This one looks like me, too, in the U.S. Navy Ensign uniform. But I'm not entirely certain because of the date stamp on the photo. The date could be wrong, or I could have been back there in Annapolis for some reason after returning from the Falklands War. It seems I would have gone to Lebanon after the Falklands. I don't know. I have seen some of these photos where I was pretty certain the date was wrong. I am also confused over whether those are the shouldboards of an Ensign or whether it is one of the Midshipman ranks. There is a similar rank ensignia for the Midshipman Ensign, according to the linked article. And, his hair looks kind of long for a Midshipman, regardless of seniority. It also seems he has a moustache, which I doubt was probably allowed for Midshipman. I puzzled over the red name tag thinking that meant he was a commissioned officer on the Academy staff, but then I noticed other photos of Midshipman officers so I'm not sure what that means. I have all kinds of symbolic memories this reminds me of though, but I don't know precisely what it means. In my artificial and symbolic memories that I think represent my attendance at the U.S. Naval Academy, I was always senior to those around me. I was usually at the front of whatever formation I "remember" being part of.

Based on symbolic and artificial memories, I think I was a field goal kicker on the U.S. Naval Academy football team during my first year. I think I was on the basketball team my final year. As for the football team, I "remember" in my artificial memories that I was on the special teams. I also "remember" when I tried out for punter on the De Queen football team and I kicked the ball very high in the sky, but it didn't go very far and I didn't get the position. There is also a "memory" of playing football with Randy Romines brother and Randy was saying that his brother had almost gone into professional football as a kicker. I have this artificial memory of his brother kicking a football and then he was saying that he couldn't believe I made the catch. I think in reality, I was the field goal kicker for the U.S. Naval Academy team and I was very good at it. There must be a specific reason for the artificial memories that I had jersey numbers, 62, 72, and 46, but I don't know precisely what that is. I guess one clue is that I was on the USNA team the first 3 years and then the basketball team the 4th year. I have memories of track and field activities, but I think that was at Princeton University. Not sure what the tennis playing is all about.

I saw this one a few months ago and I still think it is me with my back to the camera. I think I am inspecting their shoes, although I don't know why I would be doing that when they are in civilian clothes.

I absolutely loved Marisa Tomei in this movie listed below. In my artificial and symbolic memory, I can "remember" thinking that I would never really be happy unless I had a girlfriend like her. It seems there is a good reason for that "memory." I wondered if there was a connection with their birthdays, but the connection could simply be that Marisa was almost as attractive as my wife, although my wife is impossible to beat.
Ralph Macchio was the star of "Karate Kid." Joe Peschi was 33.33 years old at the time I recognize as visiting the Saturn moon Phoebe from 6/7/1976 to 6/9/1976.
Peschi's movie premiered 10 days, or 0.333 month, after my 33rd birthday.
My Cousin Vinny is an American movie, released on Friday 13 March 1992, starring Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei.

While driving through the fictional Beechum County, Alabama, Billy Gambini (Ralph Macchio) and his friend Stan Rothenstein (Mitchell Whitfield) accidentally neglect to pay for a can of tuna fish after stopping at the 'Sac-o-Suds' convenience store. After they leave the store, the clerk is shot and killed. Billy and Stan are then pulled over and detained in connection with the murder. However, Billy and Stan assume they were detained for shoplifting, so they behave guiltily and manage to indirectly implicate themselves in the shooting. Due to circumstantial evidence and a series of miscommunications, Billy ends up being charged with murder, and Stan is charged as an accessory to the crime. The pair call Billy's mother, who tells her son that there is an attorney in the family, who would be willing to take the case. Unfortunately, Billy's cousin Vincent LaGuardia Gambini (Joe Pesci), better known as Vinny, is a neophyte personal injury lawyer from Brooklyn, New York, newly admitted to the bar (after six attempts and six years) and has no trial experience.
Although Vinny manages to fool the trial judge, Chamberlain Haller (Fred Gwynne) about being experienced enough to take the case, his actual ignorance of basic court procedures gets him into trouble immediately, much to his clients' consternation. For example, after appearing before the judge at the arraignment in a leather jacket and without a tie, Vinny is thrown into jail for contempt of court after failing to enter a plea and behaving disrespectfully toward the judge. On his second appearance in court, Vinny does not even bother to cross-examine any witnesses in the probable cause hearing. To make things worse, the three eyewitnesses turn out to be stupid, incompetent, or liars, and they swear that they saw Billy and Stan at the crime scene. Sheriff Dean Farley also testifies that Billy confessed, but Billy had merely been incredulous at the suggestion that he was suspected in a murder when he said, "I shot the clerk?!" As these claims go unquestioned, it appears that the prosecution has an airtight case that will inevitably lead to a conviction at the trial. Meanwhile, Vinny's inability to get a good night's sleep at the poor accommodations he finds, coupled with his own stubborn and proud refusal to accept the help of his fiancée, Mona Lisa Vito (Marisa Tomei), further impairs his performance.
