I guess because bruno mars showed up to perform for something in curlers and they just did a take off on that. Never figured the curler thing out. I guess in today’s world it’s “edgy” or something. There are certain places in just about all the services that being too tall can be an impediment. Pilots, sub service, tanks corps etc.
I have no idea who Bruno Mars is, but I liked the act. There was another video about 6 months ago (I think it was Navy — maybe Navy band) that was just fabulous. The neighbor who was denied admisson to Annapolis was in 1966, or ‘67. He was an outstanding football player. He went to West Point and (unfortunately) flunked out. He later came to a bad end, according to his sister, and was disinherited and shunned by his whole family. Drugs.
Speaking of organized groups doing unlikely things, have you see this? (Dance off between Seminarians)

PS I had 2 uncles who graduated from Annapolis — both lost in WWII, and my grandson is trying for a Commission this year.
