USMMA is a Service Academy, and an extremely fine Service Academy that deserves to stay open. The regiment is entitled to carry a battle standard for service in previous wars. It is vital to our nation's well being to have trained officers transporting supplies in time of war, and at peace time...

The most inexpensive all white socks we found were at Old Navy. I think we looked in every store possible that summer before indoc. My daughter, our DS twin sister, even remarked she was tired of shopping.

KpDad 2015 is my DH. Thank you everyone for your helpful responses. We are going to gather information to appeal. What makes this the most frustrating is that I have been out of work for 5 months, and I am presently looking for another job. I worked for many years in a hospital. Unfortunately...

Congratulations!!!!:thumb:

If you are truly interested in finding out more about Kings Point, if at all possible, visit the campus. We did not know anything about the forum until after our DS planned on attending USMMA. There are many people here that are more than happy to answer questions, if you or a family member are...

Our DS went through both admission processes from both USMMA and USCGA. I think that anyone applying to either Academy or any college is willing to go through the paperwork or nomination procedures required. In the end, it is where the potential candidate feels most comfortable. Luckily our DS...

This thread has been going on for awhile now. Just my two cents. My DS recently returned from his required time at sea and the experience was extremely valuable.

Looking at the catalog, if you major in Systems Engineering there are some Nuclear Engineering Courses that are available. However the catalog is not the most recent.

That is terrific!!! Congratulations!:thumb:

That is wonderful!! Congratulations:thumb:

I have to chime in about a previous comment. As I recall the midshipman at KP were some of the first people to provide assistance to transport people away from the city during 911. They also have been involved in helping out after Hurricane Sandy. I think KP as the other Service Academies build...

What it boils down to, is if you want to receive a high quality education, you love the sea, and want to grow in maturity, investigate the options USMMA has to offer. Yes there is a service commitment after graduation. After all USMMA is a service academy. It is definitely worth the time to...

I have heard the debate about the mission of USMMA for quite a while now. I think the best advice here and the one my DS took was to visit the school and see if it is right for you. My son at first thought he wanted to be a helicopter pilot. After seeing what KP has to offer he has changed his...
