WASHINGTON (AP) President-elect Donald Trump will huddle with allies and a Republican cause célèbre at Saturday's Army-Navy football game, a chance to take in one of most storied rivalries in college sports while spotlighting his emerging national security team.
Trump is expected to be joined by Vice President-elect JD Vance, embattled Pentagon pick Pete Hegseth, potential backup defense option Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and others for the 125th matchup between service academies.
Also planning to attend is Daniel Penny, a military veteran who was acquitted of criminally negligent homicide this week in the chokehold death of an agitated subway rider in New York. Penny was invited by Vance, who accused prosecutors of trying to ruin" Penny's life by charging the Marine veteran in the death of Jordan Neely in 2023.
Trump, who attended Army-Navy games as president-elect in 2016 and during his first terms, has been making an increasing number of public appearances before his inauguration on Jan. 20, 2025. He was accompanied by his family and Vance on Thursday as he rang the opening bell for the New York Stock Exchange after being recognized as Time magazine's person of the year.

The 2025 United Stated Navy Memorial Calendar has reprints of old recruiting posters featuring Female Officers and Enlisted Personnel on 4 of the 12 months.
I have a very large Vertical Navy Recruiting Poster framed in my basement featuring a Female Navy Chief. I bought it in 1987. It was old then.
Anyone. Share SECDEFs logic?

Frankly, hes pandering to the old minded crowd going back to the Should women be in combat? stuff I remember from the 70s. If you extrapolate it out hes really giving a wink and a nod to the pre-desegregated thinking.
Going back to 2002 when a bunch of us DUers met to march against the Iraq War, where did we meet up? At the Womens Vietnam Memorial- 13 US military women died serving in Vietnam.

Trump and his appointees are acting as if they are already in charge.
