I would be very interested in purchasing an Academy Flag.

I would like to purchase a USMMA flag to hang on my flagpole. I can find a Merchant Marine Flag but not one for the Merchant Marine Academy. Does anyone know if they make these and if so where can I puchase one? Thank you

Thank You As a 2013 parent the information I have gathered and learned from reading the responses from the prior class parents as well as current and former MIDS has been unbelievable. I have shared the information with my son and hope he has a better understanding of what is ahead of him...

Hobbs Letter The letter is a must read. As I have told my son, "A Service Academy is not a place you want to be but rather a place you want to be from". I wish I could take credit for that quote but I have taken it from another thread.

Fans needed? As taken from the 2009 Plebe Parent Tips Fans are a must during Indoc – you should bring it w/ you or your Candidate can purchase one from the Navy Exchange. Candidates will be allowed to frequent the Navy Exchange during Indoc but at this writing it is not certain when during...
