What impresses me beyond words about Midshipman is how focused and mature they are at such a young age. These guys are a cut way above.
Visited the Naval Academy in 2001 while stationed on USS Wasp LHD 1. Sailed from Norfolk Naval station to Annapolis. Sat at anchor for a few days while the Midshipmen toured the ship
Please find vid on USMA during the 50s and 60s. Awesome history

So Public schoolboys at there worst, I thought hazing or the like was banned, but it’s the USA military so they are probably exempt, describing it as tradition or “character building” but in essence it’s just adult schoolboys bullying the “pleebes”, there is nothing “Senior” about that behaviour.
beware the allegations! this is from 1954
It’s the enforcement of the social/professional hierarchy, an integral part of society and military service. Those who cannot play the game or are low in social standing will always complain as the weak fear the strong.
Troll!
