[@kristinagordon7170]

I'm with Rick here. The different color floor tiles definitely came after our days (class of 2001 here). Most of the hall wasn't finished when I was at USNA.

What’s the difference between Plebe summer and the remainder of your first year? Are you called a Plebe the whole first year?

[@academyinsider]

Correct, you are a Plebe the entire first year. You shed the title of "Plebe" after the Herndon Climb! The difference is Plebe Summer is your typical military boot camp. Plebe Year is just the freshman year of your 4 years at the Naval Academy. Difficult academics, military obligations, and for many high level sport commitments as well!

Chopping and squaring is The same as my past . The turning tile was a Well worn Stainless steel plate not tile .
