PLEBES! I-Day. — Name? — Joe Civilian. — You ' re in Golf Company, Twenty-First Pla- toon. Are you ready? — Yes, sir! — Go right through those doors. Right through those doors, new members of the Class of 1991 found six weeks of grueling reg- imentation. Just as a hundred and forty-two classes had done before, ' 91 underwent a dramatic meta- morphosis from civilian to midshipman — by way of Plebe Summer. Before the Swearing-in Ceremony, all seemed well — left-face, right-face, wear your cover two fingers from the bridge of your nose. Not too bad. But, alas, after a long hot day, the plebes said go odbye to Mom and Dad and hello to . . . Plebe Halt! Why aren ' t you chopping?! Chopping??? Get those knees up. Move, move, move!!! When the next day began, the rest of Plebe Summer blurred into pools of sweat and hours of yelling. PEP, sports lectures (aaah, ten- nis — in an air-conditioned room), drill, uniform races. Commandant ' s time, personal time (personal what?), validation tests, and SIP ' s (S — In Pants) . . . they were long, long weeks for the Class of 1991. 24 Plebe Si

PLEBE DETAIL Plebe Summer . . . AGAIN! This time, upperclass midshipmen saw things from the other side. Charged with transforming ' 91 from long-haired civilians to clean-cut, sharp midshipmen, the Class of ' 88, as- sisted by a few of ' 89, at last put into practice what three years of leadership training had instilled in them. Secretary Webb resurrected the requirement for plebes to be braced at all times, thus ' 88 had to enforce something that they themselves did not have to do. Using Squad Leader Instruction Periods, each first class had the opportunity to offer his or her own philosophy on what it meant to be a midshipman and a naval officer. Everyone knew that plebe summer was intensely difficult for the new fourth class, but for the first and second class, the journey was just as treacherous, albeit in different aspects. Taps was at 2215 for the plebes; however, the firsties stayed awake a few more hours to evaluate the day and prepare for the next. Even so, reveille still went at 0500. The upperclass on plebe detail were totally responsible for at least thir- teen people. By summer ' s end, ' 91 was prepared to enter the Brigade as followers, and ' 88 was ready to lead. 10 26,
