Besides being extraordinarily talented, the amount of dedication that those young ladies put into their team is astounding. They make some of the professional atheletic teams seem like loaf-abouts.
What has always struck a sour note in me when I watch that video is the apparent laxness of the Midshipmen attending the event. Maybe it is just that I have not noticed it over the intervening years, but at one time folks attending the service academies were not allowed out of barracks without all being in the same uniform of the day (Ok, logical exceptions for those going to PT instead of the lecture hall, etc.). Or maybe the service academies just never showed us the relaxed side of things in order to maintain an aura/mistique?
stay safe.
