040518-N-9693M-009 Naval Academy (May 18, 2004) - Midshipmen offer each other encouragement as they maneuver through a mud pit during a rucksack hike as part of Sea Trials. The "capstone" event places fourth-class midshipmen in a physically and mentally demanding environment that instills in them the values of good leadership, teamwork, and perseverance. Sea Trials allows the fourth class to participate in a memorable and worthwhile event that teaches them much about their own abilities and limitations as well as the advantages of working as a team.
