I feel a little dirty for enjoying pictures of slippery, shirtless 19 year old boys quite so much.

How about these then...feel any dirtier?

"After two hours watching her son vie with other Naval Academy plebes to scale a greased, 21-foot obelisk in Thursday's Herndon Monument Climb, Lindi Reichel figured she still had time to visit the gift shop."


Ah yes. Yet another reason to go ROTC or OCS.:D
Ahhh yes, tradition, another reason to go to ROTC or OCS.

Yeah, it was good to see them use both MIDN Dickmann's Dixie Cup and Combo Cover. Apparently the class voted to use them; a few brought male Combo Covers, but they were confiscated. Took them a long time to get it up there, but they did it. It was fun to work the event and watch it from the outside for the first time.

Makes me so glad I went to college.

Why? Herndon was one of the highlights of Plebe year. It marked the end of the worst year there and a start of new freedoms. Herndon was awesome. I don't see how a bit of fun tradition makes you glad you went to a normal college. Now if you mentioned other parts, them I could see. But not herndon...

Real college is cool and everything but call me crazy, i'd rather be at USNA.

Having gone to ERAU, I could almost say the USNA is better. At least at USNA they don't bullshit you about having a social life and women.
