All you need is someone to press the "Awuuuga Awuuuga!" button and it's good to go.
Apparently there is a lot of training involved, and certainly the Awuuuuga button is an important part of that. However, said training doesn't really happen at the Naval Academy.
HotRack gonna weigh in here or what?
I once spent 18 days underwater. Once.

Chad Hennings wanted to fly fighters when he left the AFA. He ended up big enough that he didn't have room to operate the controls on the plane he wanted to fly.
They ended up qualifying him for A-10s which have a bigger cockpit.
Ran across this from the government shutdown in October. Not sure what training is going on there
Naval Academy Stops Paying Teachers, Encourages Tribal Knowledge
ANNAPOLIS, MD – The Naval Academy stopped paying its civilian instructors on Tuesday as a result of the government shutdown, and told students and military staff members to “just figure it out” and “watch Youtube or something.”
With the loss of more than half of the faculty, students and military instructors have responded with creative ways to continue education at the nation’s top-ranked public university. The acting Academic Dean, Col. Samir Fidelis, instituted a new curriculum that combines multiple courses into single courses.
“I call it Smashication,” he triumphantly reported. “Take two things, smash ‘em together and teach ‘em at the same time. Twice the info, half the resources…saves time, ‘Rah?”
Course offerings now include Physics of Western Civilization, Mid-Victorian Organic Chemistry, and Leadership and Ethics for the Middle Eastern Economist. However, classes like “Swimming for the Electrical Engineer ” and “Seamanship, Wrestling, and Navigation” have proven dangerous and costly.
So far, at least one Midshipman and an instructor suffered injuries while practicing single-leg takedowns in the wheel-house of a patrol craft.
Students have been gathering in classrooms as normal, but lectures normally led by civilian professors are now facilitated by unpaid guest speakers. In one electrical engineering class, a man who installed a semi-functional stereo system in his car narrowly beat out a guy who once licked a nine-volt battery to take the podium.
Tribal knowledge and trial and error have become the dominant modes of learning. On Wednesday, naval architecture students learned about hull shapes when two students drowned in the nearby Severn River while trying to cross it in an old refrigerator.
Still, school officials remain optimistic.
“The students and military faculty have really stepped up their game. I’m starting to think we just may have found an answer to our long term budget problems,” Fidelis stated.

That would still be a tight fit.:wow: I've been in an A-10 and it was pretty snug, Chad is a bit bigger than me.
Now a 3* on ESPN and ranked #17 JC CB.
Wait. I thought this staff couldn't recruit
Just saw the thread started going sinker - in more ways than one.
Yes, lots of training involved to become a bubblehead, but Canoe U grads certainly don't receive it during their time at the Boat School. We all get it at the same time when we report to Naval Nuclear Power School in Charleston, SC (was Orlando in my day).
Actual AH-OOGA training doesn't start for about a year after reporting to Power School. They have to make sure we will be good nukes before they give us the tactical keys.
My understanding is that Robinson put submarines as his top choice on his "dream sheet" for service selection and got it. Then after he took Navy to the tournament, the Navy knew it would be ridiculous to expect the 7 footer to serve on submarines and give up an NBA career, so they let him go to the Supply Corps and serve his commitment in the reserves.
Anyway, now that this is put to rest, back to the thread...
Welcome to the Black and Gold, Ahkello!
And the submarines part... And growing 7 inches in college.
If this wasn't a recruit thread, we'd be off!

Too late to redact?
technically, retract.
Edit from publication? Close enough
You know how the internet works! Once it's out there, you can never get it back!
Because some random internet poster who doesn't know one way or the other if he had those offers said so?
Isn't that who you just sourced for those offers? And TZI's brother works for USC recruiting
well, actually, this RIP has a legit claim to knowing about the situation iirc.
You do know it's not a good idea to reject all data that doesn't agree with your preferred conclusion, right?
Great prizefighter name.
And I think he's going to be special - smart, fast and long is what we desperately need in the defense.
