Powerhouse ... is Charlie Company Known on campus as POWERHOUSE, a sobriquet bestowed by graduating classes past, “C” Company is literally “on top” of MB,” up- stairs in the new dorm where the breeze is always coming in the windows, adjacent and accessible to Carlisle House, and boasting an unparalleled airport view. Prejudiced though he may be, a company member stated: “When one of the boys from ‘C’ Company walks across the campus, cadets stop and say to themselves, ‘I wish I could be in ‘C Company.’ ” JP Hill says, “We’re a proud group of guys, living as a family in the second story. We work together to accomplish the daily tasks we have to perform.” They are a proud, tight organization which Captain Ubaldo “Pu” Acosta leads and whose mem- bers eat, sleep, work, sweat, laugh and cry, shave, shower, and perform other varying functions, all in very close quarters. “C” excels in leadership and in fellowship, and, in the latter department, everyone puts out to succeed as a team. POWERHOUSE has pride.
