Cheer? Where is the home field advantage? I say just do nothing, and then if you pass them on the sidewalk, shake their hand and say thank you.
You do realize that there is a definite likelihood that some of those kids you're watching on that field playing for the service academies will likely be resting in Arlington National Cemetery in a few years while your school's football "heroes" are earning thousands/millions of dollars in the NFL? Right?

If you looked at the numbers the enlisted have many more deaths in war (obviously more of them though) and 80% of people overseas are FOBBITS to the MAX.
Example, stopped in Manas and the Air Force people there were getting combat pay.
At Manas you can't carry a weapon around but they get combat pay. We have to have a weapon and ammo on us at all times at my fob.

Yes, I do realize that. Like I said, I just say do nothing. I am not going to boo, I just find it hard to cheer for any other team but the Gamecocks. And I will gladly shake their hand and tell them thank you on the street.
