Go Navy!

I was accepted to the Naval Academy, but there were no nominations available in my district, as my local congressman and a US Senator from my state had 5 non-graduating appointees at the Academy. The only available appointment with over 800 applicants (other US Senator) had the one available spot, secured by the brother of one of the senator’s staffers. I learned an important lesson - it’s who know, not what you know. The academy contacted me wanting me to go to a military prep school or undergraduate ROTC program and then re-apply, but with no guarantee of securing a nomination. I said thanks, but no thanks, so I went to my second choice college - Penn State, and never looked back.

I have a question

Why are some Navy Cadets allowed to wear white sweatshirts (or are they just fans)?

I really like the nattily dressed Cadets from Army and Navy. Their overcoats are exceptional.

My maternal grandparents met at the 1927 Army-Navy game played at the Polo Grounds. Talk about fate.
