V »i iMwmi. M For myself, cruising the Chesapeake with the ships of the Naval Academy Defense Force wasn ' t bad, mostly be- cause I never ended up smelling like a drum of diesel fuel, or had to battle the bay squalls with a broken radar, but I felt for those 79 ' ers! I also never had to worry about not finishing as E boat and having to take the final at journey ' s end. I really enjoyed Protramid too, and I could see that the guys had alot better time as well. They got to do many nifty things like picking ticks off their bodies and playing grunt in Quantico. Those marines did it up right, and I was amazed how they always got it to rain on the evening of the night attack each week. There was also Newport where they told ' 79 they would be treated like officers in every respect, and New London, where they finally did. Each stop had its own lures, parties and good times to sway a person to their side. After all, what could be more ap- pealing then a three day sub cruise, complete with movies and a continuous flow of ice cream! And then there was P-cola with its beaches, girls, suntans, and a chance to check out the friendly skies of Navy. They were very cooperative toward the Class of ' 79 and everyone was given a chance to fly both jets and helos, with of course the approval of mother nature. There were no holds barred, and they could take up just about any- thing that wasn ' t nailed down. One guy even tried to check out in a fancy blue one, and was quite taken when they in- formed him he was in the wrong hanger and had to fly tt If

Segundo year brought ' 79 many new respon- sibilities as they finally had bought into the Naval Academy, and were committed for the entire pro- gram. I saw alot of guys jump out in that summer, and felt my strength ebb every time one did. But for all that remained, I was renewed by their pro- fessionalism and dedication, and knew that they were the real Class of 1979. They got their first real shot at the helm in October when the Bus Drivers from Colorado came to town. ' 79 showed themselves well, and they were commended for it. They even picked up a victory on the foot of Bob Tata, which proved to be the only Service Academy victory for Navy that year, as ' 79 witnessed its only loss in football to Army. As June Week approached, each man awaited his chance to don for good that ring of gold. They had sweated long and hard, and finally their turn came.
