Hi I'm a Air Force Vet. do I see a Army - Navy rivlrary here?
-
Just good competitiveness!! ;D ;D
-
The foot ball game must be something here
-
All in good sport with a lot of mutual respect.
-
Agreed, and a fun time for most!
-
Congratulations, Navy!
(For a while there in the first quarter, I had real hope.)
-
Thanks, Richard. I left before the half for a hair-cut thinking it would be a tight one. The things I loved most about the occasion were the spirit, unity, and stature of our fine young men and women in uniform who are committed to excellence.
-
tracker, I also was hopeful in the first half. then Navy launched from the waist cat on the first drive of the second half which changed everything. a crisp salute to those fine men and women who go to the service academies. Tom
-
Excellent comradery, for sure.

Tom,
When you mentioned "waist cat" I had some instant flashbacks to 1965 off the coast from Seattle on the Hornet, CVS-12. It was a very cold, windy day and we were sitting on the aft end of the ship waiting to taxi forward to the catapults, I thought. Pointed down the angled deck, the Catapult Officer gave us a full power turn-up signal, followed by a launch signal. This was a shock to me as I had never done a free deck launch from a carrier deck. Being a good sailor, I released the brakes and started the take-off roll, very slowly at first. The ferocious wind sent us airborne very quickly, settling a bit below the deck after lift-off, but all was well and we turned eastward toward Seattle. This was an S-2, a twin-engine prop, Grumman aircraft that was built like a tank.
Sorry for the severe thread drift but the memory was riveting.

I thought Army might give Navy a good game yesterday but they lost. Army lost game and became bowl ineligible.
I hate when that happens.
-
I never thought otherwise

Ed. Nice tie tacs.
