Summary

U.S. Naval Academy (May. 18, 2004) A Midshipman "Plebe" takes cover during a simulated amphibious assault as part of Sea Trials. Squads of Midshipmen landed and proceeded to advance on the enemy with paint-ball-guns. Sea Trials is a "capstone" event that places fourth-class midshipmen in a physically and mentally demanding environment that instills in them the values of good leadership, teamwork, and perseverance. Sea Trials allows the fourth class to participate in a memorable and worthwhile event that teaches them much about their own abilities and limitations as well as the advantages of working as a team.
