<p>nothing from here in mid mo :( KCdad...I'm convinced Missouri is one of the slowest states with mail?</p>
<p>I never found out what company I was in until I was taken to my room. So no rush.
Yuck, flying back annapolis tomorrow for summer school :(</p>
<p>From usna-parents.org:</p>

26 26 All Stars (also told, "none") 26th Civilian
27 Gamecocks (also, Fighting Gamecocks) The Herd
28 The Club, Fightin' 28
28th Company - Firsties are invited to play in the croquet match with St John's College. Mids wear their white uniforms, short blue jackets, look sharper than sharp. Townswomen come on 19th century long dresses, with parasols, and men in bowler hats and striped jackets. Picnics on the grass. Johnnies wear anything and everything.
29 29 Palms (unofficially, "War Pigs") Stand in Line 29
30 Dirty Thirty</p>
<p>D company, 8 platoon</p>
<p>Some of those have changed.</p>
<p>23rd used to be known as the Thundering Herd. 17 was Stalag 17.</p>
<p>Heh-heh..... I see Stand-In-Line 29 is still there. If the story is true, it's amazing how some things never go away. :D</p>
<p>I'll not spread rumors, though... ;)</p>
<p>thanks usna mom....what exactly is 'color company' and why would 4th company have the year from 'hell-o'? that's a little scary....</p>
<p>oh, and what's "Hello Night"? more importantly, when is it?</p>
<p>Color Company is the company that ranks highest among the others at the end of the year.</p>
<p>Unless I'm mistaken, "Hello Night" is the night the Brigade returns and "introduces" itself to the Plebes. Not fun as a Plebe. It wasn't called that in my day. It was simply "The return of the Brigade".</p>
<p>4th Company itself doesn't have a year from hell, the PLEBES do, and not just in 4th.</p>
<p>i've got to say that that list is WRONG. on practically every company, and that's not what they wear to the croquet match, its more like fiftie's country club attire. </p>
<p>don't be nervous about fourth being the color company. no one was shocked more than us. our 1st semester conduct offense list is the stuff of legend. we didn't excel at any one thing, but we were good at everything, (plus had pretty darn good grades). hang in there!</p>
<p>hello night is when you meet the upperclass in your company. remember indoc at nass? it's like that but with 80 people flaming and 40 youngsters just trying to say hi.</p>
<p>1 1st company shipmates (yes that's really it), they have mickey mouse at the helm on their patches).
1st Company - um, it's firsties that do it now i believe.
2 Deuces Wild, fighting joeys

4 Four Horsemen, (Hardcore Four, sarcastically)
5 the Rocks (the rock dude from fantastic four is their patch)
6 the JACKALOPES (very proud of this)
7 Civilian 7 (but not really anymore)
8 Eight Ball
9 their patch is a pirate
9th Company - responsible for painting Tecumseh in his motivational colors for all occasions
10 Tool Box Ten- pretty much joes, they wear their sdbs on cmod,(instead of blues like the rest of the briage).
11 Tiger Company
12 Twelfth-the Wolf Pack
13 Lucky 13-pretty much an irish-loving company.
13th Company - runs the football to the Army Navy game. 13th Company from West Point does the same.

28th Company - Firsties are invited to play in the croquet match with St John's College. Mids wear their white uniforms, short blue jackets, look sharper than sharp. Townswomen come on 19th century long dresses, with parasols, and men in bowler hats and striped jackets. Picnics on the grass. Johnnies wear anything and everything.

<p>Hmm...so do they continue the counting for each new company? (eg, A1 A2, B3 B4, C5 C6, D7 D8, E9 E10, F11 F12, G13 G14, H15 H16, etc.)</p>
<p>Color Company is now done per semester...don't know why they changed it!</p>
<p>Also, realize that liberty is now company dependent...the better your company does, the more liberty (like plebe weekends...cough, cough, i mean overnights) plebes get during 2nd semester (it isn't a whole lot).</p>
<p>Plebe Weekends = 1200 SAT until 1700 SUN</p>
<p>I might as well break out a saying that most of you will hear a lot over the next few weeks: "it pays to be a winner"</p>
<p>Hey, Wheelah44, what happened to Tiger Company being 23rd Company? At least thats what it was in "Plebe" by Hank Turowski. Anyone else out there read Plebe? And if so, is Tiger Company as hardcore as it is in the book? Just lookin to see if it was fact or fiction...</p>

<p>tridude87: We asked a few mids about this at our picnic (hardcore vs. not-so-hardcore companies). They said it really depended on who was leading/in charge of the company that year.</p>
