Before we select this year’s winner I wanted to post last year’s winner. Two Midshipmen sent me the video and said it is still making the rounds at Bancroft Hall.

One attacks the common rumor that some Mids have an unnatural attraction to goats including the one that was earlier slammed against a cliff. The next spoof here takes a cheap shot on Ricky Dobbs. Spoiler alert here. Although Dobbs might have thrown that interception on the two-point conversion against Ohio State last year, Navy is not even close without Dobbs’ herculean effort. I would be careful in upsetting Dobbs. You know what they say about letting sleeping dogs lie. A special thank you to Cadet First Class Christopher Poulsen for tipping…

Lets run down its bonafides: 1. It uses a recent movie that most everyone liked. 2. Extensive editing that mixes both Air Force highlights and scenes from the movie. 3. Not too long. The earlier 7 minute Spirit Spot was well done but just too long. Get to the point. 4. Great background music and overall film quality. By this I mean there are no grainy film portions. The Blair Witch Project-affect occasionally has its place, but it’s not needed…

Kudos cadets for doing the research and finding film of a falcon picking up a baby goat and slamming its head against a rock ledge. It’s certainly not going to have PETA cheering on the Falcons come Saturday, but After Action applauds the research. Remember, keep sending these Spirit Spots to mhoffman@atpco.com.

Right from the start we know this cadet is not willing to commit. The Midshipman went for accuracy and he went shirtless. Second, what puts the Mids’ Spirit Spot over the top is the one liners. These are brilliant: “Don’t you wish your cadet could be more like me. Unfortunately it is too late for him, but at least he knows how to dance to Ke$ha. I’m on a goat.”

First they jump all over the Old Spice commercial. Next, they come strong with Taio Cruz’s hit “Dynamite.” However, I gotta admit I’m not real sure how intimidating the Navy male dance team really is. Send in those Spirit Spots and they will be posted. Send them to mhoffman@atpco.com. At the end of the week we will a have a vote and the winner will earn the illustrious distinction of the After Action Navy-Air Force Spirit Spot of…
