MILITARY BALL NOW SCHEDULED FOR FRIDAY, 6 MAY

The military ball has been rescheduled for Friday, 6 May.  Tickets are still $38.00--a bargain at twice the price!  There's been a lot going on the past few days, but don't let it all get you down.  The military ball will either be a heck of a celebration or a real good farewell; either way you'll want to be there.  Future postings will address the rules of the mess in excruciating detail.

WOD:  Stagnant.  Stagnant is an adjective meaning motionless; stale; dull.  Example:  Mosquitoes commonly breed in ponds of stagnant water. 

Challenge:  Since my last challenge has yet to be beat, here's an easy one:  John Paul Jones is rightfully known as the Father of the Navy, despite this he never attained the rank of admiral in the American Navy.  In what navy did he attain the rank of admiral?  This challenge is open to any cadet whose last name does not begin with Ferguso.  The winner will enjoy a prize of two small rectangular pastries filled with a fruit paste of my choosing.
