CDR James Meinderlein Ms. Carol Kellner Sub Con ' minis;:; )ply: M SIXTH BATTALION The Sixth Battalion has seen an abundance of changes since our entrance into its ranks four years ago in 1981. There was an attitude that the Sixth Battalion Pink Panthers were a bit more easy going than the other five battalions in the way we took everyday life. This might have had something to do with the fact that we lived farthest from Main Office and closest to the gyms and gate to town. This natu- rally led some people to believe we took everything lightly also. It didn ' t take long for us to prove these people wrong. In our calm way, we consistently ex- celled in everything we undertook. Although we saw the end of a fine tradition-the end of the 8th Wing Players-, and the addition of a lot of administrative restrictions, nothing was going to get us down. The Pink Panthers took everything in stride and proved that excellence, hard work and fun go hand in hand. 30 Sixth Battalion !

But, when you think about it, all of the hurdles between July 7, 1981 and plebe graduation (Herndon), made climbing that slimy edifice a lot more rewarding. Now we could utter the famous Academy quotation, When I was a plebe ... We went home for the summer, We went on youngster cruise, And when we went away to sea Our girlfriends we did lose. Cruise, what a great time! If we had any illu- sions about being junior officers they were soon dashed. We soon found out we stood somewhere south of an E-1. Ah, the REAL Navy! And then Commodore Edney, He took the mids in hand. And sent us out on ACTRAMID Part of the Master Plan. And then we were segundoes, The system ' s favorite class, They taught us to bend over And take it up . . . and pass! One thing ' s certain, the more exposed you are to the rules, the more immune you be- come to them. Example: when we were told as youngsters that we had to be in uniform in the halls we nearly revolted. A year later, when second class CMOD was proposed we shrugged our shoulders and grumbled. We ' ll go to graduation, Throw our hats up in the air. And then we ' ll walk thru Bilger ' s gate As if we never cared! Only after this ceremony will we obtain the best relationship with USNA . . .
