Reveille, from the French réveiller (“to wake up”), originated in 17th–18th century European armies as a drum or bugle signal to rouse troops at dawn. Formalized in the British and later U.S. military, it marked the start of the duty day, prompting soldiers to rise, dress, and assemble. The traditional U.S. bugle call, composed around 1812, features a lively, ascending melody played at first light (typically 5–6 AM). In barracks and bases, it remains a daily ritual, symbolizing discipline, readiness, and unity—often followed by flag-raising and morning formation.

🌲 When you’re out in the field, there are no shortcuts.
Survival training prepares cadets for those moments—teaching them how to navigate unknown terrain, sustain themselves with limited resources, and always stay mission-ready.

“
The morning cup of coffee has an exhilaration about it which the cheering influence
of the afternoon or evening cup of tea cannot be expected to reproduce.”
“The Professor at the Breakfast-Table” (Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr., 1858)

Named after Rear Admiral John A. Dahlgren (1809-1870) an influential figure in the development of naval ordnance during the United States Civil War. It served as an armory and drill hall for midshipmen. Its open space was ideal for indoor drills and military exercises.
The hall was constructed between 1899 and 1903. Its design was overseen by Ernest Flagg, a prominent architect who designed several buildings at the Naval Academy. Today it houses the Drydock Restaurant, a gathering place for midshipmen, faculty, and visitors.
