- The United States Naval Academy is a great place to visit. The noon meal formation is especially interesting. Bancroft Hall is the setting and the midshipmen are the stars. Be sure to attend the next time you're in Annapolis.

United States Naval Academy:
The United States Naval Academy (USNA, Annapolis, or simply Navy) is a federal service academy adjacent to Annapolis, Maryland. Established on 10 October 1845, under Secretary of the Navy George Bancroft, it is the second oldest of the United States' five service academies, and educates officers for commissioning primarily into the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps. The 338-acre (137 ha) campus is located on the former grounds of Fort Severn at the confluence of the Severn River and Chesapeake Bay in Anne Arundel County, 33 miles (53 km) east of Washington, D.C. and 26 miles (42 km) southeast of Baltimore. The entire campus (known to insiders as "the Yard") is a National Historic Landmark and home to many historic sites, buildings, and monuments. It replaced Philadelphia Naval Asylum, in Philadelphia, that served as the first United States Naval Academy from 1838 to 1845 when the Naval Academy formed in Annapolis.
Candidates for admission generally must both apply directly to the academy and receive a nomination, usually from a Member of Congress. Students are officers-in-training and are referred to as midshipmen. Tuition for midshipmen is fully funded by the Navy in exchange for an active duty service obligation upon graduation. Approximately 1,200 "plebes" (an abbreviation of the Ancient Roman word plebeian) enter the Academy each summer for the rigorous Plebe Summer. About 1,000 midshipmen graduate. Graduates are usually commissioned as ensigns in the Navy or second lieutenants in the Marine Corps, but a small number can also be cross-commissioned as officers in other U.S. services, and the services of allied nations. The United States Naval Academy has some of the highest paid graduates in the country according to starting salary. The academic program grants a bachelor of science degree with a curriculum that grades midshipmen's performance upon a broad academic program, military leadership performance, and mandatory participation in competitive athletics. Midshipmen are required to adhere to the academy's Honor Concept.

"A day at the Naval Academy is like a day on the farm. Every meal's a banquet! Every paycheck a fortune! Every formation a parade! I LOVE the Naval Academy!!"
Whoever said that, most obviously did NOT attend the U. S. Naval Academy 🙂
@@BobPerry First Sergeant Apone. Colonial Marine Corps!
@@zekeigtos7240 I rest my case.
One of my family members was a 1932 graduate of the US Naval Academy. Served on the USS Texas before WWII and he was the first commander of the USS Porter DD-800. He and his wife are interred at the USNA Columbarium. Thanks to all of you at the Academy for your service to our country. Anchors Aweigh
At 1:53 you see a midshipman with Naval Aircrewman wings, and an EAWS pin. Getting an appointment from the enlisted ranks is no easy feat.
A specific number of competitive appointments are allotted to enlisted personnel each year.
Amazing to watch on a sunny day with music!
It was fun. By the way folks check out Brianna at BriFitDance.com
Imagine going through this everyday just to eat lunch...then have to go to class that afternoon
Imagine going to war.
Been there, done that! No Tee-shirt required.
Imagine a college education -- paid in full. Just stand in a lunch formation.
@@williamturner1517 my college education was paid for, and my “lunchtime formation” was only 2min long
@@williamturner1517 😁👍
I speculate that Taiwan's naval academy transfered USNA's noon meal formation to it's one. Pretty similar, and I had performed it, stood in the middle of yard in the sunshine for many years, though. To be honest, I enjoyed it very much. Salute from Taiwanese veteran.
@ Jia . Greeting to the Nationalist. The proud and the free .
This doesn't get old. I've seen the USNA lunch formation in real time. It's amazing.
I agree.
No TOP Ramen everyday. Just got to love military tradition.
Nice!, I hope to see it live myself in the next months
It’s a beautiful place
CraigShipp.com yes!, I love it I have been there 20 years ago
Great. Thanks 🇺🇸🇺🇸
You’re welcome www.craigshipp.com/grandseiko
They look a lot more disciplined marching than we did in RTC Great Lakes. And my division was considered one of the better-behaved. I guess that's why they're midshipmen and we were all boots.
They are good!
Not always so disciplined. One time in the summer of 74 when marching up the curved ramp into Bancroft the guy next to me started boogieing to the music. We were toward the back of our platoon (3 columns wide). He forgot there were men behind us marching as well, including the platoon commander of the platoon behind us. My friend had to brace up for the rest of the day. I don't remember the exact words, but it started with "Hey Mister!"
They have years of practice, we had 2 months!
Some plebes stole one of the 1/C mattresses. Let's just say that didn't go over so well.
His name was omitted from the electronic kiosk of graduates and there's a snippet of his time at the academy so finally they put his name in
SEMPER FI‼️🍻
Awesome 👍 Dennis Franklin USNA class of 76
Thank you for your service.
Class of 2024 here I come, hopefully, maybe.
Good idea!
Class of 2025 here I come...
same man, hopefully
I’m coming!!
Tavaun Hinds did you get in
This fanfare is worth the wait when you know you get to eat the pasta at King Hall
Is it good?
Had the opportunity of seeing this frequently when I was stationed there.
It's fun!
Quite a ceremony for lunch! once inside" YA GOT 15 minutes!"
I think the children of the woman who was killed at the newspaper office are mids but I’m not sure (I saw them wearing the uniform in pictures of the funeral so I assumed they are attending). God bless them for serving this country after their mother was killed in an attack on our own soil. Thank you for your service 💜🇺🇸🙏💜
They are great folks for sure!
Two of Wendi's four children attended and Graduated USNA. Both had graduated prior to this video upload. (Wendi's father was also a graduate)
First song is the US Navy song and second song is the US Marine Corps song
Good info!
How about "Anchors Aweigh" and "The Marine Corps Hymn"
Been there, done that.
Impressive! How often do they do,this?
Everyday for lunch
@@charliekirk5155 everyday, with the band and everything?
@@jacobanderson8006 Yes
Do you guys have to do that everyday for lunch?
Yes, when the weather isn't too bad.
Normally yes unless you are on special detail or standing watch
Pretty much every day for three months solid but we dined like King s!!!!!!!!!👑🔱⚓
Bancroft hall Annapolis MD baby. The big Daddy of the Deep Blue!!
For 3months solid I never ate better in my life .
What are they serving at lunch? Lobster bisque and wagyu steaks? Then sign me up LOL. Joke aside, very dedicated group of young men and women serving our country. Thank you for your service
They do eat well! www.craigshipp.com/Bitcoin

Sorry, I don't know. Probably thousands.
My grandson looks cool.
They put on a great show!
You mean, "Second Mess," right?
John paul jones is buried there in bancroft hall
It’s not Lunch Formation !
It is noon meal formation .
In the old days people came from all over the U.S. as now but there were more regional difference than now .
The term for lunch in another part of the country was dinner or supper .
So noon meal was the solution and traditions die hard in the Navy !
Works for me! This is why the title says Noon Meal!
Yes you are correct but in comments people are saying lunch so I thought I would
Give the history !
I spotted myself
Cool! Thank you for your service!
Thank you for your service!
Works up an appetite, don't it. 🙂
All this for lunch?
A good lunch! Proof of work! www.craigshipp.com/Bitcoin
What if you weren’t really hungry that day?
If you don’t eat they pay you some Bitcoin www.craigshipp.com/Bitcoin
Are you serious ? A Cadet could die of starvation before he or she gets to have franks and beans but I love them all !
What could have been.
MaY dad was stationed there thats what they do been there 4 years
they do this everyday?
yep
Except for winter
They’re training future officers who may be required to go in harms way. It has a purpose…
Correct! www.craigshipp.com/Bitcoin
They serve the entire group in 12.5 min.
Interesting. How long do they have to eat?
@@MidAtlanticTV plebes about 10 min if they are lucky
Class of 2028, you mean
Anyone know why there is this only guy with white uniform on at the left hand side of the screen? Is he special?
Probably Officer of the Day? Went there as a visitor to see the Tomb of ADMIRAL JOHN PAUL JONES. HAD a couple biographies of him but was closed due to maintenance.Treated to great Navy chow. Most courteous member's of the military. Still want to visit. 1 brave sailor. Love the way PRESIDENT TEDDY ROOSEVELT brought him home. Full military honors 🎖. Thank you all. 3rd generation MEMBER er of THE UNITED STATES 🇺🇸 🇺🇲 MILITARY 🪖.
...think I'll just skip lunch today
Be a lot cooler if their march for Army-Navy was as sharp.
No way this is every day, it's gotta be a weekend thing or something.
I don't know about these days but when I shot this video they did this most days. The exception was really bad weather.
Cool it's everyday unless is the person pointed it is extremely bad weather.
John Paul Jones
Seems like no one gets it right. Its NOT "all present and accounted for." Its either "all present" or "accounted for." The difference? When you say "all present" that means everyone's in the platoon is in the formation. When you say "all accounted for" that means there are those who are absent from the formation but you know where they are. How can you say that they're all there but some are absent from the formation? That would indicate a false report.
Good point.
When I was there (70s), it was simply, "all present," even though there were some absent because of watch and such.
Maybe they're trying to cover all their bases? As in, "They are all here...oh, except for the ones who are not. But we know where they are, honest!"
Kind of like a lawyer saying, "each and every document" was timely filed.
Damn, what do they have to do to get a snack? 🤓
100 pushups! www.craigshipp.com/Bitcoin
Did you know what the visitor center they have a huge book of all the graduates but being the son of a graduate I can't look at that book unless my father is deceased the tour is conducted by graduate Marine corps OCS not a graduate of the naval academy an electronic kiosk at the visitor center
Don’t forget mornin and evening. Last time I was at USNA was to see my oldest brother graduate on 1970. He decided after graduating the military wasn’t for him. Turns out he was BiPolar. My folks covered this up but the marines tossed him on a medical. He’s been a loser ever since. 10 years of his life was pissed away.
I guess I would have joined US Armed forces & served the UNITED STATES proudly.... ...had I not been an INDIAN......😭😭😭😭
What!?
So, the poor band always has to eat last.
YEP!
Not as good as West Point. You're good Naval Academy, real good. But as long as West Point is around, you will always be second best.
All this nonsense and we have a hard time getting JOs qualified as decent OODs underway.
It's a sheer waste of time.
In what way?
@@ohnoimanidiot257 this much stuff for lunch everyday? In all black? I understand discipline, but cmon. In battle you don’t need this
@@aryavirsangwan6837 In battle you need it even more! Those future officers NEED to know what type of individuals they are dealing with, discipline and training really help win those battles!
The chicks still bug me tho. I wont lie.
I doubt they care what you think.
@Robert Shipley They have the same right to serve their country as you do. Same right to receive officer training as men. If you feel that strongly about the matter, apply for one of the academies.
@@MidAtlanticTV Women have not improved the Academy and women on ships have not improved the Navy. You might be okay with that because you think there is some societal benefit, but it does not benefit the defense of the nation.
Lovin’ the smooth brain energy
@@CnHPureCaneSugar1 Coming from someone, who clearly didn't serve. As a grad from two years ago and currently being a SWO, my last CO happened to be a woman and one of the best officers I have served under. Same goes for the enlisted women that I've worked with
Way too over the top
