March On | The Mid's Watch
https://midswatch.wordpress.com/2010/05/23/march-on
About The Mid’s Watch. May 23, 2010. Posted by midswatch in Home. Ninety-five days down. Five to go. Memory 96/100:. The night before the games, plebes would do “spirit missions,” and they’d post signs along the route, such as “10th Company says CRUSH Rutgers! After that we’d turn around to face the home team. At that point, the crowd stands up and cheers loudly. We yell back, “N-A-V-Y! 8221; Then we rush to the stands, and the game starts shortly after (F-18 fly overs were always a special treat.).

Parades | The Mid's Watch

About The Mid’s Watch. May 24, 2010. Posted by midswatch in Home. Ninety-six days down. Four to go. Memory 97/100:. It’s not uncommon for a mid to pass out during a parade, especially during commissioning week festivities (late parties the night before combined with standing at attention for an hour is a potent mix.) We used to fix bayonets on our rifles, but I think the passing out problem caused safety issues. No comments yet — be the first. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

About The Mid’s Watch. May 28, 2010. Posted by midswatch in Home. Ninety-nine days down. One to go. Memory 100/100:. I remember the night before Induction Day. My family moved from Oregon to Annapolis a few days before I-Day. My dad got a job working out of Beltsville, Maryland before I received my appointment to the academy (I make sure to tell this so people don’t think my parents followed me to Annapolis.) So the house was extremely bare. He was also a major contributor to me joining the military....

About The Mid’s Watch. May 23, 2010. Posted by midswatch in Home. 1 comment so far. Ninety-four days down. Six to go. Memory 95/100:. I remember the first time my integrity was called into question. Dropping stuff is unbelievably common. Usually the detailers allow the plebes to pick up their stuff, but certain items are big no-no’s. Drop your. And you’ll most likely have to earn it back throughout the week. Same goes for rifles, locks, and canteens. He’ll see that I didn’t do it! May 22, 2010. The big g...

About The Mid’s Watch. May 26, 2010. Posted by midswatch in Home. Ninety-eight days down. Two to go. Memory 99/100:. My favorite event of the year. The one that rumbles the roads, closes the highway, and shocks a city. The Blue Angels! People pour into Annapolis, starting in the morning, in anticipation for the event. But I shouldn’t get ahead of myself. I’ll recall my first exposure. Today I was able to enjoy the show with many of my family. We had eighteen people total! Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Meet Gunny | The Mid's Watch

About The Mid’s Watch. May 25, 2010. Posted by midswatch in Home. Ninety-seven days down. Three to go. Memory 98/100:. Each company is run by a commissioned officer (generally a lieutenant or a Marine Corps captain,) and a senior enlisted leader. They are the authority of the company, in charge of the midshipman leadership. I greeted all of the detailers with a sharp sir or ma’am sandwich. They didn’t give me any trouble. Then I greeted another one, except he was wearing a red shirt. I probably would hav...

About The Mid’s Watch. March 31, 2010. Posted by midswatch in Special Events. Forty-one days down. Fifty-nine to go. Memory 42/100:. Eventually, I ruined the nightly ritual because I had too much homework to do. Rene also had a lot of World of Warcraft to play, so we called it even. Chris never complained, so I’m wondering if he even liked movie night. That, or he’s heartbroken. We plan on reinstating movie night again. I realize how little time we have left to hang out!
