I’ve been watching this for over 8 years and it still makes me dance in my seat 😊. Brings back great memories of a beautiful town for a former Midshipman’s Mom. This is my favorite video EVER.
Agree! ❤
I never get tired of watching this. It's so fun and puts me in a good mood every time! Love the brass overlay of "Anchors Away" near the end - that was inspired musicianship!
Living near Annapolis I get to see all the young midshipmen strolling around town in their spiffy white uniforms - and it just swells the heart of this former navy wife with pride when I see them! They are a such a credit to their nation!
My Blessed Stepfather was CG during WWII loved the academies especially those who sailed the 7 seas. He didn’t get his GED till in his 30s. He was a Panama Canal Pilot so proficient that shipping companies would ask for him by name. And if he was off, they would say, we will wait for Captain Junius(his first name) My Stepfather was so smart he wrote papers for the academies that today 40 plus years later are being used! And to think, he only finished the 7th grade!
Love it.
@ArthurianLegend335Thanks for correcting him! You beat me to it! My Dad was a 25-year vet at NWS Earle in Jersey. I used to live in Pensacola and I miss Fleet Week! Now living in Seattle and we have a huge Navy presence up here too!! And the first four words you learn at Annapolis are... "GO NAVY BEAT ARMY"!!!😎

I love it.
A big salute from a retired Navy Chief. Well done, folks.
My son in law is a retired Navy Senior Chief. Very proud of him
@@jacquelinegavin8331 I’m sure you are. Me too, give him this message for me. Tell him “I thank him for his service, sacrifice and selflessness.” 🌺🌺
As an old timer former Naval Officer and Naval Aviator, I think that was damn cool. I felt real pride. Good work fellas!
+Bob Scott -Thanks for your service Mr. Scott--this IS great !!!
+Bob Scott Thank you Sir, for your service. So nice to see our amazing Naval personnel have some fun! I am so proud of our US Navy, who work so hard, are so humble, and do it all for love of Country. BRAVO ZULU!
+Bob Scott you da man !! and I thank you for that !! Happy you're here to tell..
Hoowaa, Bob!

As an 'Almost Zoomie' (USAF Academy selectee) from 40+ years before this vid, all I have to say is 'Well Done, Squids!' Great presentation, and Stay True...
As a 25 year enlisted Marine Master Gunnery Sergeant, and someone who lived in "naptown" in my youth working at Chick and Ruth's Deli, this was done very tastefully. I am usually very hard on this type of thing where we disrespect our uniform, even if it is just an academy uniform, and I saw no one wearing the uniform improperly. Lastly for anyone who has ever served, knows at our Marine Corps ball, Navy ball, Chiefs ball and any other time we celebrate our heritage with our blues, whites, evening and mess dess, know we throw down like this behind closed doors.Semper Fidelis and go Navy beat Army
+Amature Mechanic Way to call it Master Guns! Happy Birthday to you!
A 25 year old gunny I don't think so.
+Glen Sheppard Enlisted for 25 years
What is that supposed to mean?
It means he was in the marines for 25years.
GO NAVY!!!!! LOVE IT! Wish my Uncle the Admiral and Dad a Commander where still alive to see this they would love it! I'm a NAVY BRAT and proud of it!
Awesome, Well done Mids. Thanks to the great town of Annapolis for encouraging and allowing this wonderful video to be filmed downtown. What a wonderful way to promote both the Great Town of Annapolis and USNA.
Shout Out to Trident Brass for coming in STRONG with "Anchors Away" at 3:00!
+qtrfoil that is great! didn't notice until I saw your comment
+qtrfoil It was a great mix, well done
+Qtrfoil If anyone wants the audio :P soundcloud.com/markclanton/naptown-funk
+Mark Clanton Mark, I repeat my comment from below: Awesome work. You guys have done a truly great thing, and we're really proud of you all!
+Mark Clanton Excellent work. You and Rylan Tuohy outdid yourselves.
Hey, you old fogies out there who express hate for this fun and contemporary take on midshipman life, get a life! I am a USNA grad and retired career officer, and I remember how the old folks used to disparage us when we blasted "I gotta get out of this place" out over T-court at lunch time with our huge speakers or how our morals and behavior were generally looked down on by the oldsters. Seems we came through the whole ordeal with honor, and I expect these young folks will too - SO BACK OFF!
+Salty Dawg We were still playing that song as wake up music when I was there from 05-09. Good times.
+Salty Dawg Excuse me...who expressed hate for this? Perhaps you could provide us with links to those expressions of hate.I won't hold my breath.Who is it, exactly that has to "back off"? I'm also a grad, and all I've seen are plaudits. Ok, we get it,you are even "cooler " than the rest of us. Hopefully it made you feel better to make attributions that you created out of thin air. Midlife crisis? No pun intended...get it "Mid"?
+Anthony Betz I dont know of any navy person proud of this video except for Academy grads.
+yourbuddykevin Speak for your damn self, thank you very much. I love the video.
+Goddess .FourWinds as do I! And I'm just a little bumpkin civilian. ;)
Fantastic video, would love to see more - it should be a recruiting video. Great job "Carry On".
Retired Navy Commander Kaki
Still watching and enjoying this in August 2024. At the end when the band is playing, I loved how they interspersed some of the Navy Fight Song in it. Proud 1972 grad.
🤩☺US Navy mid-shipmen and women are incredible warriors who are defending our nation RIGHT NOW!!! These sailors are American heroes defending FREEDOM on the HIGH SEA!!! Brillant combatants that are being tested in the Red Sea shooting gallery! They are in HARM's WAY and need our continued PRAYERS!!! SUPORT OUR NAVY!!! 🤩
Here's to Bruno Mars contacting you guys (and ladies, from here on, "guys" will be used in unisex connotation ol) with a big fat hell yeah lol. That was pretty awesome guys. Thank you for your service, and always enjoy your free time. You've earned it!
For 3 decades I worked in Baltimore TV. This is very high level, the music is excellent and the camaraderie is inspiring. Middies are portrayed as fun, real people who are clean living and honorable on their leave day. I give only kudos! excellent. Old fogies don't complain.
'51 didn't haven any such fun in 4 years! Love it.
I am a New Zealander and I love watching the American armed forces (Army, Navy and Air force) bring out such wonderful musical talent like this. And many more previous ones. Be nice if some of your armed forces came to New Zealand and performed like that (with approval from powers to be of course). Be good if they sold tickets or took donations and gave the profits for the returned services.
My Dad was a Pearl Harbor survivor. The USS Honolulu CL-48. This would have tickled him. I think it's great! 👍👍
Who's still watching in 2024?
I love this and have been watching it for years. I live close to Annapolis and love going there.
Me... But don't tell ~
I still love this.
web.facebook.com/dannythomas.bossert.3
Me!!!
Even if I weren't a Navy widow (hubby was a carrier-based fighter pilot) I would still think this is a FABULOUS video! FANTASTIC choreography. Great singing. Wonderful editing. Fabulous lyrics. TERRIFIC EVERYTHING!!! I can't stop watching it LOL.
Heck.... I have family who was mostly Army but this is like wow....
Longtime Maryland resident, been to Annapolis innumerable times: Great job Midshipmen! Thanks!
I love these spirit spots and this one is right up there with the best. Great job representing USNA, Maryland Ave and Annapolis. You make us proud. Go Navy!!!
It's so cool to see how viral this is becoming even after only a couple of days! Proud to say I was one of the first 10k to view it! Go Navy, Beat Army!
I no the navy and the army work together right. American strong 🇱🇷
+Clayton Hedin he's talking about football
+Punisher Airsoft Team They are basically equal man. They both are badass and have badass special forces, and the Navy is basically the Army on water with a diffrent rank system and different uniforms. (but still I love the navy, I have a cousin in Annopalis)
Grand daughter in navy, so proud of her!, you go girl.. thanks for protecting our country.. love u MUCH...
This is a highly styled production, done on "0" budget in four hours! WOW. Proud to be a Naval Academy mom, USNA Class of 2013!
+Mariann Davies 0 budget? i believe the taxpayers paid for this music video.
+yourbuddykevin Literally nobody paid for this music video...$0 means $0.
It's all midshipman-run," Tuohy, 22, told Navy Times in a Nov. 3 phone interview. "Every single person in front of and behind the camera was a midshipman, and our budget was a whopping $0."
+yourbuddykevin The taxpayers pay for midshipmen to board and study at the Naval Academy. What they do on their free time adds no additional burden beyond what the average government worker gets for paid time off. And all the equipment required to film, record and edit this video was easily a matter of someone in the group either possessing or having friends that possess it. You're talking about the average group of middle-class millenniels with social media-savvy and connections here, not the fossils like us that became drinking adults before the dawn of Facebook.
So who pays for the Government Vehicle or better yet the gas that goes in it? The tax payer. As a retired Marine these are horrible future leaders of our military as they are breaking government and navy rules regarding the vehicle.
I grew up in a Military School City and I live in one now too. Navy, Air Force, Army, Marines, and Space X. You’d be surprised at the prestigious Military Jobs. Engineers, Captains, Pilots (Carriers). You just don’t know what these Branches are capable of. Thank you Jesus Christ for my Military Service Forces. 💜🙏🇺🇸
I think it's wonderful and love it! There is nothing like being in Annapolis and the Midshipmen coming through town, males and females, looking fabulous in those Whites. I laughed at the Zoomies line, my husband is retired Air Force and that's the first time I ever heard that term! I also like how they call out San Diego, Norfolk and Chicago. Great job!
This song was played over the speaker system at last night's soccer game at USNA. Very motivating walking back from Mahan.
You guys are INCREDIBLE! God bless the US NAVY and God bless America!
That guy up front singing has style to die for, yo.
He’s my mom’s friends kid lol I know him his names liam
Please tell him that he is absolutely amazing!!!!
Please ask Liam to make more videos I could watch him for hours ❤️😊
Classic funk!!!! Rock out!!!! Lets hope no one got fried for having to much fun!
What great fun! Thank you for letting me see how much the United States Navy has changed since I was stationed in Annapolis. I'm so old that I just figured out Naptown means Annapolis. Great performances. Great production.
The talent, diversity and willingness to move forward makes me a proud '81 grad. Good work fellas and ladies!
I am sure Bruno Mars would be very proud of all of you! Good job by all..enjoyed watching this!
You go girl
My husband lived in Annapolis all of his life and I am so happy that I was able to join him there! Our daughter married one of these handsome men and they married in their beautiful Chapel! LOVE Annapolis and the USNA! THANK YOU for this GREAT Video!!!! TERRIFIC!!!
Annapolis is NAVY Town. My uncle graduated from the Naval Academy and retired as a Rear Admiral. I kinda sorta followed in his footsteps, joining the Navy in 1988 and retiring as a Master Chief Petty Officer in 2015.
Thanks Ryan! Go Navy, Beat Army! You have done such an awesome job at making all of us proud of our Navy kids and connections and have made us smile!
this was a treat for me and my husband. We had our first dates on those streets... and I am so glad they got rid of those silly caps for the women.....still married 30 years on and Annapolis was the best town for dating.
Oh you All make this Navy Mama Proud! Keep up the Fun! and as usual stay safe and NavyMama Hugs!!
#GoNavy
"We're beating Army tonight"
Awesome! LOVE THIS! Can and will watch it 1000 times. God Bless our US Navy, so nice to see them having fun. How hard they work, how humble they are, how so very proud of them so very much! Thank you so much for all you do, please know how much we appreciate it! BRAVO ZULU!
Thank you for your service ladies and men.
Nice touch with the anchors aweigh towards the end. Badass lol
CO: Ensign, you did a great job on that dance video. We're assigning you to a staff billet producing films for the Navy!
Ensign: But sir, I wanted to go to the fleet!
So many reasons to love the Mids...now I have one more. Great job! GO NAVY! BEAT ARMY!
This is AWESOME! I watch it over and over. I hope the other cities take them up on the challenge. The Zoomies should too! Nothing derogatory at all -- shows how proud they are of the uniform they wear. Love it. Go Navy!
Love this - never gets old! Two thumbs up to all involved in this production. Thank you Navy!
I freaking love this! Watch it all the time. I'm a sucker for those Navy whites!
I love Annapolis, and I love these funky Middies ... on liberty and having a “funky” time in Naptown!
I never tire of watching this video.💖✨💫
LMFAO MY DAD LOVED THIS AND HE USED TO BE IN THE NAVY SO YOU MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING RIGHT!
This is why I truly enjoyed my tour as a Company Officer at USNA 1999 - 2001. Go 15th Company! These kids are awesome!
This is great - but you've got to put the lyrics in the description! The rewording of the song is half the fun, and it's hard to understand them at some points in the video.
they have subtitles now
This is just fantastic! Not only did you put this amazing facility and gorgeous town in the spotlight, the production quality is stellar!
Really very well done. I'm a Canadian and it makes me proud to be a wanna be American. I'm glad to see that 99% of the comments are positive and I can't understand how anybody can see this in a negative manner. Hopefully Ellen will fly you guys and girls all in to perform on her show. Be proud, be safe.
Free, yes...only a couple million each to educate these wonderful folks. My son graduated in '98... Writing his own ticket.
Awesome video, makes me proud to live in Annapolis, work at the Academy, and be a part of these fine mids lives. GO NAVY!!!
my Navy daughter and I visited there in 2016!
Hah, "Marco, get the duty van" had me dying
+kffej101 "Margo": she's the Brigade Commander - the First Class (senior) Midshipman selected each semester as leader of all 4,000 other Mids. Which makes the whole thing even better!
one of the few times i wish i was an academy midn instead of a rotc midn
Looks like Youngster year is a whole lot more fun than I remember! Well Done !! Fred, Class of '75
BRAVO! FANTASTICO! EXCELLENT!! Thank you Men and women for this Fantastico video ! As well as for your service... Home of the Brave! Love y'all!
Wow! Rock in it.. Awesome video.. Prayers for you all and thank you and God bless.
It's funny, fresh, funky, entertaining and very fun to watch. I love a man in uniform who can dance!
I love it! this is a top notched production, done on "0" budget in four hours! WOW. Proud to be a Naval officers wife, USNA Class of 1976!
Please no bashing. These young men and women are well-deserved of respect and support from all of us. GO NAVY, BEAT ARMY!
Having benn accused of being a former " Yard Engine" ( I was Not!), I am always amazed and impressed with the Talent, Creativity and Ingenuity Of the Middies! Go Navy!
Loved it-Made me smile.You have a real talent with the camera Rylan- Excellent performance Midshipmen "Salute yourself"
I LOVE this video!!!! I re-play each morning to start my day!!!
What wonderful talented young men in our military academy we have. Makes me extra proud to be an American.
talented men and women.
+LowEarthOrbitPilot How very true! I'm so sorry that I neglected to notice that there were talented young women in that video, also. It's not that I'm anti women in our military. It's that I'm elderly and don't see as well any more. God bless all our young men and women serving in our military today. And I thank them for their service. And thank you for bringing this to my attention.
+Karen Latino: No worries [I giggled when I saw your post, because I had a feeling that was the case] :) ! They all did a great job! Great to see such wonderful support for all of our dedicated service members. God bless you, too :) !
As an Old and getting older one time Air force NCO thanks for supporting those kids and our people in harms way. yes I admire the young ladies who serve and I worked with them for some years their contributions are great for many reasons as are their Sacrifices . I kind of choke up about those young troops of every service I pray for them
I love videos like these she hard working solders can have fun and sing popular songs!
I keep coming back to watch again and again. LOVE IT! You all are ROCKIN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is definitely not the Naptown I remember.Class of 84 was way more funky, but this will do.Carry on... Go Navy! Beat Army!
So much Maryland pride right now.
AWESOME JOB GUYS!! SO PROUD TO LIVE IN ANNAPOLIS! YOU MAKE US ALL PROUD!
Officially in a good mood this morning. This is phenomenal!
And they beat #13 Memphis 45-20 today!
Anchors Aweigh from a retired naval reservist.
I love this and how it not only shows their love for the USNA, but their port. It raises awareness that there are people in those uniforms...people loving their service, community...people having fun in their job. Awesome. And I'm a USAF brat. I'm enjoying the types of videos that go viral. They show humanism.
My dad was proud to be in the class of '53 and I wish he had lived to see this. I grew up on Spa Creek in Naptown and spent lots of great times at USNA as Dad kept up w/ all sorts of Academy happenings & activities and, of course, we never missed a home football game. I think I was in college before I found out the last two words of the Star Spangled Banner weren't "BEAT ARMY!" I never get tired of this video, it really is why Naptown & the Academy are so great.........and, helm yeah, we BEAT ARMY this year! Maryland Avenue will never be the same. Rylan, I just read you will be leaving the Navy soon. I wish you all the best in your civilian endeavors and please come back to Annapolis when you can!
Never gets old !! Bruno Mars music is timeles❤
I may have been born at West Point when my Dad, a graduate, taught there, but even I can see this is Fabulous!
I am a member of Jewish War Veterans. This is wonderful.
I freakin LOVE you guys! NAVY 90 BEAT ARMY!!!!!
now that's military funding I can get behind!
+Susan B budget was $0 !
+Wendy Boice thats the point :D
+Wendy Boice Navy has a great AV department though. State of the art equipment accessible to Mids.
there a zero budget in the discriptions
Yes they have advanced equipment of that sort at Annapolis, some of these Mids will be working with it after graduation so they learn about it there. When you look at a service Academy degree it is one of the best Engineering degrees on earth these people will work on the cutting edge of tech applications in their Naval career
Perfect son, Go Navy!
Love these guys, such a great beat, and the dance, too
Wish my dad could have seen this---he was in the Navy and fought during WWII (Pacific theater) and Korea. He would have been so proud!
When this video was made, these Middies cemented their place in Naval History.
This is so amazing!!! Great work by the midshipmen :)
As a recovering naval officer and instructor at USNA I love the pride and spirit ! Go Navy!!
smart, brave,hot looking, sense of humor, great moves, creative & patriotic. thats the best of america mate!
I was just on national geographic video about narwhals, how'd I get here? not complaining tho.
funny; and bonus for the team free will profile pic
That's ok; I watch animal videos and end up watching something about popping pimples or pulling bugs out of someone's ear.
That was a great piece of artwork. Thanks to everyone, it made my day.
Visited the academy and found ourselves on this street! So fun!
Dad, brother, 2 uncles and 2 cousins...all Navy. Go Navy!
THANK YOU for your service to our country.
You guys make me proud to be an Annapolitan! Only time I've not minded the "Naptown" nickname ;) My dad is a USNA grad so it will always be "Crabtown" to me.
Awesome! Congratulations on the production. It's top notch.
I love this. Middies, Annapolis and Mars. Best combination ever.
It will be cool history if one of these Mids becomes President in 30 years!
He’s my LT at University of Hawai’i NROTC!!
The "new" face of Navy?... Don't believe me? Just watch!! Love it!
+Jenann Garner "salute myself I'm so pretty"....LOVE IT!
Zoomies don't hold a candle to the Navy.
My husband has 23 years service in the Navy. My dad was a SeaBee.You make us all proud.
