We USNA grads had to go see what Hollywood came up with for a movie about our school. Even though it was an awful film, we still had a fun time getting dressed up. We all went in our Academy-issued Blue and Gold Jogging suits (which didn't make an appearance in the movie).

During my winter break from school, I flew out to Pearl Harbor to spend Christmas and Hanukkah with Jo. It was really nice to share our first holiday together in paradise. Jo had duty on Christmas, so we celebrated it early and spent the 25th onboard the ship. I wore a Hawaiian T-shirt.
