In December 2006, then-Captain Margaret “Peg” Klein became the first female commandant of the United States Naval Academy, overseeing the 4,400 young men and women preparing to be the nation’s next Navy and Marine Corps leaders. She was surprised by the appointment herself - as she told Inside Annapolis in 2007, “I never dreamed I’d be in this position.

Happy Leap Year! It’s always fun to celebrate a day that appears only once every four years. Fun Fact: It’s called “Leap Year” since we’ll skip a day on the calendar after the 29th.

On February 29th, we’re grateful for an extra day to enjoy, and we’ve rounded up some new Navy gear and Navy apparel to help you leap into the year.
