Spicy Chicken Patty and COOOOOOOORN Chowder, a match made in Mess Hall heaven. In this version of the Washington Hall classic, we’ve opted to kick those mystery compressed chicken discs they called a patty to the curb in favor of crispy and juicy chicken cutlets. Top with a few dashes of Texas Pete like the old days, and take yourself on a spicy little ride. If things get too hot to handle, go for a dunk in the patty’s notorious partner of crime, the creamy Corn Chowder, and you’ve got a throwback meal for the ages.

PART 3 - THE PRISONERS

The Prisoners. Seven West Point cadets will rejoin the Corps on Saturday, December 8th. For four-quarters they will cheer, once again, with their class and company mates. After a semester away they have earned the right to once again grip hands with the Long Gray Line, in-person.

Here’s a century’s worth of Army-Navy covers for you to judge.

The Design of Army-Navy

Part 1 - The Uniforms

Fashion is just another word for the constant, inevitable shifts in popular taste. Garments, just like buildings and cars and movies, can’t help but reflect the circumstances of our moment in history. That’s what fashion is. Another way of telling time.

WEST POINT 100 | ANDY MAZEIKA | USMA 2008

What’s one thing you own that you should throw out but probably never will?
Old military shirts. They're not all comfortable or fashionable, but they have this ability to travel through time in a metaphorical sense.
