Supe Has Fine Navy Day

Buchanan House-

After a long thanksgiving weekend, Superintendent Rodney P. Rempt returned to the Naval Academy to have a "Fine Navy day." The Vice Admiral began his morning with scrambled eggs and bacon, paired with a cup of hot cofee. Other morning events included straightening out the office, taking off his trousers so his personal aide could iron them while he watched, and taking a refreshing cruise on the "Severn," the admiral's personal yacht. Feeling nostalgic, the Superintendent ordered a flogging of one his enlisted crew members to top off the day. When asked about his abuse at the will of the admiral, BM3 Slate commented, "It's all part of a fine Navy day."

Elsewhere on Naval Academy grounds, Marine Corps Colonel David Fuqueau had his own "Fine Marine Corps day." After his daily body shave and haircut, Colonel Fuqueau plowed through a grueling day of room inspections, more haircuts, and reminiscing about his time spent at the Naval Academy. "Ah those were the days. Blowing my bugle, I still remember the taste.. the sweet metallic saltiness. Mmmm and the free haircuts," recalled the former Drum and Bugle Corps member. The Deputy Commandant, following in the Superintendent's steps, finished his day with flogging. Colonel Fuqueau's son is still recovering from his injuries.
