Singles, pairs, whatever you have extra, these fellow members of our USNA-Net lists will buy them from you. Our Classified Ads have worked wonderfully this fall. We've successfully brought together over 65 Ticket Buyers with as many Sellers who sold over 200 tickets in the past two weeks. Please help those few families who still need tickets.

Help us to make it happen. Remember, when you're selling an extra ticket, it's usually next to your seat. Think how nice it will be to sit next to that fellow member that YOU helped to get in to see the game of the year. He or she might even buy you a hot dog out of pure gratitude. :>) GO NAVY!!!

HOUSTON BOWL - WE NEED YOUR HELP! This note is being sent to all alumni and midshipmen parents since we need your best effort in ensuring Navy sells its allotment of 13,000 tickets (or more) and getting those seats filled. Please cheer the Navy team on, and encourage as many as possible of your family, friends and others to be in Reliant Stadium. We will send you updates when our opponent is identified and as more details on specific programs and events are known. WE NEED YOUR HELP The Navy football team and coach Paul Johnson have delivered! They are 7-4 heading into the Army-Navy game on 6 December in Philadelphia and will play in the EV1.net Houston Bowl on 30 December in Houston, Texas. Our next CRITICAL milestone in continuing the resurgence of Navy football is ensuring Navy continues to be an attractive bowl participant. That will be accomplished by the sale of our allotment of 13,000 (or more) tickets to the EV1.net Houston Bowl. The "Bowl world" is watching us. Bowl sponsors want to see whether Navy can generate the universally required sale of its bowl tickets. Future bowl invitations will in large part be dependent on our showing in Houston. To count as a "Navy ticket sale" game tickets MUST BE BOUGHT THROUGH THE NAVAL ACADEMY ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION ticket office at www.navysports.com or 1-800-US4-NAVY. The face value of each ticket is $57, but to encourage Navy fan support, and accommodate our midshipmen and enlisted Sailors and Marines, the NAAA is offering a "military discount" with sideline tickets being $28.50 each. TRAVEL AND TOUR PACKAGES The Alumni Association has partnered with Anthony Travel, a leading Bowl travel provider, to offer travel and hotel packages for all interested Navy fans. Fore more information on package tours, hotel rooms or special events, call Anthony Travel at 1-800-736-6377 or visit www.usna.com and click on the blue button labeled "Houston Bowl game travel." IF YOU CAN'T ATTEND THE GAME ON DECEMBER 30th You can still make a very effective contribution to our football future by purchasing Houston Bowl tickets through the Naval Academy Athletic Association and donating the tickets back for the potential 2,000+ midshipmen who will travel to Houston and for active duty Navy and Marine Corps personnel and their families in the greater Houston area. The purchase price of your donated ticket(s) may be deductible. For example: a tax-deductible donation of $114.00 will buy four "military discount" tickets which you then donate back to the NAAA. You will provide the critical support needed for the long-term future of the Navy football program. You will also help spotlight the Brigade and enhance national awareness for the Naval Academy.

We received this from one of our members and wanted to pass it on to our entire membership. This way you will be getting the facts rather than working on hear say or rumors. From Joe Leidig, Commandant of Midshipmen... To The Brigade of Midshipmen, As you know, our Navy Football team will be playing in the Ev1.net Bowl game in Houston, Texas on TUES, 30 DEC against either Texas Tech or Missouri. The game is being held in Houston's Reliant Stadium, home of the Houston Texans and this year's Super Bowl. Kick-off for the Ev1.net Bowl is 1630 EST (1530 CST / Houston time). I am asking for your support of our football team. As of this afternoon, our cheerleaders and Drum & Bugle Corps have pledged their support to attend the game. I am asking every member of the Brigade to do the same -- take part of your Christmas Break and travel to Houston, Texas to cheer on YOUR Navy football team as they participate in a well-deserved bowl game. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!!! I also encourage you to bring your family, friends, parents and others to this great event. The more Navy fans we can muster, the better!! NAAA is also looking at possible activities for the midshipmen on 29 & 30 DEC, to include a pep rally on MON, 29 DEC and a pre-game pep rally on TUES 30 DEC. Also, the City of Houston is looking to offer reduced cost entrance to the Astro World amusement park as well as possible tours to NASA. More details to follow on these events. (1) To support midshipmen attendance at the game and to support the football team as a loud and spirited Brigade, reimbursement for your airfare (or POV mileage) and your game ticket will be provided. In return, you will be required to participate in a short march-on and sit together with the Brigade at the stadium. (A pre march-on formation will be held at 1200 CST, 30 Dec). This is a great opportunity for the Brigade to show the nation your outstanding spirit and enthusiasm. The Brigade seating section will be similar to a home football game, seating for all midshipmen. Your parents, family and friends will be sitting in a nearby section. Additional information: (2) In order to make this plan work, you must report to the MWF ticket office in person NLT close of business (1600) 12 December 2003 to notify MWF of your intentions to travel and attend the game and reserve your game ticket. You will be required to pay $29 when you sign up. You will be reimbursed for the cost of the ticket if you meet the above reimbursement requirements. This includes midshipmen who have already purchased their game tickets. (3) Save all receipts and airline itinerary for reimbursement. You will be required to file these items, with your claim, through MWF. (4) Your airfare costs can be reimbursed up to $350.00. Airfare that exceeds $350.00 will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Please see Laurie Wells in MWF before booking your flight if it will exceed $350.00. A current check of flights from major metropolitan areas show airline tickets at less than $350 roundtrip. (5) If you attend the game with other family or friends, they will not be allowed to sit with you. (6) If you POV to Houston, you will be reimbursed $0.36 per mile from your leave address, to the stadium and back to your leave address; but not to exceed $350. (7) Lodging/berthing is your responsibility but we are working to find Houston area alumni homes where you can stay. We are currently working with local Houston-area alumni who will make their homes available for you to stay. We expect to begin sign-ups after 08 December 2003. At this time, there are plenty of hotel rooms available close to Reliant Stadium. The team and task force hotel is the Renaissance Houston. Cost is $85 per night. Phone number is 713-850-2327 (Robin Moncrieffe, Sales Manager). Another local hotel close to the Stadium is the Hilton Houston Plaza. These are all-suite rooms and a 'Navy Fan' rate (cost TBD) will be provided. Phone number is 713-313-4655 (Brad Strittmatter, Sales Manager). Whatever hotel you call, inform the reservation clerk that you are a part of the Navy Football / Brigade of Midshipmen in support of the Ev1.net Bowl game. (8) Ground transportation to/from the airports or to/from Reliant Stadium will be your responsibility. If staying with local Houston-area alumni families, I recommend you make contact early with these 'sponsors' to facilitate pick-up times at the airport. Matching of available host families to midshipmen will occur on/after 08 DEC. Telephone and email information will be passed at this time. MWF/OPS will facilitate the match; you must make contact to finalize lodging with the host families. (9) Even though you are not on Movement order, you will be considered in a duty status from 1200, 30 December 2003 until the last note of Blue and Gold. As such, you may not consume alcohol 8 hours prior to the 1200 muster or until after the last note of Blue and Gold. (10) You are encouraged to plan ahead. Keep your chain of command informed of your leave address. If your leave address changes, notify your Company Officer. If your contact information changes, notify your Company Officer. If while in Houston you experience difficulties, notify the Task Force Commander. Cell phone and contact numbers will be provided. (11) Updates to the game day activities will be made available via the USNA homepage (www.usna.edu) and foul weather hotline (410) 293-0032. (12) If you have questions, contact the MWF Ticket office or LT Mike Morgan in the Commandant OPS Office. Both offices are located on 3-0.

Thought you would like to see just how serious the Academy is to get as many Mids to the Houston Bowl as they possibly can... Sandi -----Original Message------------- To the Brigade, The Midshipmen Store, the Naval Academy Gift Shop, the Drydock and Steerage Restaurants, the Officers' and Faculty Club, as well as all the activities within the NAF Program Division that support the Brigade of Midshipmen, are 110% behind our football team as they prepare for the EV1.net Houston Bowl. In order to celebrate our victory over Army, our winning of the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy, and our upcoming victory over Texas Tech, the following additional benefits are being offered for those Midshipmen attending the game in Houston: 1. In addition to reimbursement for your ticket ($29) and the cost of your airfare (up to $350), all Midshipmen who attend the game and march on will be eligible for a series of raffles leading up to the commencement of Christmas leave. When you sign up for the game at the Midshipmen Welfare Fund (MWF) office, you will automatically be entered for the raffles. The faster you sign up, the better chance you have of winning as drawings commence this week. The following is a list of the prizes: (a) Reimbursement for one night's lodging at the Houston Bowl not to exceed $100. If you are a winner, all you need do is submit your lodging receipt along with your other receipts to MWF for reimbursement. There will be multiple winners. (b) Flying home for Christmas? Here's your chance to have your airfare covered. If you are a winner, just bring a copy of your ticket to the MWF office, and we will refund the full cost of a round trip ticket home and back to Annapolis, no questions asked. Driving? Save your lodging and gas receipts and get up to $300 cash back. Again, there will be multiple winners. (c) Midshipmen Store gift certificates ranging in value from $50 to $500. The more Midshipmen that sign up to support our team, the more gift certificates we will raffle off. (d) How about a $100 voucher from the Drydock or the Steerage? Depending on your appetite, it might feed you for a month. You got it, multiple winners. (e) A grand prize of one Spring Leave vacation package for two, to include air fare and lodging. Details on this phenomenal package to follow. One only, but it will be a good one. 2. Any Company with one-third or more of the Midshipmen from the company attending the game will receive a free all-you-can-eat pizza party at the Drydock Restaurant. The Company with the most Midshipmen attending the game will receive a free formal Dining In dinner compliments of the Officers' and Faculty Club. 3. The NAF Program Division, the Naval Academy Alumni Association, and the Naval Academy Athletic Association have teamed together to sponsor a fantastic pre-game tailgate party at Reliant Stadium on the day of the game. Each Midshipmen who attends the game and marches on in support of our team will be given up to four complimentary passes for this event. Look for more details in the upcoming days. Remember, you must sign up to attend the game through the MWF office to be eligible for these raffles. The NAF Program Division wants as many Midshipmen as possible to be part of this exciting sporting event. Let's show the entire country what it means when the Naval Academy goes to a bowl game. For those of you attending the game, good luck on the raffles. GO NAVY, BEAT TEXAS TECH ! ! ! !

Jill Montone of the USNA Alumni Association called this morning to have us put out the word that... Every Midshipman attending the Houston Bowl game will get THREE complimentary tickets to the USNA AA Tailgate, one for the Mid and two additional tickets to be used as the Mid sees fit. So Mom and Dad can eat for free as well. These tickets otherwise cost $30 each. We will have details on how the Mids may obtain the complimentary tickets in the next day or so. Stay tuned.
