We bring you the stories and happenings at the Naval Academy and the Naval Academy Alumni Association and Foundation (AA&F). We go full hockey Spittin Chicklets this week with a great interview with the firsties from the USNA Club Hockey Team. We talk to the boys about their favorite NHL hockey teams, where Mids go out in DTA nowadays and the benefits of the physical mission. Most importantly, Sean, Pete and Porter talk about how central alumni support has been to their success and the success of the team. Bonus - Sean is an A&SP Foundation student, so we chat with him about his Prep School experience and how A&SP helped prepare him for a career beyond Annapolis. Chris and John also talk about Forrestal Lectures, ship visits to USNA and saying goodbye to Pete Medhurst. And next week is Ship Selection on the yard. We do a little preview. Give a listen. Beat Army...always.
