<p>I have read very enlightening posts about the company forming the “family” for midshipmen, and also about the various ways in which ECs such as HFH can broaden a young person’s perspectives about people who have many fewer advantages than many mids have had growing up.</p>
<p>Here’s my question: is there any history of using a fraction of “company” time to provide service to the community, ala HFH? I have read of many instances of Fleet units helping out in diverse ways. Just wondering if this type of thing has happened in the past, or if it might not be a way to accomplish a lot of good for the mids and the community.</p>
