Okay, so let’s talk about my day messing around with this Naval Academy tennis thing. It all started pretty casually. I was just scrolling through stuff online, you know, the usual. Then, boom, I stumbled upon something about the Navy men’s tennis team’s schedule. I got curious. I mean, who doesn’t like a bit of sports, right?
So, I started digging. Turns out, they were kicking off their season with a couple of doubleheaders. Two matches against Penn, and they were playing at some place called Hamlin/Hecht. I went deeper into this rabbit hole, just clicking around and seeing what else I could find. I found the official schedule for their 2024-25 season. Seemed pretty packed, those guys are going to be busy!
Then things got a bit, well, official. I found myself looking at all these Navy documents. It was like I accidentally wandered into some restricted area online. They were all grouped by instruction, and there were these codes, Standard Subject Identification Codes. It was a whole system I didn’t know existed. There was even this plan for the Bureau of Naval Personnel, some kind of “Continuity of Operations” thing. It was marked “FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY.”
I’m not gonna lie, I felt like I was snooping, but it was kind of interesting in a weird way. I read a bit about how they train these guys, transforming them from regular folks to these highly skilled, operational people. They call it “street-to-fleet.” Sounds intense, doesn’t it? There was even this whole document about small arms proficiency. I guess that’s a big deal in the Navy, which makes sense. They need properly trained individuals who are ready for anything.
And then, just when I thought things couldn’t get any weirder, I ended up on Pinterest. Yeah, Pinterest. There was this board by someone named JESSE CARROLL, and it was all about Hannah Storm. I mean, it’s random, right? But hey, that’s the internet for you. You start with tennis and end up looking at pictures of a sports anchor.
So, that was my journey into the world of Naval Academy tennis. It was a wild ride, from the tennis courts to official documents to, well, Pinterest. I didn’t really accomplish anything concrete, but I definitely learned a few things. It just goes to show, you never know where a simple click can take you on the internet.
- Started with a casual search about Navy tennis.
- Found the team’s schedule and match locations.
- Dived into official Navy documents, which was a bit unexpected.
- Learned about their training processes and “street-to-fleet” approach.
- Ended up on Pinterest, looking at a board dedicated to Hannah Storm.
That is my adventure for today, a weird but funny experience.
