<p>well things are not as broken as they may seem-
seems the alpha last nite came down harder on the 2C’s for any room beneath them that failed.
and the emphasis is still very much on training the 2C’s to take over, and the 3C’s to watch the plebes. The Brigade marches on.</p>
<p>Will share a funny story, however-
harks back to the “three phases” of USNA- plebe summer, plebe year, and everything else.!</p>
<p>So son calls.
S-“We had a brief today on class rings.”
M-“wow- already?”
S-“yeah- we order them in a few weeks.”
M-“wow!”
S-“can’t believe this is almost over.”
M-“don’t you have 2 more years to finish?”
S-“yeah, but the end is in sight.”
M-“well make sure you don’t lose sight of it then!”
S-“mom…”
:eek:</p>
<p>so my take on this is that there is probably some truth to the “plebe summer, plebe year and everything else”… guess all a matter of perspective! ;)</p>
