 2nd class cruise. The gov't passports expire after 1 year. Their departure from USNA was delayed and some Mids did not go to their original destinations because of a State Dept snafu--ie missing birth certificates that the Chief knew he had submitted. I would also recommend your Mid have extra original birth certificates (with raised seals) in case it needs to be submitted for the issuance of a gov't passport. For both passports, our mid wore and will wear civilian clothings. Hope this helps. Happy Holidays to all!!

This group of escourted Mids will travel in civilian clothes specifically so that they are not identified. Once there they will be able to travel into military installations though.

Most travel agencies have the documents needed for passports and will take photos. Our daughter got hers at the Academy for a Spring Break trip to England her Youngster year. Since she was doing it on short notice, we paid the additional fee of $35 or $35 to facilitate it. THEN we contacted our congressional representative and his office tracked it and hastened it through. Hers was issued through the Pentagon, but was still good this year when we went to Ireland - that has been four years.

Areas may handle their Christmas or Holiday Balls differently. Some have an "All Academies" holiday ball with shared responsibilities and alternating which club is the host and others hold academy specific events. We are also aware of a USMA Parents club that sponsors a holiday ball and then extend invitations to have the other local cadets, Mids and parents join them. Also the dates of the balls often vary by location. We, as parents, have enjoyed our local ball for the past 3 yrs. and look forward to this year's event. Interest from Mids and cadets usually depends on which of their friends will also be attending.

Military passports are good for five years but you can only get them if you have orders overseas. When we moved to Japan last year, we were required to get a military passport since we would be traveling and living in another country for an extended period of time on orders from the Navy. With a regular passport, you often need a visa and they are only good for a certain period of time, hence the requirement of a military passport. We also had civilian passports (all pictures were in civilian clothes even for the military member) and just looking at them from the outside they appear to be the same. Hope this helps.

Check your phone book and they should have the information or ask at your local post office and they should be able to tell you where to go if they don't accept the applications. If you need a visa to visit a country, and that varies from country to country, you need to get them once you know that you will be visiting that country. These are obtained directly from the countries embassy or consulate and can be obtained by mail. Someone suggested AAA, which is a good suggestion since they be a big help for this. Some countries do not even require a visa from a U.S. citizen, it just depends and you can get that information from the Web...the State Department would have it on their site. You do only need the pictures and birth certificate...unless you have had a name change (from your birth certificate) and they may then need proof of that.

If I'm being redundant, please excuse. While your sons and daughters might find an official passport "cool," and there are times when it is important to carry one, I recommend a tourist passport for most uses, especially for international travel. I don't want to appear alarmist, but there are people in the world (lots of them, unfortunately) who would single out an American serviceman or woman as a target, or as focus of attention in, say, a hostage situation. You and your loved ones should be aware of this. As I said, I don't want to be alarmist. Indeed, the likelihood of something bad happening is small. But it exists, and is growing. The relative anonymity of a tourist passport may not be much, but under some circumstances, it may be significant. So that you know I speak with at least a bit of knowledge on this subject, I'm a career intelligence officer still on active duty in the Navy. If I can be of assistance to anyone individually, please feel free to email me directly and I'll try to answer your questions. KJL Kevin J.

We used it several times over the Thanksgiving break. Our midn took an Amtrak train from there up to Springfield, MA to meet up with us for T-Day weekend, then we all took the train back to BWI/Annapolis on Sunday. VERY convenient...there's a free shuttle to and from BWI airport... it takes about 10-15 minutes and stops at all the regular stops (like the SuperShuttle). Because the trains coming up from DC stop at BWI before the Baltimore station, there's almost ALWAYS room -- and if its crowded, it's because there are lots of other midn on the train. Many Amtrak trains (other than Metroliners) are "unreserved" -- meaning, you're guaranteed a space but not a seat. Getting on at BWI practically assures you a seat, tho. The taxi fare from Annapolis to the BWI Amtrak station is $20 shared, or $30 single. Hope this helps.

The sky colors in Annapolis today, especially over the Yard near sunset, were spectacular! Apparently, the weatherman had predicted snow for this afternoon (it never fell -- too warm!) and that may have accounted for some of the most unusual clouds I have ever seen. At 8 this morning, the clouds were white, with dark edges, against a blue sky. What made them so amazing was that they acted as a backdrop for the black tree trunks and branches in my back yard. The sun was not high enough yet to peek over the Naval Academy housing on the hill behind my house, so there was an eery bluish light over all. By this afternoon, when I went to the Post Office and then to deliver two packages to Bancroft, the sky was a gorgeous blue - between robin's egg and turquoise. The CENTERS of the puffy clouds were gray, the edges were white, and the sky was tinged with gold in the West and pink in the North. Each of these colors reflected onto the white of the nearest clouds. It made for a HEAVENLY sight across the water, believe me! An even BETTER sight, however, awaited me as I approached Bancroft from T Court. On the curved wall leading up to the right sat a squirrel, upright, with something long and white in his paws. He wasn't eating it, just LOOKING at it, as if it were his Christmas list. I couldn't approach him, as I didn't want to scare him away. He stayed there the entire time I was going up the steps, but was gone when I came back down a few minutes later. Checking his list, perhaps, to see which Mids had been naughty or nice??????? I'm going to have to start carrying a camera in my pocket!!!!! For those who wonder about Tecumsah, he is back to his old bronze self again, but Bill the Goat (remember I said his horns were bright green last week?) has gotten a swag of evergreens and a big red velvet bow around his neck. Most, if not all, of the Plebes are headed home today. As I told the Plebe parents, they are NEW people, this 4th Class. It will be a time for many joyous reunions, I'm sure. And ON TO HERNDON!!! From all the silent Sponsor Families who haven't made it onto the Net yet, and especially from the Hoffers, may we wish you a Happy Holiday Season and a wonderful celebration at the turn of the New Year. It has been our pleasure to meet many of your sons and daughters, especially those in the 3rd & 4th Classes - wish it could have been all 4,000!! We hope to make the acquaintance of more of you net parents at future USNA events.

After reading Joyce Hoffer's account of the sunset on Thursday, I thought I'd help those of you that have never seen a sunRISE over the Docks in Annapolis. I took 18 Photos from the Baycam between 0720 and 0800 today and combined them into an animation that I've posted on the site. To view this morning's sunrise, go to our website (www.navy-usna.org) and click on the link in the upper right corner that says "Sunrise Animation" Be warned that it is a large file and could take as long as five minutes to load completely after the page comes up in your browser. In some browsers, you will get the first frame of the animation almost immediately but the other 17 will still take time to load. When it's completely loaded, it will repeatedly run through the animation sequence. I still think it's worth the wait. Click the link, and go get a cup of coffee while it loads. I did this especially for those of you on the "left coast" for whom sunrise in Annapolis occurs at 0421 PST. Enjoy...

It's been our experience, having two mids at the academy, that the Cully's advice does satisfy federal tax guidelines (states may have slightly different interpretations). Guess it occassionally makes sense to have stored many of the "previously received" emails:-) *************************************** Subj: usna-net: taxes and mid dependency Date: 3/24/99 4:58:55 PM Eastern Standard Time From: cullfam@warwick.net (Some Cully) Reply-to: cullfam@warwick.net To: usna-net@navy-usna.org (usna-net @navy-usna.org) One of the most confusing situations that parents of midshipmen encounter is how to file their federal taxes for their mid's first year at the Naval Academy as well as the years that follow. In order to be certain on this issue, my husband and I located the official form that was given to us by the Academy when our son was a plebe. It listed the gov.'s exact monetary support to our son from I-Day until Dec of that year. Cash, food allowance, lodging, medical and dental care expenses were all listed. There was another section with itemized areas where we could list our support. As suggested on this form, our support at this time period did exceed the total support provided by the Academy, (the other dependency tests were met as specified by the IRS) and we were able to claim our mid as a dependent, especially in using the initial money deposit that was required for entering plebes. BUT the advice in this official form then stated that "although these same general calculations can be used for mid's other years at the Naval Academy, midshipmen pay and Academy support will be greater over the full years and that parents' support is unlikely to exceed "support by others" ". They suggested for further information or assistance, please call the officer in charge at the Midshipmen Financial Advisor Ofice, 410-293-3307. I trust that this is helpful to those who are wondering what to do. Go Navy! Kathy & Jim C.

I always calculated both returns both ways and I always got the larger benefit. When I knew what the difference was going to be on my sons' returns, I would reimburse them the difference in their returns and then claim them on my return for the larger discount on my taxes than they would have gotten on theirs.

To: usna-net@navy-usna.org I hope the Zets don't rip me for this............ This IS a MID related item! ( I think ) :) I live in Reno and have a little logistical problem. I have bought a car for my Mid in Loveland, Colo.. It's a completely restored '67 Corvette in near showroom condition. The kind of a car that really isn't driven much at all and it is pretty valuable. The car haulers can't give an absolute definitive date for a pick up ( within a week or so) and I don't feel good about leaving the seller with the car and the $$, if you know what I mean. I'll have a title only and would have to go on trust that the car is there when the haulers show up. I do trust him, but you don't do a transaction like this on trust alone. At least I don't. I'm looking for a USNA family in the Denver/Loveland/Berthoud area who would be willing to let me put this car in their garage for a short time until the haulers can pick it up. I'd be willing to reimburse you for your troubles, but it does need to be a safe place. And no daily test driving by your Mid on leave will be required either thanks. If anyone can help me out here, that would be great. Tom Miller Matt'03/28 Cross Country/Track *** USNA-NET post by: MILLER Matthew C 03-28 MILLER Thomas Have you subscribed to USNA-Sports yet?

I too have heard similar remarks, and I must say, that I have taken them to heart, wondering how to set a clear and fair boundary between our Mids' lives and ours. One thought that I have shared with my son is this: the net is not about watching the mids and reporting on them as if they were fish in a fishbowl; rather, the net is a web that allows parents who share similar feelings and challenges, to learn from one another and to build supportive friendships. This is a gift that we provide one another because we face something that parents of civilian college students simply don't: the awareness that our children have taken a very serious and sacrificial oath for love of country.

Sometime shortly after the Holidays, WP.ORG will again send a message to everyone via the CORPS Listserver at West Point regarding Fund Raising. This will explain that message for the newcomers and refresh the memory of the long term members. (If you want - skip to the ****Read This**** part below.) USNA-Net, USNA-Plebe, USNA-Sports and USNA-ClubNet are hosted (at no charge to our USNA-Net members) by WP.ORG, Inc. The day to day functions are performed in Austin, TX by ditus Bolanos, West Point Grad (who was not commissioned due to a late Firstie Year accident that left him unable to serve). ditus is a Computer Wizard and an exceptionally dedicated WP Grad. Through his genius and dedication to all things Military, WP.ORG was born about six years ago. WP.ORG supports 110 or so different lists for WP graduates, staff and PARENTS. In June of 1998, ditus and the Board of Advisors extended their support to USNA Parents. We formed USNA-Net with Dolf Biel (WP Grad) as our Moderator. Dolf was also Moderating the WP Parents Lists and had his hands full. I was recruited to take over and have been in charge of the USNA lists ever since. I am 100% NAVY. Served 6 years enlisted ('68 - '74) with ComFairWingThree, Brunswick, ME. P3's - ASW. But I digress. WP.ORG supports its financial needs through donations from its members. It takes a more than a few dollars to run the computers (plural) in Austin and rent T1 Internet access to allow the Listservers to function plus support the Websites, etc. Therefore, the need for a periodic fund raiser. When the message arrives it will again remind our members that there really is a way to repay the sponsors for their kindness and generosity in hosting USNA-Net for all of its members' benefit. The message is sent to the CORPS listserver which includes everyone on any of the 110 lists the WP.ORG supports. In a nutshell, the message will ask for donations from members of ALL the lists. USNA members are therefore included in this list of donors. It also includes West Point Parents and Alumni who supply the bulk of the donations for WP.ORG's budget. WP.ORG has full IRS 501c(3) Non-Profit status and all donations are fully tax deductible. Consult with your tax advisor for details. **************** PLEASE READ THIS ********************** Donations are ABSOLUTELY VOLUNTARY!!! You won't be hounded (too much) to respond. You will NOT be asked to leave the list, if you do not send a donation. But if you can send in a small donation, please do. I'm sure that you will all agree that the service received is invaluable. Even a few dollars would be appreciated. I like to think of this as the Internet equivalent of a PBS Fund Raising Drive. If you send in your donation, you get to watch another year of PBS. If you don't, you still get to watch. If you can, please be generous. If you can't, we all understand what it's like to pinch pennies for Care Packages and those long distance trips to the Yard. One more thing... Please identify yourselves as USNA-Net members when you make your donations. Write USNA-Net on the memo line on your check or click "Other" and specify USNA-Net if you choose to donate on-line using the on-line form. Just be sure to let them know that we're Navy Parents helping with the cause. In times past, we were all lumped into "Other" without the ability to track the total supplied through Navy Parents' generosity. This year, they promise to show us as a separate category of donors so that we can be recognized for "Our" Navy contribution. All donations (amounts and donor names) are totally private and even I don't have access to this information. No one will know how much (or even IF ) you donated but we will have the total amount donated by Navy Parents available during the fund raiser. GO NAVY ! - BEAT army ! (Again !) Enough said. If you have questions, contact me directly at mzets@mail.com. PLEASE do not respond via our lists.

They can access a very basic e-mail system thru this link http://www.usna.edu/testing/webmail/ At that screen they enter their log in info and proceed. (They have to know which server their e-mail account resides on, "arctic, baltic, etc.") There is some information regarding using a dial up access to access MIDS remotely that I just found this morning. When Joe, gets up (he's taken to sleeping late the last few days, I don't know why ....) we'll see if we can dial into Annapolis that way. If we get it to work, I'll post an update.

After the dialup connects and you start your browser, you will probably go to your normal home screen. The MIDS menu is at www.usna.edu/MIDS Some of Joe's grades were still not posted, but now we know he can look them up if he still feels brave later this week. Good luck with the dial-up.

While most of you have seen the counter in the lower left corner of the main page, those of you that use Netscape Navigator see an empty black box without the numbers. I'm not sure if AOL supports the graphics to make the counter visible either. I know it works in MS Internet Explorer and even rolls over as each new visitor enters the site while you're there. So...

Just do not expect to be reimbursed by the Govt. for the expense. Of course, you have the option of waiting until your mid returns to the yard and having it done by the US Navy which would be at their expense, instead of yours. Back in our mid's earlier years, (those earlier years when he was home long enough for check ups and dental work) we always had him visit his regular dentist of many years. Then again he was friends with the female receptionist which didn't hurt either. Now however, our mid, a firstie, is never home long enough for any of these activities. This year our mid was the company adjutant who scheduled others for watch. In return, and totally characteristic of our son, he scheduled himself for Christmas Day. He is spending what little free time after his last exam tomorrow with his girl friend and her family in Silver Spring, MD which is only about 25 min from the yard. he will then return to the Yard for watch early Saturday (XMAS) morning. Meanwhile, his girl friend's sister, a caterer, and her mother are making a Christmas dinner on Saturday and delivering the gourmet meal to the mids on watch that day. BTW, his girl friend's sister is a graduate of the Culinary Institute in NY These mids on watch XMAS Day are getting a real treat. Try to tell me these mids don't learn how to wheel and deal. Of course our mid is a prior Marine wherein he learned a lot. Sorry for the digression, but as long as your mid is home, do whatever makes you both comfortable regarding check ups, dental visits/work, etc as long as you understand it is at your expense.

I cannot imagine how parents survived prior to your gift: a way to surpass those two seemingly invisible barriers: distance and ignorance of one another's existence. May you have a spectacular and restful holiday season, drink lots of eggnog, nibble on Santa's cookies, and toast the new Millennium without encountering a single bug in any system!

Just sending a somewhat belated wish to all for a Merry Christmas (almost over for us here in California, already kaput there on the East Coast, still a few hours left for those of you in Hawaii) but don't forget that the 12 days of Christmas have only just begun so you have lots of time to continue your celebrations. AND, New Year's is just around the corner so I wish you a happy new year, also. I do not yet wish you a happy new millennium, though, (or new century!) and I think you know why. If not, please be sure to check out these interesting sites which were sent to me by a professor of mathematics at the Academy. The perfect source for us is the U.S. Naval Observatory, at http://www.usno.navy.mil/millennium/whenIs.html Another authoritative source is the British Greenwich Observatory at http://greenwich2000.com/millennium/index.htm I think logic is just grand. Christmas blessings to all ...... and to all a good night!

At this moment he and his girlfriend are on board an Amtrak train bound for NYC to visit my brother and the big apple for a couple of days. I happen to love riding trains, and the gradual transition from one place to another without having to keep eyes fixed on the 18 wheelers just ahead and alongside and behind makes the relaxed atmosphere of the rail cars absolutely wonderful. What a great way to wrap up the year, plebe year, and the millennium! The sun shines brightly here in Richmond while I take a few moments to myself and return to my net friends/family before tending to chores. My son is changing and I see this change the most in his interaction with his younger brother and sister. He has taken care of his "mates" by spending time with them playing Nintendo, card games and Risk... building fires in the fireplace, driving the kids to Blockbuster, inviting them to join him when going to see his girlfriend at her house. He's turned off the outdoor lights and the Christmas tree lights each night. He smiles over small things, like knowing he can dip into the bowl of cookie dough that sits in the refrigerator. He cherishes sleeping late and not having a schedule, and laughed when a friend from high-school (who's like a sister), put on his cover and coat for a comical snapshot. Seven hours to cuddle as the landscape whizzes by; first the Virginia country side, then Tidewater marshes, glimpses of Quantico's helicopters and barracks, the Potomac and the Washington Monument and, later, Philadelphia's row houses, New Jersey's refineries, the tunnel into Manhattan, and the crowds at Penn Station where mink coats and rags cross paths. A few days of freedom before it's time to submit voluntarily to authority, meet a new squad and squad leader, undergo a rigorous training for running, and adjust to the absence of the loyal gal who captured his heart and saw him through a tough first three weeks of plebe summer (a strong contender for the 2% Club). Luckily, she can drive from UVA to Annapolis on weekends. I am particularly grateful, as I wrap up 1999, to my son's squad leader, Mr. Frank J. Weisser, III, for his exemplary leadership and attention to his squad. If his parents should happen to read this posting, I should like them to know how much I admire and respect their son. I hope that I have the opportunity to meet Mr. Weisser and his parents during Commissioning Week. No doubt 7th Heaven will continue to uphold its fine reputation with him at the helm come January 2000. My best wishes to all for a Happy New Millennium as we look forward with confidence and humility.

The grand ballroom of the Regal Riverfront was well filled. The band was great. The food was plentiful. The Admiral's speech was short and sweet. The Mids out sang the other academies (although the three coasties did a good job) in their school songs. And the company was wonderful. I highly recommend getting to one of these during your mids years at the academy. Happy Holidays to all.

Scott & Karen Decker Caitlin 03/22 Build me a son (daughter), O Lord who will be strong enough to know when he is weak and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid; one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, but humble and gentle in victory. Build me a son whose wishes will not replace his actions-a son who will know Thee, and that to know himself is the foundation stone of knowledge. Send him I pray, not in the path of ease & comfort, but the stress & spur of difficulties and challenge, here let him learn to stand up in the storm, here let him learn compassion for those who fall. Build me a son (daughter) whose heart will be clear, whose goal will be high; a son who will master himself before he seeks to master others; one who will learn to laugh, yet never forget how to weep, one who will reach into the future, yet never forget the past, and after all these thing, this I pray: enough sense of humor that he may always be serious, yet never take himself to seriously. Give him humility so that he may always remember the simplicity of true greatness, the open mind of true wisdom, the meekness of true strength, then I, his (her) parent will dare to whisper, " I have not lived in vain." *** USNA-NET post by: DECKER Caitlin A 03-22 DECKER Scott and Karen Have you subscribed to USNA-Sports yet?

Being here on the spot to sponsor four fine young men and to report to you about Annapolis, the Academy and "our" Mids has been a joy and a saving grace to me that is indescribable in words -- I won't even try! "Meeting" you parents has meant even more. THANK YOU for your compliments, kind words, virtual cards and letters. THANK YOU, to those of you I have actually met in person, for your warmth and friendship and inspiration. THANK YOU, on behalf of all the Sponsor Families, for lending us your daughters and sons. It is a privilege to be able to host them, give them advice, and offer them a place to "chill out." We have gained immensely from our association with them. Today dawned bright and clear and relatively WARM (50's) in Crabtown! The signs are out on the highway, directing the thousands who are expected to show up for First Night Annapolis tonight. Since it got the same publicity as First Night DC in this AM's Washington Post, (and since Annapolis was here FIRST), we know it will be mobbed downtown tonight. We haven't bought our tickets yet, as we haven't decided whether to take part in ALL the festivities (leaving my sister and 91 yr. old mother at home for the evening) or just the fireworks from Farragut Field at midnight. Our Sponsor Son who is back in Annapolis will have a lobster dinner with us early-on, and then go back to stand watch for some hours. We are hoping he will join us on the seawall when the BIG time comes!! As our own three sons are in Colorado, we will be happy to have a "sub" to hug!!! THANKS again and again to Mike and Sandi for making this all possible! Without you, this support system wouldn't be as powerful, informative and FUN as it is!! The BEST that I can wish for all of you is GOOD HEALTH in the New Year. As the Chinese say, happiness and wealth will follow, if only we are all healthy. May your fondest wishes come true, your families grow closer, and may we all meet FOR REAL on happy occasions in 2000 in Annapolis!!!

First... May Sandi and I wish you all a joyous and prosperous New Year filled with all of the things a Parent may want... Daily email from the Yard, extra weekends and academic success (however it is measured.) Health and Happiness to all. Joyce (Sponsor Mom) Hoffer has said so many wonderful things about Sandi and me that I'm still blushing. Thank you, Joyce, and all the others that have expressed gratitude for our Listservers. They have been slow of late but that's because most of you have your Mids at home and haven't even bothered to check your mail. Believe me, it's been an easy week or two for me, as well. When I stepped up to the job of Moderator in February of this year, We had fewer than 75 members. Today we number over 750 members, most of which are parent couples who subscribe under one address. So we're probably near 1,300 individual members. Most of this growth is owed to those members that have bragged about USNA-Net and encouraged others to join. We've been touted at Parents' Club Meetings and where ever Parents have gathered. Thank you all for helping spread the word. We're what we are today because of your help and encouragement. While it's still quiet on the lists, it's time to remind you that it will not stay that way. We have the cold, cold winter (the Dark Ages) still ahead and it's a long way to Herndon for our Plebe Class. We've already added our first '04 Parents and as January and February come along, we'll be adding loads more. Parents are eligible as soon as their Mid has formally accepted his appointment and committed to USNA. We've had a few others contact us already but the commitment had not yet been made. They'll be accepted as soon as it is. We will then be besieged with yet another round of questions that will be new to the new members but not to those of us that have been here for a while. I ask that you all be patient and share what you've learned with those that will be walking this path for the first time. To that end, also remember that as it was last year, we will be adding new members for the entire cycle. Some will join this spring while others will not find out about us until after Plebe Summer. I know that you will welcome them all as they come onboard. I'd also like to extend a heartfelt Thank You to all of the current members for making my job a lot easier in the past few months by abiding by the Rules of Operation. I think we've all gotten the hang of how the lists operate and what works. To those that I've had to remind about some things, I am appreciative of your open-mindedness and willing spirit of cooperation. It isn't easy being the traffic cop for this big a group but you've all made it much easier and definitely worth the effort. As we move into 2000, I expect to make some headway toward a closer relationship with the Academy. Admiral Ryan has expressed an interest in assisting us with announcements and such for the incoming Plebe Class. If this comes to pass, we could be double our current size by the end of next summer. We are also entertaining ideas for additional lists. One that is likely to come about soon will be Prayer-Net for those of our members who require a less secular discussion group. Remember, too, that USNA-ClubNet has been virtually shut down with zero activity for months now. It would be in the best interests of all of the new Club Officers, Activity Chairpersons and Newsletter Editors to bring it back to life with a few posting about what is planned for the coming year in your club. I'm certain that sharing ideas will make your efforts inside your club even better. Enough said. Keep those emails coming and enjoy the holidays. Best wishes and thanks again from Westlake, Ohio.

Late this afternoon I scooped up my returned Mid, stopped by Graul's for the lobsters and shrimps I had ordered, and rushed him back to our house for 2 hours of freedom and dinner with balloons, hats, noisemakers and chocolate desserts. He had to stand watch from 8-11, so I took him back to the Yard with bags of goodies to last till the others come back, plus a champagne-TYPE bottle of sparkling white grape juice to celebrate at midnight with his roommate. I left my car parked at THE PRIMO spot, near the 7 Seas monument on the seawall, where the Severn opens out into Annapolis Harbor. At a quarter to midnight, we returned in the other car - Barry and I, plus my sister, a young friend from Sweden, and my 91 year old mother! She has not been well, but I insisted that we all celebrate in a memorable way. Instead of firing the blasts from a barge in the Chesapeake, ALL the fireworks went off from the road by the Naval Academy seawall. If any Firsties had cars there yesterday, they were GONE by today!!! Blast after blast, color after color, booms and cascades and flashes. The gold and white ones were spectacular. I shot lots of film, and HOPEFULLY, will have some pictures for Mike early this week. The Grand Finale was so impressive, I was moved almost to tears. THINK OF IT! We have turned a century! ALL OF US TOGETHER! It was not so meaningful to prepare for it -- it is powerful to experience it. And NEXT YEAR, we can look forward to the true millennium! I have asked my Mom to please write down for her grandchildren, and now her first great-grandchild, the memories and words of one who has lived all but 7.5 years of the past century. Mind-boggling, isn't it? She is a poet and a writer. Although in great pain now, she is the one to put things in perspective for the rest of us. Here's to 2000 at the US Naval Academy! Here's to 2000 in your homes, in OUR homes, with OUR Navy family. Here's to old friends and new friends.
