We have received the following request for our help from Captain Alexander, Chief Navy Chaplain for the Naval Academy. Our Board of Advisors has decided to pass this information on to our entire membership and encourage you to participate in the program if you can. We want this to be a concerted effort on the part of USNA-Net to show our support for our new '07 Midshipmen during Plebe Summer. Please be sure to MAIL your package using US Mail and make sure that it is securely sealed. If you are sending a plastic box, be sure to seal it in brown paper with the proper address and return address plainly printed on the outside for easy identification. Respectfully, Mike Zets, for the USNA-Net Board of Advisors. ==========Original Message=============== Greetings, friends! As you know, the Naval Academy Class of 2007 formed-up on 1 July and is getting settled into Bancroft Hall. Last year, many of you mailed or delivered "care packages" to Plebes who were not receiving these tangible tokens of encouragement. Such Plebes include exchange Midshipmen from foreign countries and fleet Sailors and Marines. This year, the Naval Academy Chaplains' Office is again serving as the conduit for "care packages" to Plebes who are obviously missing out in the daily "mail call." Persons who desire to participate in this year's "Secret Pals" project should adhere to the following guidelines: 1. Do not send homemade treats. Without the preservatives commonly found in the store-bought items, the home-baked treats don't travel well. In three days, a home-baked brownie can turn from ambrosia to a brick. Packaged cookies and other commercially produced foods have a much longer shelf life. 2. Do not gift-wrap your package. Once the travel paper is removed, the box must be able to be easily inspected. Clear plastic containers are good for this purpose. 3. Resist the temptation to send junk foods. Dried fruit, beef jerky, snack bars are all good choices. If you must send Oreo cookies, do so in moderation. :-) Individually wrapped items are best, such as "snack portions" of foods. 4. No over the counter medicines, including vitamins, aspirin and Tylenol are permitted. Such items are provided by the medical staff when needed. 5. Do include a personal note of encouragement. It needs to be general, of course, and short. 6. If you are in the local area, do NOT deliver your package to the Main Office in Bancroft Hall. Ditto for the Chapel. The former will refuse the gift and the latter will turn it over to the bomb squad. If at all possible, please mail your package to the address given below. In the event that you work at the Naval Academy, please call the Chaplains' Offices at extension 3-1100 to advise us that you'll be making a delivery. We'll tell you where to bring your package. 7. The project ends in August and care packages must be postmarked no later than 11 August 2003 in order to allow movement through the mail system and arrival at the Academy before the Reform of the Brigade. Mail packages to: Project "Secret Pals" c/o U. S. Naval Academy Chaplain 101 Cooper Road Annapolis, MD 21402 Thanks for your willingness to share your gifts with our Plebes and for your partnership with the Naval Academy chaplains. If you have questions, please call me at 410-293-1104 or e-mail me at alexanlc@usna.edu . +++ *** USNA-Net post by: "Mike Zets" ================================================ Pass on our USNA-Net tradition to the next Class.

This morning, the nads.navy.mil email server began resending email which it received over the past couple of days for one of our members who uses that server to receive email from our lists. We refer to these messages as Echoes. Before we were able to identify the problem and correct it, a total of nine messages were sent to one or another of our various lists. Echoes occur when a mail server on the Internet leaves an "Open Relay" port available to the Internet's email system. The most common problem encountered is that messages previously transmitted are not deleted from the server's queue and are sent out again. This was NOT a problem with our USNA-Net server. As I said, it was a member's email server which was to blame. In this case it was actually a Navy computer which was sending out the Echoes. As soon as we saw what was happening, we shut down all mail from this server and the problem stopped. Since then we have intercepted an additional 24 messages from this errant server. We apologize for any inconvenience these Echoes may have caused. USNA-Net makes every effort to provide the best possible service to its members. Due to the nature of these messages, it is not possible to design a filter which will catch them in advance. All we can do is stop them once they have been detected. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Fellow members... Our Rules of Operation specifically forbid asking for or passing on Commercial Endorsements of any kind on our lists. They state... "7. No Commercial Content - All messages which contains information about Personal or Commercial Goods and/or Services FOR SALE or WANTED TO BUY are prohibited. This includes any message offering to barter, exchange or give away anything OR messages asking for anything, including favors or information on Commercial Goods or Services. ... - If an email message endorses a Product or Service or mentions Prices, Money or Goods/Services WANTED or FOR SALE it may NOT be broadcast to the lists. All such information MUST be placed on the Classified Advertisement Page. " We appreciate your enthusiasm and your needs to exchange information about what to supply in Care Packages, etc. but must remind all of our members that we cannot allow our lists (which currently have almost 3,000 members) to be filled with what amounts to Unsolicited Commercial Email which is what is commonly called SPAM. We have members who operate local businesses and are not permitted to advertise their restaurants, Care Package services and such on our lists. It is grossly unfair to them, if other members are permitted to endorse local businesses in competition to them. If each of our members sent just one such message ONCE per semester, you would all find 16 of them in your inbox every day (365) and our server would have to publish 18 Million extra messages in a year's time. That's a lot of junk email for a system which already has volume heavy enough to be a bother to some of our members. Too much mail will cause members to leave. Without members, USNA-Net isn't much good. Is it? We all have an obligation to read and abide by our Rules of Operation in everything we do on these lists to keep them the valuable resource that you know them to be. Too many messages about things which are not part of our Mission will only cause us to lose focus and ultimately fail our members when they need us the most. Thank you for your cooperation.

Today marks the end of the third week of Plebe Summer and the Countdown Clock shows just 21 Days (three weeks) to Plebe Parent Weekend. A large number of our members will be attending Summer Picnics over the next two weekends hosted by their local Parents Club for Plebe Parents before they go off to PPW. We would like to remind all of our members to be sure to tell all of the other parents who attend about USNA-Net at www.USNA.org. We like to think that USNA-Net has made a positive impact on each of our members. From giving advice to Firstie Parents about how to prepare for Firstie Parents' Weekend or Commissioning Week all the way down to holding the virtual hand of a few moms who needed an understanding parent to lean upon during Plebe Summer. You all know just how much information and support you've garnered from reading your email. But the thing is, we can't help parents who aren't members! Over the next couple of weeks, each of you will come in contact with another parent who could use our help but doesn't even know about USNA-Net. Maybe they even visited our web site but never took the time to subscribe. Take the time to tell them just how much your membership has helped you individually and how much information and advice they've missed in the past few months because they aren't members of our lists. Give them the web address (www.USNA.org) and tell them to sign up as soon as they get to a computer. They truly won't be sorry. As for the volume of mail that comes (especially on USNA-Plebe), this will slow down once the AC year begins and parents have more access to their Mids. With phones in all the rooms, email and Instant Messenger (IM) there will be a significant drop in the amount of mail we get on the lists. In the meantime, if volume is really an issue, they can always subscribe to the Digest Version of any of our lists. It's the same exact content but sent in one or two large messages each day during the summer and only once every second or third day when volume drops off after Reform. But most importantly, make sure they subscribe! Don't let them make excuses. Don't let them just listen and nod in agreement. Make sure they actually go to the web site and Click on the "Subscribe" link. Filling out the form is easy and you and I both know they won't be sorry. Without YOU to spread the word though, we have no way of reaching these parents and no way of helping them. We really need YOU to recruit new members for us. We even have Business Cards on the web site to print out and pass along so these other parents won't forget about us. (Main Page - scroll down to "Please help us to help other parents... Click here to find out how." in the center near the bottom of the page.) You have all the tools and tons of incentive. What better time than now? Go Navy...

These two exciting performances, both presented at 7:30 P.M. in the Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts, 801 Chase St., Annapolis, will focus on the talents of Naval Academy Band members, past and present. On Tuesday evening, July 22nd, the Concert Band will perform a mixed program of marches, overtures, and popular favorites. In addition to the many alumni instrumentalists in the ensemble, seven past leaders will be on hand to conduct some of their favorite pieces, Chief Musician John Fisher will be the featured vocalist, and retired Master Chief Gary Wolfe will narrate. The evenings selections include the 3rd movement from "La Fiesta Mexicana," "March from Symphonic Metamorphosis," "Swanee," and "Francis Albert," a medley of Frank Sinatra favorites. Other highlights of the evening will be "TV Twosomes," a tongue in cheek look at some of televisions most famous teams, and an all-alumni jazz ensemble presenting the swinging sounds of the big band era. On Thursday evening, July 24th, "Electric Brigade" will host a reunion concert featuring past members of the Naval Academy Band's contemporary music ensembles. This performance begins with "Tidal Wave," the first Navy rock band to tour the U.S., and continues with five distinct versions of "Electric Brigade." Long time fans will recognize the voices of Gayle Thompson-Steele, the Naval Academy Band's "First Lady of Song," as well as Larry Shirk, Randy Pendleton, Joel Lewis, and John Fisher. Selections for the evening will include hits by "Chicago," Lou Rawls, "The Doobie Brothers," Gloria Gaynor, "Tower of Power," "Miami Sound Machine," and many more. This first ever event promises to be an exciting evening. These two concerts are attracting musicians to Annapolis from across our nation for the chance to make great music with old comrades. The United States Naval Academy Band's reputation for musical excellence has been built on the talent and hard work of hundreds of band members past and present. Don't miss this rare opportunity to see these gifted veterans. All Naval Academy Band concerts are free of charge and open to the public with no tickets required.

THIS IS OFFICIAL INFORMATION FROM THE 4TH CLASS REGIMENTAL OFFICE. Please read carefully. There has been discussion about helping out a plebe whose parents cannot attend PPW by inviting them along with you - to your hotel room, out to dinner, etc. You have to be very careful. The rule is that plebes cannot ride in cars unless the car is driven by their parents, a guardian, an approved Academy staff member or sponsor, or in some unique situations, a Firstie. The plebes will all be advised of this rule. And will be held accountable to it. What does that mean to you and your attempt to help ease the isolation of your plebe's roommate whose parents will not be there? Here's the skinny. A plebe can request a chit from his/her Company Officer to be driven in your car. What this means is s/he will have to know in advance so that the chit can be applied for. So, you need to make your son or daughter aware that - if they want to - they can invite someone whose parents will not be there along with you. Then remind them that the plebe MUST get the chit approved so that s/he can join you. This information will be added to the Academy Plebe Summer page very soon.

To all... Well, what can I say? It's that time of year again. The grass is green. Plebes are in bloom and we have a host of new members in our group. Over 700 new Plebe parents have joined USNA-Net so far. And... SOME OF YOU ARE INFECTED WITH A COMPUTER V1RUS !!! You didn't get it from USNA-Net but your computer is trying hard, every time you turn it on, to spread the virus to everyone in YOUR address book, from your friends and relatives to your minister. Even to our lists. It sent out copies of itself to EVERYONE in your address book this morning when you turned it on. It dialed up or connected to the Internet and then (in just a few seconds) sent itself to every address in your address book. The only way to stop the spread of these viruses is to buy and install Antivirus software like Norton or McAffee. It's relatively inexpensive compared to the damage these viruses WILL do to your computer if left unchecked. You see, viruses don't destroy your computer immediately. Instead they hibernate, all the while, spreading themselves to your friends in your address book. Then, after they've done their damage, they trash your computer leaving you with hundreds of dollars in repair bills or a computer which is not worth fixing. Don't say, it couldn't possibly be me. Not true. Sometimes a virus will infect even the most careful user. Even if you're careful, are you at the computer 24/7? Maybe your kids or spouse don't realize the potential for harm and open an infected email. What about those pictures that came from Aunt Fannie last week. Did you or someone else in your family open the attachment without thinking? They might have been pictures. They could have been a virus instead. THE ONLY WAY TO BE SAFE IS TO HAVE CURRENT AV SOFTWARE INSTALLED. If you installed AV software a year or two ago and you haven't updated it since, you're just as much at risk as someone without it at all. Some of you saw an example of a virus attack on our Plebe and Sports list this morning. NO VIRUSES WERE TRANSMITTED TO YOU by our server. But they tried! We automatically strip all attachments from our mail. It's via attachments that MOST viruses attack. The worst thing about the latest series of viruses is that they FAKE the return address which they randomly select from the infected computer's address book as well. Soooooo... It looks like the virus is coming from someone you know. AND that makes it impossible to really tell where it came from, so we can't write to just that person and get the problem fixed. It is the responsibility of every member of USNA-Net to be protected by current Antivirus software. Because without AV software, it's not a matter of IF you get infected. It's only a matter of WHEN you will get it and how bad (aka expensive) the damage will be. Be safe. Get it and install it NOW, before your infected computer send your virus to your Mid and kills their computer as well. It happens every year. Please head this appeal. We just about had this problem licked in the Spring. Now, a day doesn't go by that I don't receive at least three or four attempts to infect my computer because I'm in sooooooo many of your address books. Someone is infected. The only way you have of knowing if it's you is to run antivirus software and make sure it's not YOU!!! Go Navy Beat Viruses.

Dear friends and fellow USNA-Net members... Beginning today, USNA-Net is proud to announce the opening of a new department within our ON-LINE STORE. We now offer Custom USNA-Net Logo Apparel We offer only the finest quality, Name Brand items from such manufacturers as Jockey, Munsingwear, Outer Banks and Nautica in both Men's and Women's styles in several different "Academy" Colors and in sizes from 2S to 4XL. These sportswear items may be ordered with any of a wide selection of high quality, embroidered Logos including USNA '07, USNA MOM, USNA DAD, USNA SPONSOR and GO NAVY - BEAT ARMY in several different styles. All you have to do is pick the item and specify which logo you wish to have embroidered on it. Don't see a logo that you'd like to have? Just drop us a note telling us what you had in mind and we can provide it for you. To visit the On-Line Store simply go to our web site at www.USNA.org and Click on the On-Line Store graphic in the middle of the main page. You'll find our store has a totally new look and we hope that you will find our quality and prices very much to your liking. We've tried hard to select items which not only offer the finest quality but which are priced at affordable prices to be more than competitive with other sources for such things. Best of all, the Custom Logos offered on these items are available nowhere else. For all too long, our members have been after us for USNA DAD and USNA SPONSOR items. Now your wish has come true. Better still, if your local Parents Club or Organization would like to order shirts or jackets with THEIR Club Logo on them, we will customize an embroidered logo just for your organization. AND... We have no minimum quantities or inventory requirements. If your club want 2 jackets or 50 shirts, all you have to do is let us know. Better yet... Are you ready for this? Custom items with your Club Logo on them can be offered at either a discount to your members or with a commission paid to your club to aid in your fund raising efforts. So when your group decides to all attend a Home Football Game or A/N together as a group, they can all wear sport shirts or jackets with your Parents Club Logo custom embroidered on them. Later in the Fall we will be offering additional items including sweaters, sweatshirts and heavier outerwear. All proceeds go directly to USNA-Net to supplement our operating costs for maintaining the web site and for hosting the 24 Parents' Club web sites which we do at no cost to all those local clubs. The commissions from these sales will help reduce our need for funds to cover our annual expenses. Remember that USNA-Net is operated totally by volunteers and no salaries are ever paid to either your Moderators or Advisors. We hope that you will find our newest On-Line Store feature to your liking and want to encourage each of you to place an order today. Our on-line ordering is totally secure using the highest level of data encryption available to protect your information. So give us a look. Drop by the web site and check out our selection. You'll be pleasantly surprised.
