@Capt MJ's USNA Class of 2028 Appointment List Updated by Poster thread will generate considerable excitement and anticipation. This thread is positioned on her right side for takeoff. The intent is to keep the 20208 Appointment List from getting inundated with anything other than appointment...

Anyone know where I might find some sriracha around Annapolis or DELMARVA? The one from Huy Fong Foods with the rooster on the label. Low level light on DW's bottle about to illuminate. She loves the stuff. I'd like to surprise her on my return.

Plebes are climbing Herndon. Two streams on Youtube. FOX news and USNA feed. My bet is it'll take more than four hours so the west coast can catch it!

The USS Cooperstown (LCS 23) was commissioned on Saturday. It was not "christened" as the headliner reads in the link. One of my favorites in this group is Capt Ted Williams, a Marine Pilot. He was also the last man in major league baseball to have a batting average over .400. Some of you may...

American Legion: "March 29 is designated as National Vietnam War Veterans Day. This is a time to pay special tribute to the 9 million Americans who served during the Vietnam War era, to the 58,000 names memorialized on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., and to those who never...

@ProudDad2022's post on travel prompted responses on personal security. Having been stationed abroad a few times and having made many a port visit on my ship, I have seen and heard incidents of theft and scams. In Subic Bay when friends on ships came through, I'd take them into downtown Olongapo...

"Sunday in Seattle, Monday in Manila" so the saying goes. I am five hours into 2023 and want to wish all on SAF a very prosperous and Happy New Year. More importantly, I wish you all good health and the peace of mind to enjoy every day that follows. Cheers!!

It’s the season. My parents had Bing Crosby’s White Christmas album which we’d load up on our record player console every year. I liked listening to Mele Kalikimaka. Today would have been Dad’s birthday, his favorite was, I’ll Be Home for Christmas. Happy Birthday, Pops! Some of my favorites...

Space theme. Go Navy. Beat Army.

Now that the first appointment post has been made, I am doing a running rendezvous (formation flying speak) which tucks this thread in tight with @Capt MJ's USNA Class of 2027 Appointment List. The hope is to keep the ’27 Appointment list from getting clobbered with anything other than...

All Marines know of GySgt John Basilone. Now, so will the nation. On my drives from Northern California to San Diego, I figured I was about an hour from home when I passed John Basilone Road near Camp Pendleton. Little Italy, in , San Diego, has a small plaza honoring him. Semper Fi, GySgt...

Today is Flag Day and today reminds me of Rick Monday. Rick was a Marine and centerfielder for the Oakland A’s in the late 60’s. The Oakland Coliseum was just up the Nimitz freeway where I caught a couple of games. He eventually was traded. Rick Monday is remembered for this moment more than his...

Sea Trials are complete. Next up: Herndon. If the Herndon monument climb were a Super Bowl like event, Las Vegas bookies might me taking bets like this: Will the Class of 2025's time be faster than 2024’s (3:41:00)? Will a slowest time record of Class '95 be broken (4:05:17)? Will the placer...

A respectful salute and "thanks" to all Vietnam Veterans.

Today is International Women’s Day. In Italy it is known as “Feste della Donna”. There, the yellow mimosa flower is the traditional gift given to women. Here are some mimosas for you all to celebrate International Women’s Day.

About this time last year an OP started a thread for '25 from which I have purloined the idea. The OP wanted a venue where “… it would be fun to speculate while we wait, and most all, support each other!” Your thoughts and musings posted here will also help keep the USNA Class of 2026...
