USNA NJPC SPRING DINNER

In addition to fellowship and celebrating the commissioning class of 2026, there will be a short Business Meeting and the election of Club Officers for the 2026 Club year. All members are invited to attend.

We are honored to have Lieutenant Shawn Davis USNA ‘21 as our guest speaker.

A Junior Officers journey to the Fleet -

bio: Lieutenant Shawn Davis earned his commission from the United States Naval Academy in May 2021, where he received a Bachelor of Science in Ocean Engineering. Following commissioning, he completed the Navy’s rigorous nuclear power training pipeline, where he was entrusted to provide supervisory-level oversight on integrated nuclear propulsion operations. In September 2024, he was officially certified as a Nuclear Engineer by Naval Reactors.

At sea, LT Davis served onboard USS Nevada Blue (SSBN 733), where he completed three strategic deterrence patrols and stood over 1,000 hours as Officer of the Deck and Engineering Officer of the Watch. During his tenure, he served as the Quality Assurance Officer, Tactical Systems Officer, Assistant Operations Officer, and Main Propulsion Assistant. Recognized for his excellence in the fleet, he was named USS Nevada’s Junior Officer of the Year in 2024.

He is currently serving as an NROTC Instructor at Duke University, dedicated to mentoring the next generation of naval leaders morally, mentally, and physically. During his shore tour, he intends to complete a master's degree. When he isn't studying or in the office, he can be found refereeing local soccer games, rooting for the New York Giants, or out on walks with his wife, Kayla, and their dog, Finn.

The USNA NJPC is gearing up to head north to feed the USNA band members & cheerleaders at the Army-Navy basketball double header on Saturday, February 21, 2026. We’re expecting to feed about 300 Midshipmen and a few Cadets prior to the game. Kindly let us know what you will be bringing by adding your food & equipment donation to the spreadsheet. Click on button below.

We will be at a new location this year, at Buffalo Soldier Field, accessible via Thayer Gate. See this link for a map: Buffalo Soldier Field. We are still coordinating logistics with USMA, so it's possible that the location will change; updates will be provided by email and on the Club social media platforms.

The games begin EARLY at 11:00 a.m. Volunteers and setup needed before the Midshipmen arrive. We’d like to be up and running before 9:30am.

****Anyone arriving prior to 0900 who does not have a DoD-issued ID will be required to obtain a Local Area Credential from the WP Visitors Control Center (2107 New South Post Rd., West Point, NY 10996). This takes between 5-10 minutes per person, and the VCC opens at 0600.****

We look forward to seeing you at the tailgate!

Go Navy!!! Beat Army!!! 🏀
