NAVAL ACADEMY SEA TRIALS TEST PLEBES TEAMWORK

The Naval Academy freshman class endured 14 continuous hours of rigorous physical and mental challenges during the Academys annual Sea Trials training exercise May 15 as part of the culmination of their freshman year. Sea Trials is modeled after the Marine Corps Crucible and the Navys Battle Stations recruit programs. It is a capstone event for the fourth class midshipmen and serves as a leadership challenge for the upper class who lead each event during the exercise. The daylong exercise began with a 2:30 a.m. wake-up, followed by an hour of physical training. Then the real work began.
