Vol. 54 No. 45 November 10, 1995 Serving the joint service community since 1941 USNA football fans brave the elements Facing high winds and driving rain, Rear Adm. Stanley W. Bryant, IDF commander, and Capt. W. Robert Blake Jr., NAS commanding officer, lead a group of Navy fans in a “Go Navy, beat Army” spot last Saturday at the Blue Lagoon. It will be sent to ABC Sports for possible airing during the annual Army-Navy football game, which will be carried live locally Dec. 2 at 5 p.m. on Channel 6. “Considering the wind and rain, I thought the turnout was great,” relates Lt. Vince Broome, IDF public affairs officer. “The videotaping went well, and I hope to see it during the game.” After the Army-Navy football spot, a holiday greeting was videotaped for Good Morning America.

During the exercise, all branches of service work to- gether to defend Iceland. The opposing force will be represented by the Danish Jrigate HMDS Vaeddern and eight ^rwegian F-16s. Wfor family members and civilian work- ers, the exercise may cause curiosity about what is going on. Siren blasts, peo- ple donning chemical protective gear or set for next week security vehicles and ambulances sur- rounding a particular building usually cause rubbernecking. The purpose of Viking Thunder is to test the readiness of NAS Sailors, Marines and Airmen. “The training you get from these scenarios is great because it gives you an opportunity to practice what you’ve been taught,” said Senior Airman Scott J. Cruse during a past exer- cise. Basewide power and telephone out- ages are not scheduled for the exercise, but individual commands may arrange limited outages if desired. The Naval Hospital will participate in the exercise. The Acute Care Clinic will operate as usual, but there will only be a limited number of outpatient appoint- ments available on Wednesday and Thursday. Pick up next week’s The White Falcon for further coverage on the exercise. SO years ago in The White Falcon ... Wind, rain, snow and the war proved no handicap to romance in Iceland.
