Well, maybe it isn't Army-Navy but this is a big game for the cadets and mids at the CGA and MMA! The latest edition will be held this Saturday at the Coast Guard Academy at 1 p.m. The Cadets will be out in force to root on their Bears against the Mariners. Though both teams are having seasons they would rather forget, you can throw out the records in this one! Hope to see some of you at the game. I know jm will be there in spirit. I will be taking lots of pics for posting over the weekend. Good luck to both teams, no injuries please!

Awesome!!!!! Somebody has some photojournalist's talent! You were everywhere. Such great shots! #30 is awesome with the flag in the background. They are all awesome! Several are my favorites but one or two stand out. #42 makes me grin. Its the hat and the kid. HA! Love it Love it!

Gas for the busses to take KP Mids to CGA - 800.00
A hot dog at the Secretary's Cup - 6.00
Having a good Coastie pal to post pictures - PRICELESS!

THANKS!

Actually the hot dogs were only $1.50...unbelievable! The CPO's retiree club sponsors the concessions...very reasonable. But you're right the whole day was priceless...even tho the mascots were going at it(in fun...I think!)
