    and so it begins

    Spoke to DS today - in some way they have changed the prep materials as compared to the actual exam; different from the past. He said Mass Maritime deckies had a 58% pass rate last week on the first try. Good luck to the 1/C's.

    Graduation 2011 Question

    Spoke w DS today and he sounded exhausted. License prep is taking a toll. When I said the end of the tunnel is near he replied that it is 25 days until exams - I think he is starting to see some light after four grueling years. Cannot wait until graduation.

    Presidential Graduation Speaker

    Presidential Graduation Speaker

    Here is a thought to get you past the systematics of this discussion. Ask the President's staff to tell the families of Lt. Frank Toner or Lt. Will Donnell that they did not attend a "Service Academy". It is called the Regiment of Midshipmen for a reason and to not recognize the USMMA as a...
