Description
English: U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Md. (May 20, 2004) - Vice Adm. Rodney Rempt, Superintendent of the U.S. Naval Academy, cheers with Midshipman Fourth Class Philip Johnson following the Herndon Monument climb held at the U.S. Naval Academy. As part of their rite of passage, "Plebes" must scale the monument to remove a dixie-cup cover from the top and replace it with a Midshipman combination cover. Johnson held the honor of being the Midshipman to complete both tasks and was awarded a plaque displaying an Admiral's shoulder board. According to the legend, the Midshipman to place his cover on top of the monument during the event will become the classes first Admiral. The monument was smeared with 100lbs of lard and the Midshipmen were hosed down during the event that teaches them much about their own abilities and limitations, as well as the advantages of working as a team.
