During "Plebe Summer" at the Naval Academy, we were required to name our m14's. It was sort of a joke, though, because they were rusted POS's that had the barrels plugged anyways. Alot of Marine traditions are poked fun at at the Academy.

The detailers also told us to sleep with our rifles if we dropped them. Not sure if anyone actually listened.

Anyways, I named mine Miss Piggy just to make my cadre laugh.

"Does Ms. Piggy motivate you, Mr. Hannah?"
"Ma'am, yes Ma'am."
