Waterfront Work Party- Making Good from Bad

Last weekend we had some unfortunate events occur on some of our Waterfront Teams.  In order to reinforce the high standards of conduct we withdrew from team events this weekend and had 165 Midshipman conduct a Waterfront Work Party.  This stand-down was quiet a success, and it was great to see the Midshipmen take ownership in their projects, and their Waterfront.  Liberator looks great in white, and areas that had not been cleaned out in decades have a fresh new look.   It is amazing what a small army can accomplish.
