<p>LOL!!! They speak Yiddish in GA??? !!!!! I thought it was a Brooklyn thing!!!</p>
<p>okay thanks!!.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz :)</p>
<p>Navy2010, I know you are kidding; at least, I hope so!
My grandma spoke Yiddish to my dad in Detroit, and my Nana spoke it to my mom in Perth Amboy...many, many Atlantans of that generation continue to speak it....the kids (my generation) only know a few words here and there...but we all know the roots. Sorry, it is NOT just a New York thing.</p>
<p>Kidding?? Me---- kid????? :rolleyes:</p>
<p>oye vey!!!!!!!!!!!! :confused:</p>
<p>Anyway, perth amboy is just about in brooklyn!!! ;)</p>
<p>Perhaps the lesson here might be that we should stick with English, which should be the common language to all those who are seeking appointment to the Naval Academy.</p>

And perhaps anybody who would post that meets the definition of the word "Meshuggina". Lighten up! One of the hallmarks of every officer I ever met worth a darn was the ability to laugh.</p>
<p>...some people will kvetch about anything...c'mon USNA69, schlep yourself to the sofa and chill.</p>
<p>Just my experience, Plebe Summer was a lot harder than Navy's boot camp. In boot camp, we didn't run more than 2.5 miles (and 1.5 miles was at our OWN pace). Plebe Summer was completely voluntary and I could've chosen to quit at any time - we were all notified of this before the program even started. Boot camp is something else - you can't just quit without an extreme hassle to go through, almost to the point in which it feels like you may as well just pass through. Perhaps some of it was psychological too - if I quit Plebe Summer, I could go back to the Fleet, live in my own apartment with my girlfriend, receive great pay once again and still have a great job. At 23 years old, that was ideal. In boot camp, I didn't have to worry about anything - just do what I'm told and keep a military bearing.</p>
<p>Now, I have no idea about how USMC boot camp compares. I have assumptions, but nothing solid. I'd let a Marine answer that one.</p>
