The Plebe Recognition Ceremony, also known as Herndon,   normally occurs at the start of the Yard's Graduation, Commissioning Week. Successful completion of the assault of Herndon, regardless of how long it takes ('98 Knows!!!) will signify that your Mid is no longer a Plebe, but a 4/C Mid.  Until Herndon is climbed and that Plebe Dixie Cup is exchanged for an Upperclass Cover, NO Mids, regardless
of Class, will be able to leave the Yard.
It is to also be noted Tradition has it that the Plebe who successfully climbs Herndon and makes that cover
exchange will be that Class's first Admiral. However, this has not as yet happened. However, the successful Herndon Climber will receive the Supe's Cap and souvenir Admiral's Boards, as a
memento of this great occasion. Tradition has it that you are finally NOT a 4/C Mid
anymore, but become a 3/C Mid upon return from your Summer YP Cruise. This occurs upon the sighting of  the Yard's Chapel Dome while cruising in the Chesapeake upon approaching Annapolis.
