Plebe Summer Day 10

It looks like today was a sailing day at USNA! No pictures of Steven, so we don't know if he did any sailing today, but it's nice to know that they are beginning to do other things than exercising.

Here are some pictures that show what the sailing would be like if he got to do that today. You'll notice, especially in the last picture, the expressions on the plebes' faces. There are some smiles! We were told at the parent orientation that the detailers are not allowed on the boats. So these times out on the water are a chance for them to learn and work together in a beautiful, low-stress environment.

We hope that whenever Steven goes sailing that he and his platoon can have a wonderful time!

It looks like M Company recently added another streamer to their guidon - the red one is titled "Parade" and the new, white one "Phase Two". We're really not too sure yet what that "Phase Two" means; however, in a recent letter Steven mentioned that they were preparing for an inspection (lots of s...
