Picture the following:
Parents Weekend, West Point Academy. A formal parade, with the top Army brass watching, is in progress. And suddenly, on the building across from the parade grounds, a banner unexpectedly unfurls, and everyone present is greeted with the following message in 10-foot letters:
(Did I mention that little Army-Navy Game rivalry the two academies have?)
Turns out that the day before, 12th Company of the Naval Academy sent a small four-man "recon patrol" to investigate the parade area, find a good spot on a nearby roof, sleep there for the night, and be ready with that sucker (made of twelve blankets) come parade time. The team was recognized for recon excellence by Captain Parker, USNA, upon their "release from enemy custody".
