Yes, savor the moment. Enjoy! It doesn't last.
The saying among many at USNA is that the Academy is best viewed in the rear-view mirror. I think that's a mistake. My daughter was one of those midshipmen who could have enjoyed the moment more.
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
