Navy doesn’t need much motivation (Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy too big for jet - deputy improvises)

Ummm - the Marine Corps commissions officers out of the Naval Academy. About 200/clas if I'm not mistaken... I know because some of my classmates went Corps. In addition, the Marines fall under the Secretary of the navy and is considered a NAVAL service. Thus NAVAL Academy and not NAVY Academy ;)
GO NAVY!

My daughter is a cadet at the Air Force Academy. Her boyfriend is a midshipman at Annapolis.
My wife flew up there today to see our daugther and watch the game. Grrrrr...I have to stay behind and work.
BTW, Lee Greenwood is scheduled to sing the national anthem and "Proud to be an American".

It's going to be a great time regardless of the game score...
BTW, just got off the phone with my wife and she just met my daughter up at Arnold Hall...the view of the moon was incredible, bright orange and atmosphered amplified to 10 times it's normal size....
That's truly beautiful country in C.S.

When Navy faces Air Force on Thursday night, the players know the game is little more than a distraction from their first priority: training to defend the country. With friends and family members serving overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan, including some who might never come home, it's hard not to have some perspective.

Go Navy! It's just as well that the MARINES don't don't have a team or neither of them would get it back Marines are part of the Navy. Many Naval Academy grads become Marine officers instead of Navy Officers. (A few Air Force and Military Academy grads do as well, although that's pretty unusual)

Even ROTC grads "cross over". A friend from High School, but also in college with me, was in Army ROTC, but when he couldn't qualify to fly helicopters, he chose to be commissioned in the USAF with an assignment as a navigator. He's now a retired Major, IIRC.

My daughter is a cadet at the Air Force Academy. Her boyfriend is a midshipman at Annapolis. That's a bad combination for coordinating duty stations.
Do they plan on spending much time together during the next 10 years?
