Write United States Merchant Marine Academy since it doesn't like the periods.

I'm actually quite excited to see what KP's food has to offer. Since I live in Korea my current high school pretty much only servers Korean food, I think I'll be overjoyed with anything KP has haha!

This was a great speech thanks for sharing!

I got an email asking parents to support a bill to reach full-funding for USMMA (Anyone know what thats about?) and a few posts on this forum about how the Academy seems to be falling apart or at least with low quality of life especially compared to the other academies. What I'd like to know is...

Your application to me seems extremely strong, the only thing is look into the physical aspects of the application. The CFA can be extremely challenging if you are not training for it.

Anyone know why KP is so quiet when it comes to providing information about life at the academy? On their main page they have day by day journal entries for Sun-Sat where a mid from any class writes about that typical day, however only like 3 of the days out 7 have an entry, and they seem to be...

I've heard that some have been given appointments and a few given prep spots (I didnt know KP even had a prep option) but fills from the waitlist can be given after may 1st. I found graph suggesting appointments in late June and I've read stories of appointments given very close to indoc. Just...

Does anyone know how many people are on the waiting list? Are all appointments principal? I've heard that, at least for the other academies, a principal nomination is a guaranteed appointment as long as you are 3Q.

I believe this is the fixed list: 1) AzCanidate/DD/Nov30,2023/Accepted/AZ-Con/Direct Appointment/recruited for soccer 2) C17Chaggy/DS/Dec2,2023/Undecided/DE/Direct Appointment 3) Eaglehurst/DS/Dec27,2023/Undecided/OH/Direct Appointment 4) BearlyMilitary/DS/Dec31,2023/Accepted/SC-Rep/Direct...

What did the process of leaving the navy for civilian life look like in terms of KP's commitment and the commitment you took when you activated your USNR commission?

One subsection also states that "Nominees may be submitted without ranking or with a principal candidate and 9 ranked or unranked alternates." This is the same as before the new changes. I wonder if this will be updated to "14 ranked or unranked alternates" or an increase in principal nominees...

I got an appointment to USMMA and I'm waiting on a AFROTC HSSP Scholarship decisions, as much as I want to attend the academy I do want to go into aviation in the AF. Are AF commissions and/or pilots slots for other branches (ie. USCG) difficult, like sparsity or competitiveness? Is it worth...
