 Sea Trials started in spring in 1998 for the class of 2001. It is a 14-hour exercise that starts at 0-300 It's modeled after the Marine Corps crucible and the Navy battle stations training for recruits And ends at 1700 with closing ceremonies So essentially the warm-up phase kind of kind of give them a gut check before all sea trials starts Give them a taste of what they're gonna be experiencing for the next 15 hours Find some good motivation. Usually plumes are pretty motivated when they're here in bagpipes So it helps them to push through and make it for the upper class and it's the last step before hitting the fleet These guys will be commissioned come May 24, so they're less than 10 days away from being commissioned They put everything they learned in the four years at the Naval Academy to the work and it's through this event that they find out Where they stand as leaders for the plebs It's it's the beginning of the end for their plea beer They started with plebe summer and then they're gonna finish with her name a lot of these plebs will struggle and they Will find out through that struggle that they become better officers and better leaders in the fleet Right now my company they're PT and they're gonna go through a course and right now I have this ID strapped to my leg and they're gonna get pictures so that they can go through this box and put to Whatever in this box is together, right? They're gonna get a lock to unlock this They'll get the ID off my life Put the stuff back on See trials has been great It's been a lot of hard work and it's put a really good gauge on the physical mission at the academy And I think it's been it's been awesome. Yeah, I just got done with do a stick It was a it was a really good time I got in there and I beat my opponent so it was a lot of fun Go People think this is important probably because throughout see trials are doing everything as a team This this gives them the opportunity to work by themselves with just support And it shows them what their true characters like because everything comes out in the fight See trials has prepared me for the fleet. I think it's it's mainly a mental focus For me Having the mental capability you go through something like this is it's a really good thing and in the fleet. It's it's valuable It's valuable and it'll take you a far ways
