Steven and the rest of M Company continue to hone their skills in some of the same evolutions we've seen so far but it's still good to see them thriving. This past week Steven's class had swimming, martial arts, damage control and of course more PEP (morning physical training) evolutions. It looks like Steven has had another visit to the barber shop - good to see they're concerned about keeping their hair short so they can continue to swim fast! M Company continues to look sharp with each parade - and from the picture galleries it's the result of several hours of parade practice. Steven's in the first full row, sixth one in.

The rigorous daily PEP and drilling continues, but there are other events that are more rewarding and fun to do with the platoon: the high ropes course and parades.

What a treat to see a close up of him We know for sure that this is one of his roommates. We didn't catch the name of his other roommate. Steven probably loved this event. He's always enjoyed ropes courses so we're hoping this was a great break for him. We have a feeling Steven will be part of MANY parades at USNA. Looks like M Company is off to a good start! Steven is in his 5th week of plebe summer, and it's hot out there for all of the midshipmen, including the detailers. We want everyone involved to finish this experience safely and strongly. Thank you for your support and prayers!
