That Dep Dant was my MLT company commander AND Naval Heritage prof.
For prospective Marine Officers: Do not try to fine Colonels at Mess night for wearing a boat cloak without knowing the story behind it. I found out the hard way that the Fuq's was given to him by the widow of one of the batt cmdrs at the Chosin. After being made to feel real small, he sent the fine back my way for being a stupid midshipman. In the end, he laughed it off and the major who put me up to it paid the fine.
for the uninitiated, a boat cloak is a $900 accessory to be worn with dress uniforms only. So seeing some "guy" wearing one is quite an occasion for poking fun.

Here's one.
Back when I was a mid and they still held pep rallies, I was the guy who shot the cannon off the roof of Bancroft. One week they asked me if I could set up a rappel point off the top so Fuque could rap off as a kick off for the pep rally.
We set up the points, run through it and do a few rappels. We get it to the point where all he has to do is put his harness on and go. When he shows up, he's super pumped about it, literally high five-ing us, gets his gear on and rap's off the side. He tells us he'd love to do it as a Saturday morning training with our company, which we had told him about as we were planning it in Halsey. As he's leaving he tells us to stop by his office so we can set it up.
Sooo, fast forward a few weeks later. Our company's training officer (who helped with the pep rally rappel) and I go to see if we can talk to him about joining us for the rappeling SMT. We go in his office, and the training officer asks him about it, reminding him of the rappel thing we had done together for the pep rally. Instead, he flips out, gets out of his chair from behind his desk, locks us both up (we're firsties, mind you) and starts berating and actually told us we were f-d up for trying to interfere with his weekend schedules. It's like he didn't even know who we were, and most people don't have a problem remembering me.
From that point, I purposefully tried to avoid anything to do with him. My opinion = bipolar.
Pretty accurate statement. Here's mine:
Ethics dinner in Alumni Hall for people who's essays were selected (I had another Colonel as a teacher, greatest guy). It's the end of the dinner and I'm hanging around as my other roommate wanted to talk to some officers (glee club guy, knew everyone) and as we're about to go I see said figure walking towards us. I barely have the chance to whisper "incoming" to my friend before we're intercepted. Conversation wasn't bad at all and he actually seemed like a good guy, however it felt like I was poking at a loaded rat trap.
Another story. Were you 06 or 07, because if you were 07 you got to hang around after the 06 graduation and clean up the halls. This wasn't a normal alpha strip-the-deck and wipe-the-surfaces type, this was take-a-spoon-to-the-far-corners-of-the-room-to-remove-any-type-of-dirt type. If you failed you had to stay an extra day AFTER graduation (making two days more) to help clean. But it gets better, during 2nd block summer school and right before the plebes arrive, the hall is looking its best over in 6th wing yet not good enough since he did a walk through and called everyone in those companies to go over and clean the entire wing. However, since it was summer school there were few people there so it ended being around 20 or so people who had to go through, strip, wax and otherwise fully clean 5 decks to his standards. Bipolar would be nice compared to what he has.

Even me, being the never-been-to-Annapolis, chief poker of fun at ringknockers, I think the NO BEAT ARMY is FVCKING GAY.

I like the fact that he (the new Supe) said that he comes from the fleet... Let's see, his last two tours were on a staff in Italy and a recruiting command. Yeah buddy - that's the fleet. REAL operational... He talks the talk, but he hasn't walked the walk. Sometimes it's nice to be a civilian because I can call it as I see it. I would caution any midshipman not to say the things I say...
This guy just needs to do a quick Lexus Nexus search on what control does to people...there are plenty of psychologists out there with a lot of abreviations after their names that could give this guy a million reasons why controling people more isn't going to help much...and the funny thing is I'm sure he thinks it's totally going to work.
Lexus Nexus? Wow, haven't heard that one in awhile. Been doing a lot of library research lately?
