What's the deal with Morale?

Thanksigiving is near, and the plebes are beginning to countdown. Navy football is closing in on a third straight bowl game. The semester is almost over and morale is rising. Quite frankly, I'm depressed over this high morale.

Why? We all know that morale is really highest when it's lowest. Come on guys, high morale means that we go out and have fun, but low morale means bitter sarcasm and satire. Who wants life to be all good when you can get some good jokes instead? Earlier this year, when we couldn't do anything during study hour, had this new duty thing, and more inspections, humor was at an all-time high in the Brigade. I wait for that day again.

So while you all focus on the near future with Thanksgiving, Army-Navy, and Christmas, I look forward to the Dark Ages. Hopefully they'll have some more tricks up their sleeves to get morale where it belongs.
