Of course it can't be a real herndon thread without the video. The guy does what about 95% of male midshipmen think, and subsequently got hammered for it.


What am I supposed to be looking for on this?

Did I zone out somewhere?

Very sorry to say that I know this, but when the Supe's tent is empty during a game, it's because he and all his 3 star and above cronies are up in the sky box chowing down on free shrimp cocktail and imported beers.

040520-N-9693M-025 U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Md. (May 20, 2004) - Midshipman Fourth Class Philip Johnson places a Midshipman's combination cover on top of Herndon Monument while wearing the prized "Plebe" dixie-cup cover. The monument was smeared with 100lbs of lard as part of a rite of passage. "Plebes" must scale the monument to remove a dixie-cup cover from the top and replace it with a Midshipman combination cover. Johnson held the honor of being the Midshipman to complete both tasks and was awarded a plaque displaying an Admiral's shoulder board. The Midshipmen were also hosed down during the event that teaches them much about their own abilities and limitations as well as the advantages of working as a team.
