Not a realistic view of the naval academy


Never heard of any of the things in this movie ever happening.

Thank you.
Just silly.

I just watched this last night and no wonder the US Navy wanted no part of it.

I live and work around several shipyards & many shipbuilders (although in executive offices)now but no one treats them as if they come from the wrong sides of the track. They have to have DoD clearances, make bank & it is hard as crap to get into the Apprentice programs at shipyards.

Rules are made because people lives are at stake-this movie is so unrealistic.

I worked previously for Naval Post Graduate School in SD not at Annapolis but this movie is such a soap opera version of Naval life. Almost insulting if it were not so funny.
Only person who would be even close is Tyrese.
