To all, I have been asked to remind you all of a V1RUS that is showing up in many Inboxes. It is a very official looking email that appears to come from Microsoft and says that it contains a patch. The following is directly from the Microsoft website: "From time to time malicious individuals circulate e-mails that purport to be a Microsoft Se curity Bulletin or Patch. Some of the emails direct the reader to download an executable file from a web site - while others include an executable file which contains a V1RUS. Customers who receive such an email should de lete it, and under no circumstances should they download or run the executable." Remember that there are insidious people out there who want nothing more than to infect YOUR computer with their version of a V1RUS. The best way to keep your computer safe is to install and keep updated a trusted Anti-V1RUS software program. If you learn only one "techie" thing from USNA-Net, let it be that you ALWAYS check to see if a V1RUS warning is real or a hoax before you act on it. PLEASE, always refer to our "Site Index" - look under "V" for V1RUS to find out the skinny on any warning you receive. You might also want to bookmark this website: http://www.snopes.com/ the Urban Legends Reference page. Whenever you get a story, news item, medical or political item in an email that tells you to send it along to everyone in your address book - or to all of your friends - please check to see if it is actually true before sending it on. Sending untrue stories to your friends is not as serious as passing along a V1RUS hoax, I grant you, but it still clutters up the Internet with what amounts to junk email. Go Navy!

When Sandi and I first created the web site for the NorthEast Ohio Naval Academy Parents Club back in 1997 (a full year before there even was a USNA-Net), we were sent a piece honoring US Veterans on Veterans' Day. It so impressed us that we made it a permanent part of the NEONAP.org web site and would like to invite all of you to take a moment today to stop by the site and read it. You will find it at... http://www.neonap.org/veteran.html or you can link to it under our list of Family Interest links in our main menu on the www.USNA-Net.org web site. Either way, it's well worth the minute it takes to read. Please feel free to share this link with anyone you know who might benefit from reading this tribute to Veterans everywhere. We try to remind our members each year of these words by Marine Corps Chaplain, Father Denis Edward O'Brien, as we honor our veterans who have given so much so that we might be free. To all who served, thank you.

The Naval Academy Parents' Club of Oregon Web Site which may be found at... www.USNA-PCOO.org While it is still a small site, it provides a list of club contacts for Parents of Midshipmen in the State of Oregon and we welcome everyone to take a quick look at what is now the 41st Parents' Club Web Site on the Internet. If you are located within the State of Oregon, the Club's Officers would like to encourage you to stop by the web site and perhaps consider joining your fellow Oregon Parents as club members. These are a wonderful group of folks who are anxious to meet and greet fellow parents of Oregon Midshipmen. The site becomes the 27th club web site hosted by USNA-Net at no cost to the club. If your club has a web site which it would like to move to our server, we urge you to contact USNA-Net to find out how easy it is to use our server as the home for your web site. After all, why pay for hosting and an annual domain registration or impose on a fellow member to bear the costs involved when we have a full service UNIX server which can host your domain for free? If your club doesn't yet have a web site, please consider setting one up for your club. For a map of all 41 club web sites, visit our USNA-Net web site and click on "Parents' Club Web Sites" in our main menu. You'll find loads of information on these sites, all dedicated to helping Parents of Midshipmen. Welcome Aboard, Oregon Parents !!!

DO NOT RESPOND TO THE PAYPAL MESSAGE ! It will direct you to visit a web site which asks for your name, address and CREDIT CARD information. THIS SITE IS A HOAX. It is not part of the PayPal organization and will send the collected information to con men and identity thieves. The virus then monitors your every move on your computer, finding files with personal information, credit card info and passwords and sending them to the same thieves. The virus message begins... "Dear PayPal member, We regret to inform you that your account is about to be expired in next five business days. To avoid suspension of your account you have to reactivate it by providing us with your personal information... " Both Norton and McAfee AntiVirus software will protect you but we know that several of our members are infected because we keep getting copies of this virus at both our personal and USNA-Net addresses. Our server is stopping the viruses from being sent to our membership but if you are operating without AV software or using out-dated AV software, you are HIGHLY at risk and will PROBABLY become infected. As a condition of membership in USNA-Net you MUST have current AV software installed on the computer you use to send and receive email to and from USNA-Net. As I said, several of our members are infected RIGHT NOW. If you don't have current AV software installed, it's probably you and each time you turn on your computer, it sends out copies of the virus to EVERYONE in your address book, from Aunt Martha to your Mid.

This is USNA-Net's sixth Thanksgiving since its inception in 1998. Sandi and I have a lot for which to be thankful. With membership of over 3,000 USNA Families, we are thankful for our organization's growth and the support of so many wonderful members over the years, some who have shared and moved on and others who will be with us for many years to come. As we sit at our Thanksgiving dinner today, we will be joining thousands of fellow parents in giving thanks for being able to be part of this remarkable Navy Family. Never in our wildest dreams in 1998 did we envision building such a wonderful and caring organization as USNA-Net has become... All because of the giving and selflessness that is the hallmark of being a USNA Family member. We give thanks for our members' support in meeting our needs each year in our annual fund drive and for the dedication and sacrifice of our Advisors who give so much of their time and effort in the day to day operations of USNA-Net. We give thanks for the thousands of member who have volunteered to be part of our Safe Harbor Program, rushing to the aid of Midshipmen around the world, day and night, who find themselves stranded or in need of assistance away from the Yard. But most of all, Sandi and I are thankful for the friendships we have made over these past six years. You never know how blessed you really are until you stop to realize that you have helped and touched the lives of so many over the years. So to all of you who have made us your friends, whether you write often or simply read what our group shares each day, we'd like to extend our warmest regards for a Blessed and Happy Thanksgiving. May your day be filled with love and happiness, surrounded by family and friends, today and every day.

For: Immediate Release Sent: November 28, 2003 Contact: Scott Strasemeier (410) 293-4517 x138 NAVAL ACADEMY ACCEPTS BID TO The EV1.net HOUSTON BOWL ANNAPOLIS, Md.-Naval Academy Director of Athletics Chet Gladchuk announced Friday that Navy has accepted an invitation to play in the EV1.net Houston Bowl against an opponent yet to be determined from the Big 12. The game will be played on Dec. 30 at Reliant Stadium in Houston and televised by ESPN. "Bringing our football team to the best host city in America is as good as it gets. Houston is a spectacular city for big time events," said Gladchuk. "I am certain those affiliated with Navy who visit for this prestigious bowl game will be immeasurably impressed with what Jerry Ippoliti and his bowl committee have created. I believe Navy fans will turn out by the thousands to enjoy the city's enthusiastic hospitality, while cheering on the best football team we've fielded in many years. The Navy, Marines, our alumni and fans are preparing to "invade" Houston with a winning spirit and a sincere sense of appreciation for being selected." "This is exciting news for our football program. I couldn't be happier for our players and coaching staff in getting this opportunity," said head football coach Paul Johnson. "These young men have earned this through their dedication in the weight room and on the practice field starting last winter and their unwavering faith that we would turn this program around. When we started the year, one of our goals was to make it to a bowl game and now that has been accomplished. We still have one major goal left and that is to beat Army and win the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy on Dec. 6." "We are pleased and excited to have one of our national military academies accept a bid to the EV1.net Houston Bowl," said Jerry Ippoliti, President and CEO of the EV1.net Houston Bowl. "Navy football brings to our bowl a nation-leading rushing team, a coach of the year candidate in Paul Johnson and the likely winner of the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy. The 2003 season has already been a season to remember for the Midshipmen as Navy has posted a 7-4 record heading into the Dec. 6 contest against West Point. A victory over the Black Knights would give the Mids eight wins and the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy, which is presented annually to the winner of football competition among the three major service academies and is named in honor of the President of the United States. Navy possesses one of the most potent offenses in the country, leading the nation in rushing (323.09), and is 24th in total offense (433 yards per game) and 28th in scoring offense (31.6 points per contest). The Mids have set school records for rushing yards (3,554 yards), average yards per rush (5.5), average rushing yards per game (323.1), rushing touchdowns (38), total offense (4,763 yards), average yards per game (433 yards per contest) and yards per play (6.2). The Mids are also just the second team in NCAA history to have four 1,000-yard career rushers on the same team. Quarterback Craig Candeto and fullback Kyle Eckel lead the offense. Candeto has rushed for 964 yards and 14 touchdowns, while throwing for 1,052 yards and seven touchdowns. Eckel has rushed for 1,026 yards and eight touchdowns. Although the offense gets most of the glory, the defense deserves its share of credit for Navy's turnaround, as well. Defensive coordinator Buddy Green's units one of the most improved in the country, led by the nation's fourth-ranked pass defense (157.4 yards per game). The Mids are 31st in the nation in total defense (347.91) and 41st in scoring defense (21.73). The defense is led by outside linebacker Eddie Carthan and safety Josh Smith. Carthan has recorded 64 tackles on the year and leads the Mids in tackles for a loss (11.5), sacks (5) and interceptions (4). Smith leads the team in tackles with 95, has picked off three passes and has recovered two fumbles. This will be Navy's 10th bowl game appearance and the Mids have posted a record of 4-4-1. Navy's last appearance in a bowl game was a memorable one as Navy rallied for 14 fourth-quarter points to upset California, 42-38, in the 1996 Jeep Eagle Aloha Bowl. This is the fourth year for a bowl game in Houston. It was called the galleryfurniture.com bowl in 2000 and 2001 and the Houston Bowl in 2002. Last year, Oklahoma State defeated Southern Miss, 33-23. Reliant Stadium, the home of the EV1.net Houston Bowl, is also home of the Houston Texas and is the site of the 2004 Super Bowl. Ticket information will be released Monday, but tickets will be available at the Naval Academy Ticket Office in Ricketts Hall or by calling 1-800-US4-NAVY. *** USNA-Net post by: "Sandi Zets" ================================================ Pass on our USNA-Net tradition to the next Class.
