Navy Gear and Navy Apparel: The Weird

Make it Fun: The Bill the Goat Navy Live Bobblehead and Bill the Goat Navy Midshipmen Mascot Bobblehead can sit upon their desk or workspace at their next port of call, a forever reminder of their time on the Yard. As they bobble their heads amid churning seas, the Bills recall the good times spent singing “Anchors Aweigh” at Navy football games and the ongoing rivalry and camaraderie with Army. Produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum, each immortalizes the beloved “Navy Mascot in Training” with a limited edition of just 2,023, all individually numbered. Both make unusual and cherished commissioning gifts.

Do a Decal: When around 200 midshipmen (it’s one of the most popular commissionings) obtain their service assignments as Surface Warfare Officers (SWOs), this I’m SWO Excited decal is a fun way to celebrate! Made with a durable material and fade resistant color to last a long time, it’s easy to apply and the perfect sentiment for a midshipman throwing their cap in the air, ready for their next challenge. And if they’re not a SWO, not to worry! There are plenty of decals to mark the occasion.

USMC and Navy Gear: The Wonderful

Frame It: Navyonline has a variety of picture frames suitable for every occasion, and your graduating midshipman will appreciate receiving one to mark this moment in time.

The Lasting Memories Double Vertical Frame with USNA Crest is especially stately and celebratory. An industry-exclusive state-of-the-art printing process creates vibrant color and gives textured dimension to the seal. It’s also available in a vertical configuration and with one photo and the crest.

If you’re looking for a less formal frame, you can also find a recycled wood frame featuring a repeating USNA and an N* at the top as well as a number of other styles.

Keep It: This USNA crest keepsake box was crafted in the USA from solid native pine and finished with a water-based stain. It’s built to last with durable tongue and groove corners and brass-finish metal hinges. The handles are cut into the sides. Fill it with mementos or leave it open as a symbol for their new life with the U.S. Navy Fleet or the U.S. Marine Corps! It’s a beautiful heirloom that will prove useful throughout the years.
