Apple launches new Navy iPad

Make sure you watch the commercial for Apple's new Navy iPad!

Hey - I might have actually made a 'stadium appropriate' video - probably not though, I'm sure they'll be something 'offensive' about it...

Wikileaks exposes Army/Navy scandal

I knew it! Here's the real story!

Army Navy Week! - Videos from around West Point

The Corps has... - back when I was a cadet, there was no 'YouTube' - I had to dig out old VHS tapes of Army spirit videos, digitize them myself, pay for hosting, and then get yelled at by GoldCoats for crashing the USMA network...

Here are a few of my favorite Army Navy spirit videos from around the web:

Navy Music Video: "I'm on a Boat"


Only the Navy is 'professional' enough to make a video like this... I sadly can't take credit for embarrassing the Navy this well. Practically doing my job for me. Maybe I'll make the remix "I stay on boats." - Stay Classy Navy!

Video - Joe First Captain Episode 2


This is the second and unexpectedly final episode of Joe First Captain. A visiting congressman complained about the show and nobody bothered to tell him that it was a joke. After an email from the Com, my 'video production privileges' were suspended and Joe First Captain was cancelled.

Video - Joe First Captain Episode 1


Believe it or not, I pitched the idea to USCC for a week-long romance/dating series to be shown in the Mess Hall...and they went along with it - ridiculous, I know. I started writing and filming during the last months of my cow year. A big thanks to everyone who appeared in the videos. The Fox reality series 'Joe Millionaire' had just finished when this was originally released.

Video - Army Football and Samuel L Jackson


Another previously un-released video. Rejected because it was 'too angry' for Army Navy.

Video - Army Hockey Outtakes


I don't know how this could possible promote violence against women - clearly they hit back!

Video - Army Hockey


Another rejected Army Spirit video - from the Com: 'This video promotes violence against women.' ...amazing.

Video - Navy Spirit Video Spoof

I obtained an advance copy of Navy's spirit video in 2003:


So I suggested we play this one in the stadium to trash it...REJECTED!

Video - Secret Navy Spirit Video


I screened this video to a panel of TACs, the RTOs, the BTO, and the Com. One RTO and the Com stood stone-faced the entire time...didn't even crack a smile...REJECTED!

Video - Grad Week Challenge


This is a legitimate question - Drill or hit in the head with a bottle?

Video - Weekend at Saddam's




The Greek exchange cadets learned first hand about 'cadet borrowing' when their uniforms ended up in a quick Center Stall video

Video - Beat Navy?!



You can imagine how long I had to talk with these people in order to trick them into saying 'Beat' and 'Navy.'
