@thejessman21 and whats the point of this? Frankly, its retarded and im shocked to see we waste part of our training time to get our troops to do something as worthless and silly as this.
@scrm1 What part did you not understand? It was very clear that he is giving the 5 minute call before formation, naming the officers of the watch for the day.
It's nice to see that upperclass now have the sense of humor to do things like this. In my company, my class was not even allowed to have a traditional 100 days til grad revenge night. Never in my entire plebe year did I see an upperclass doing those "plebe things."
I was a plebe in 1980, and as fast and loud as that was, I would have been told to start over if I was slurring my words like that. I assume there weren't a lot of special events in the Yard that day, lucky for him. Time, tide, and formation wait for no one, I am now shoving off, five minutes SIR.
Chow calls are made at 10 and 5 minutes before meal formations by the plebes. The point is not to be understood or to be a clock, but to teach how to continue with a mission while under stress. These chow calls are given six times a day, every day, 365. The Upperclassman did not lose a bet, but instead was showing the plebes how it could be done and he kicked their ass! Watch it again and see how much time elapsed between when he finished and the plebes at the end of passageway finished.
Airforce, we just used a clock to tell us when to go to chow...hmmmmm now that's a concept. A clock. It is rather boring though, it never made me laugh or cry, it just said, chow time. Silently.
Plebe chow call is normally done with a few upper classman yelling at them at the same time. People like Jimmy Carter, John McCain and Admiral Mike Mullen (Chairman of JCS) would have done this exact same thing as a freshman at the Naval Academy. It's meant to train the freshman to think clearly under pressure, an important skill to have for any military officer. You have to be in the military to understand it. Chair force can sit back and laugh at it with the rest of the civilians though.
lost a bet to a plebe ??? ... find a mean Marine Major with a perpetual "Romeo Alpha" and give this segundo permanent come-arounds for the remainder of the year ... lost a bet to a plebe indeed ! ... good thing it was only chow calling and not his ass [or is that not allowed anymore ?]
Ass is not allowed anymore -- there's a shock. The bets on the football game are standard and the brass seems fine with it. Plebes must bet on Navy -- the better Navy does, the more upperclass have to pay out on bets as with doing these chow calls. Most of the time the plebes bet to give themselves a few more privileges.
Are you people crazy? This is what you do at lunch? That guy sounded like the micro machine man. I don't think I was even awake at noon when I went to school. You guys had it rough! Still a cool school with some weird traditions, I just would not have survived all that stuff.
