Giving Back

During morning formation, the Academy presented a $5,000 donation to the Wounded Warrior Project. This money was raised by cadets on sea term through numerous events such as raffle tickets for Mayhem in Mayaguez and the auction held on board. A representative from Wounded Warrior was present this morning to receive the gift. This money will go a long way in helping our disabled veterans that are returning or have already returned home.

Well the week is finally over. For most of the week, the campus has been covered in a dense layer of fog. It was common to hear the fog signal from ships, one prolonged blast, in the canal. The use of Radar is essential for the ships to safely navigate the canal when visibility is as restricted as it clearly has been these past few days. As the fog lifted off the campus this morning, it presented a beautiful day with bright blue skies and finally a clear visualization of the canal and all of the traffic in it.

Next week will be Squad Leader interviews for the Petty Officers in Fifth Company.

Weather looks to be promising for the weekend. So get out there and enjoy it. I know I will.
