THIRTY- FIRST COMPANY 31st Company. A fraternity of men and yes, wonnen, living, growing, and experiencing the everyday pounding of tine Naval Academy. Will the class of 85, as they enter the fleet, step back and reflect on their moments at USNA? Yes, surely they will — and they will laugh. The bad times are rationalized or fade into the thick cobwebs of time. The funny times, the good times, will come back like a flood, raising smiles and thoughts from time to time, that are just as intense. But 31st Company is not just another fraternity or company gathering together for a good time. We are unique. Something at the Naval Academy, call it a coolness factor, an attitude ratio, or a unity coefficient, is a function of the distance to Main Office, divided by the distance to the academic buildings, times the distance to the water, playing fields, the gym. For 31, this factor is the number one. Just the right amount of cool, attitude, and unity. We have learned to compete, to win, and to excell not as individuals, but as a team. Team work and commitment along with the strong bonds of friendship and commaraderie are just a few of the lessons learned within the Company. Things like integrity and leadership aren ' t learned out of our textbooks, but here, in these halls, along with all the other things that make this a school of hard knocks. But the harder we are knocked, the closer we get. So as the Class of 85 leaves 31, it ' s not the end, but the beginning. Those we leave behind, and those that leave with us, will always be around. You can ' t forget people you live, eat and breath with for years which seem like centuries. It is not the event, but the emotion — the feeling in each of us that keeps the company sacred, what it is, that keeps it 31. LCDR Sherry T. Darling Sub Cor r 1. Don Alberto 17. Jim Peters 2.
