N AVA L AC A D E M Y S E A TRIALS CHALLENGES P L E B E S T E A M WO R K

The Naval Academy Class of 2016 completed 14 continuous hours of rigorous physical and mental challenges May 14 during the academys annual Sea Trials training exercise. Sea Trials is a capstone event for the freshman plebe midshipmen modeled after the Marine Corps Crucible and the Navys Battle Stations recruit programs. Events included a variety of physical challenges that simulate situations naval and Marine officers might encounter in the fleet. A 2:30 a.m. wakeup is a challenge for anyone, but before the sun was up the plebes found themselves running obstacle courses and simulating urban security clearance operations.
