Who here has a stake in the Army-Navy game and loves it?

Who attended, is military, has family that attended, or otherwise has a connection?
My dad went to the Naval Academy. I went to their summer camp orientation week, before my senior year of HS. Was strongly considering it, did all my interviews, got accepted, but failed the physical (I'm deaf in my right ear).
I ended up going to school in Philadelphia when the game was held there for several years. I've been to the game 4 or 5 times (both Philly and in the Meadowlands), and it is an incredible experience.
Go Navy! Beat Army!

Uncle was roommate to Stormin' Norman Schwarzkopf at West Point, but a great friend lives in killer house on Chesapeake. By the way, love the Nike uniforms this year!

Both my grandfathers were in the navy, yet ive always rooted for army. Ive seen multiple games in west point, ive been to a game in annapolis as well. Ive also been to numerous army/navy games in the 90s. Saw a couple games at giants stadium and a couple at the vet in philly. Amazing experiences.

Being in the military doesn't mean you have a stake in the game at all.
I'm an Army Officer, but I have classmates from A&M that are on the faculty at the Naval Academy. I have absolutely no ties to USMA. In fact, the pompous attitude and douchiness of a lot of their graduates predisposes me to wish for them to lose every game.
They are not "the Army's team", they are west point's team.

My grandfather and uncle were in the Air Force, but I couldn't care less about the Army-Navy game or any other military football game.

Dad was in the navy, so i've always pulled for them more. I'm more of an air force guy

A co-worker is a 97 West Point Grad. Really cool guy and has become a good mentor/friend so I pull for Army in his honor.

My brother went to the Naval Academy.
I went to the game back in 03. It was outstanding. Every college football fan should attend one in their life. Truly an awesome experience.
