NEW CHALLENGE

It's been awhile since I last issued a cadet challenge.  It's been even longer since a cadet successfully answered a cadet challenge.  Here we go:
  • For new seniors:  What is the announced name of the newest carrier in the United States Navy?  (This ship is being built now, it will not be commissioned for some time.)  The correct answer is "John F. Kennedy."  The Kennedy, which will be launched later in the decade, will carry be the second super carrier to bear the name of President John F. Kennedy.
  • For new juniors:  What is a "rabbit"?  (The quotation marks should tell you that the correct answer has nothing to do with small, furry creatures.)  No winner--although Samantha Migliori came close.
  • For new sophomores:  We are organized as a company now.  If we have a larger unit next year, we may organize as a battalion.  What is the next echelon up from a battalion?  (In other words, two or more battalions make up a ____________.)  Congratulations to Cadet Ferguson, who apparently will be repeating sophomore year.
  • For incoming freshman:  Nothing--yet!
The winner of each challenge will receive a candy bar.  Regulation size, not extra-large.  The challenge expires 0830 24 June 2011.  Good luck.
