Default Midshipmen ??

Midshipmen is a LOUSY mascot for the athletic teams of the USN Academy.
Buccaneers or Mutineers would be a far more interesting choice.
Courses in "Piracy on the High Seas" and How to GET AWAY WITH IT would be mandatory.
A "Lab" field course on "Practical Piracy" would be mandatory.
Mutineering 101 and Buccaneership 101 would also be required.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL
, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !

Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, and HAVOC !

Not bad, but I think the 'time honored' handles of "Swabbies" or "Squids" works well.

USAF '65-'69, US Army (FA) '73-'75.

I'd like to see the MAYHEM/FIASCO/MELEE/CHAOS/HAVOC that would be created by changing it to "Mutineers".
Ya just don't hear any stories about a good Mutiny lately, unlike RIOTING which we had plenty of in the last 18mos.

Air Force Falcons always beat the Mutineers and Grunts at Football.
They consistently have a REAL TEAM unlike the Navy and Army.
