Credo
"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones
"Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra"
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche
"A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke
“You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier

Sir, you won’t believe this, but that’s my company, 24th Company. We had to make a quick “spirit spot” as a result of a plebe losing a bet to an upperclass.
Yes I’m Coach Weiss, (and yes, I stuffed).
“Rudy” is my roomate. The rest are my fellow plebes.
Wow, I feel like an internet celebrity.
Well that is a small fricken’ world. Or a large lunatic asylum. Or both.
Wow.

carrier landings
you wimps get mattresses in your barracks?
bunch o’ nancy boys!
That “carrer landings” video was pretty cool. Here’s another great one.
I gotta ask though… do they not keep the kids busy enough over there?
When I see those videos all I can say is. Thank God that video camera technology came along later than earlier! Documented forever.
What say you Lex? Those grainy old still photos were bad enough in the old days..Which reminds me I think I burnt the negatives….
No cameras in the admin. I wonder. Is that rule still in effect?
