Back in the day, not long after Supe graduated, some seniors got Navy's goat and got a 4-month slug with it, as I recall. Ran it through the Mess Hall in front of Navy soccer team a week before Army-Navy game.

And they got a letter of reprimand for it. Then they make videos like this glorifying an acting job. They should bring back the cadets that actually stole the goats (yep, more then one).

“In the military, they mostly divide themselves into four major categories: There are the ‘me-firsters,’ the ‘me-tooers,’ the ‘deadwood,’ and the ‘dedicated.” Robin Olds, Fighter Pilot: The Memoirs of Legendary Ace Robin Olds I must’ve read his daughters book a hundred times as a kid. These leaders remind me of him! He’d pull some awesome thing like this this to fire up the troops under him as well! It takes a new shape in our changing times but it’s the sentiments that count!
