The Class of 2028 celebrated a major milestone in their Naval Academy journey by signing their “2 for 7” commitment. During a special reception, midshipmen formally pledged to continue their education at the Academy for two more years and serve at least five years as commissioned officers in the U.S. Navy or Marine Corps after graduation. The 2 for 7 signing represents a commitment to a lifetime of leadership and service, marking the moment when midshipmen affirm their dedication to the profession of arms and the responsibility of leading sailors and Marines.
Joined by LtGen Michael J. Borgschulte '91, USMC, and CAPT Clint A. Cornell '01, USN, the Class of 2028 celebrated alongside their ALINC 50-year counterparts from the Class of 1978. Together, classmates and fellow alumni shared in the pride of this achievement, recognizing the next generation of leaders who will carry forward the Naval Academy legacy. The U.S. Naval Academy Alumni Association and Foundation is proud of these outstanding midshipmen as they take this important step in their commitment to service.
