Posted by Mr. Flora at 11:11 AM/Received word a few days ago that the site’s getting a mention in this month’s @Culver electronic newsletter. This is great news as it means we might get more eyes over here and more voices in the CulverTalk forums. The letter goes out today and will contain a special announcement I’ll be making officially on the site later this evening here on the front page.
If you’re not subscribed to the newletter (the official culver letter, not the GoCulver letter Miss Marquez sends out every month), click here to zip an e-mail to Jan Garrison the newsletter editor and use the word "subscribe" for your message subject line.
Posted by Mr. Flora at 1:37 AM/1. A reminder about the new videos available in the Super Two and Force Four forums they give a nice snapshot of summer 2005 and might get some of you excited for 2006.
2. If anyone has any of their old unit pictures and access to a scanner, let me know. We’re trying to compile unit pictures in our photo gallery.
3. Finally a fun post from the Alumni forum:
From GoCulver.com member higginbotham79, both a grad and former Tac officer of Naval 2:
“Okay I am going back a few years on this one when I was a tac officer for Co. 2. Some of you guys may remember this one:
It was homecoming weekend summer of 1982 and a company out of Chicago was filming a recruiting movie for Culver and would be filming on campus all week. Well, all of us tacs from all the companies went to the uniform shop where they were getting rid of some old army dress khakis that they used to wear for the various tac officers. We decided to get outiftted and wear them for the homecoming parade when we would be on the reviewing line grading each of the companies as they passed in review.
We were all decked out in these and we had each company commander wear “putts” or the white leggings that the midshipmen used to wear prior to 1979 when they used to march with M1 rifles. Also my brother was regimental adjutant that make and he was instructed when he was giving the daily report where you yelled out the OC and OD etc. In the old days they used to say”by order of the commandant” now it is “by order of the camp director”. The counselors involved were Brad Larson from Band, Hector Gonzalez from co 1, myself from Co 2, John Sbarbaro from co 3, mike uram from Co 4 and Stan Evans from Aviation.
So my brother does his thing with order of the commandant and there were some loud cheers from the crowd, the band steps off for pass in review and here come all the companies in putts and the tac officers all dressed out in officer uniforms on the reviewing line and Col Fred Lane who was the director of the school at that time almost had a stoke right there! Remember the film crew got all this on tape.
Col Lane didnt even wait until later to discipline us-he called us in that same evening and gave us an phonograph chewing that would rival General Patton. I remember Colonel Al Cornett who was in charge of military at that time winked at us all and stated that he didnt see anything wrong with it.
Needless to say when final rank was announced my brother got ensign in a company instead of Adjutant and the film crew had to come back the next week and shoot the whole sequence again! I feel horrible about this to this day but I wish you guys could have seen the look on Colonel Lane’s face!”
And there you have it. Enjoy the forums and send me feedback on the new site layout. Have a good weekend everyone!

Posted by Mr. Flora at 7:55 PM/I’ve updated the t-shirt picture a bit following advice from some photoshop experts and have moved the ledbetter back a bit and dropped in a watercolor sky I made last night. Looks a bit more festive now. All the shirts have been updated with the new images.
