The Detailers are doing a great job! I realize that we would like them to be 'nicer', but the Plebes would not learn half as fast and the quality of the Midshipmen would be less. I listened to several of them and talked to many. They get up before the Plebes, go to bed after them, run farther, and deal with lots of last minute changes, as the weather changes and the construction schedules are delayed and keep them from areas that they had planned to use. I have heard the yelling at PEP, and the compassion as they encourage and help. It is not an easy job.

Here are todays photos along with some of yesterday. I do have more disks packed in the trunk of my car and will add those once I get home. That will be in a few days. Hope your Waldo is here.

Here are yesterday's edition of Nadine's Plebe chase. I have determined that
1. my camera does not do action shots too well.
2. Plebes never stand still unless at the postion of attention.

Intramurals started yesterday and I parked myself at one spot and just clicked away while they came in and out and up and down. They looked like they were having fun!
Hope you find yours.

More training on the yard. The days are HOT and HUMID. The Plebes are learning to march together.

ImageStation Training 7-7-03

As I was coming over to the office to upload some photos, I heard marching. So I headed around to the front of Bancroft. Coming down the walk from the parade ground/Alumni Hall area were Plebes. I set up to take some pictures. That's where most of today's shots came from. Marching back to Bancroft for dinner. Some had on work whites, some had cammy's and carried weapons. The ones in whites formed up in T Square and waited for the rest of the Plebes. I took more shots and started talking to a Youngster who had been to my area of the country last spring break. Seems he was the roommate of our Parents club president. So we talked and when I turned around to take more pictures, who should I see at a distance but my Plebe!. Too far for a picture, but close enough to make my heart rest easy.
They did accountability and then marched into Bancroft, King Hall bound for dinner. It was rather nice to see them marching in. Having the drum beating did help them stay in step and after only 5 days they looked great!

The other morning they did a run. I think it was 1 and 1/2 miles. They looked really good. I have been watching plebes learning to march and handle their weapons, and also got to hear and see a little bit of their self defense classes. Each morning the Plebes are out marching and doing PEP. I got a few runners the other day, but camera problems made it impossible to get but a few.
