It’s that time of year again – Time to kick some swabbies in the poop deck! :)

Today is game day for the long standing college football rivalry between the Army and Navy.  If you’re not lucky enough to see it in person at Lincoln Financial Field, in Philadelphia, you can get it on CBS at 2:30pm EST.

It’s incidentally sponsored by my bank, USAA, the greatest ever for banking / insurance / lending / brokerage services.  If you’re current/former military, or a spouse/child of a current/former member of the military, and you don’t already use them, you should definitely check them out.

AFB2Go Army!!! Hooah!!!

Oh and for your viewing pleasure, I came across some older Army-Navy game posters from the 40′s and 60′s…
