Coumasmuc Orrmzx NAVAL Rzszavz Orncens Tummc Cours Unn' University of Virginia Charlottesville, Va. 22903 18 May 1985 Class of l985, You have devoted years of effort to your development as twenty young men and women being commissioned as this nation's finest Naval and Marine Corps officers. This book will help you remember a small part of that development... your time as midshipmen in the UVA Battalion. A r of those memories will probably be of three areas, each very important of the Service. large pa t to your training and to your future in and out Academia in the civilian university environment is perhaps the most noteworthy. Mr. Jefferson's University has given each of you one of the very finest educations available. Your dedication to academic excellence is already reflected in the intangibles of character and personality, and such tangibles as service selections. It will continue in importance throughout your lives. Cherish it and encourage those younger than you to excel academically. The friendships you developed over the past years should be nurtured - not just i l set on a shelf for some possible future use. You have learned something pass ve y from each new friend you have made here. Those in the Navy Unit, your fraternity l l t wns eo le ---all brothers, dorm mates, professors and instructors, and the oca o p p are important to you. Many of you will return to Charlottesville. CPerhaps one f ou will have the good fortune to return to our staffll These friendships 0 Y should always be kept alive and growing. Spirited friendly competition and physical conditioning are vitally important to k every officer's continued development. A strong body in conjunction with a een competitive mind almost certainly guarantees good health. The intramural sports ' ll d here football, basketball, shooting, swinming, running, and at which you exce e . sailing, should remain in your memories and as a part of your daily lives. the A st for knowledge, the nuturing of friendships, and good health, form que cornerstone of any successful leader's career. If developed, they will lead each of you to success in the years ahead. Con ratulations and best wishes for a long and fruitful career in the service of Q your country as Officers and Citizens. Sincerely, J. 0. BALLARD Captain, U. S. Navy
