    ACU, NCU, BDU, What work uniform do we get??

    i wish! no it's still navy khakis or boiler suits every day till graduation. unless as Marineopsdad says, you're doing some form of training with one of the military ops groups. but that is never during the daytime, it's either early before school or in the evenings.

    Grades

    quick life lesson for you that if you learn it now will make KP much easier. even if your teacher is a lazy bum, there's no need in making excuses. if you get a C then you get a C, end of story. :thumb:

    a C will not kill you. i got several Cs in high school, and even more of them here at KP, now i'm 28 days from license, and about 7 weeks from graduation! keep your grades as high as possible and don't freak out

    What route to take?

    i think what they're getting at is there is less competition for the pilot slots than at the other academies, not that the selection process is any easier, but if the school gets 10 pilot slots and only 15 people applied for them, your chances of flying are higher than at another academy where...

    What route to take?

    As a first classman, and one that had a very similar situation (USNA first Choice and NROTC as a backup) that came to KP instead, i can honestly say that this place has afforded me opportunities and experiences that none of my friends from any other schools can even hold a candle to. before my...

    Straightforward answer needed- Attrition

    thank you KPDAD and MarineOpsDad for your kind words of support! Jessibee, i understand that you dislike a lot of what i say, and you have every right to. a lot of it is unpleasant. however, you will also notice that i only slam what the plebes do or do not do, not them as people and future...
