I never served, however, the Navy did try to recruit me out of High School, so I have to side with you on this one.

They’ll probably find some Joe Biden campaign literature and a Gordie Howe hockey card.

I hope they keep the Cancel Culture Club Zeros away from it.

Let’s just say, i have seen a lot of the world, mostly the water parts.

Will EPA be there to destroy it before it kills someone?

A sketch of Joe Biden as a toddler?

They have a Virtual Memorial Wall for the Naval Academy on the web. Covers every class from its inception. All middies who died in combat. Shows their photo,(at least once photography began) Their entry in The Lucky Bag (their yearbook name) and how they died.

Worth a look if you have some time on your hands.

I will take a look. Also navsource.org is a great site for naval vessals.

Unless it’s a bunch of old uniforms with lots of lace, a wig, and knee high stockings.

That would take up too much space. A uniform manual wouldn't though. Obviously this is for "dress" uniforms.

They will have to immediately destroy it, since they are likely to find racist references and definitely people using the wrong pronouns, but worse transgenders will not even be mentioned - along with the other alphabet communities.

Still worse, no references to any women attending West Point will set them over the edge, and they will be forces to burn the place down in a show of solidarity.

WHAT??? They haven’t found a reason to tear down the statue of Thaddeus Kosciuszko, Polish military engineer?

They aren’t looking hard enough. Either one of his ancestors disrespected somebody or one of his descendants had something to do with the Confederacy. Either way, that statue has to go!

“It probably contains top secret plans for an attack on England.”

Extremely doubtful because Trump’s gr-gr-gr-gr-grandfather took those plans to his private residence and kept them.

They had better keep Geraldo away or the capsule will turn out to be completely empty.

Maybe it will include a transcript of Helen Thomas interviewing the commander of West Point.

Kosciusko bugged TJeff about freeing his slaves, so he’s good— at least for now.

1845, thanks to George Bancroft, then Secretary of the Navy.

Modern West Point is unworthy to open it and they know it. Leave it for the future.

For some reason, I have the yearbooks 1965-1968.
