“Glory is bleating, but obscurity is forever.”
Goats & Glory is up for any gaming challenge. The Navy’s esports team came together from the worlds of nuke ops, cryptology, aviation and more to celebrate their love of gaming. Though all 8 Sailors followed different paths, each filled a role that is essential to the Navy’s mission. Goats & Glory seeks to prove that in the esports world and the Navy, there is no such thing as a small role.
