Lots of ordering out takes place assuming the privilege is granted and finances of the individual mid allow.

NMMI is a good deal. Many of the professors are likely better than they are at KP and it will make Plebe year a bit easier.

The enlisted failure rate at BUD/s is double that of officers. KP Mids will attend SEAL Officer Assessment and Selection during the 1c summer. USMC requires attendance at Leatherneck - during 1c summer. Not sure if it is possible to do both.

My brother was a NMMI grad and ended up President of his class. It's a pretty good deal and some of the profs are rumored to be better than at KP.

1 is universally true at any service academy. Everyone will struggle at something and apathy is infectious. Being prepared physically and academically will help but there will be dark, lonely and depressively long weeks. The hardest part is when they realize how the SAs and many of those...

Naval Aviation is a different animal than being a pilot for the Air Force. The Air Force took flying and turned it into work. Doing either on Active Duty will suck up 10+ years of your life after graduation. If I were you - I would stay on your current path and go Air Guard unless for some...

Good article and what she really is advocating for is the return of SWOS. Our (USNA) Ens that commission surface are known for being relatively poor ship handlers that are basically learning on the job. Unfortunately, since USNA makes more pilots and Marines than SWOs these days it would be...

Just remember that at the end of the day - it might not be you. https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2178622

Congrats. Try and get familiar with the calculus concepts before you go. There are youtube channels full of content on derivation/integration etc. As long as you have a VERY strong time management skills and a VERY strong background in algebraic manipulation, you can focus on the learning...

didn’t mean to derail the OPs concern but if they feel as though there is a question with integrity they should contact admissions.

Considering the antics that have happened at USMMA this year - they might welcome you with open arms if all you have is a suspension.

Get used to this feeling when dealing with anything USMMA related. The school has it's merits - namely that you get more OUT of it than any other service academy - but it's leadership, management and academic staff are not nearly in the same league.

Definitely witnessing the inconsistency of leadership with respect to liberty and other privilege for the plebes. Everything from lib to recognition seems to be a moving target. Special lib is often incentivized by attending certain events…aka if you go support XYZ team you will get liberty...

Unfortunately yes. If you have an LOA than you likely will be competitive for the Class of 2029. Start the execution of Plan B. Recovery/Rehab/Grades are your priority if you want to stay the course. For college next year CHEMISTRY/CALCULUS/PHYSICS. You won't want to put your recovering...

Be prepared to receive MULTIPLE DQs as history for each of those is individually disqualifying. You will need test results and possibly a food challenge for each allergy - and the allergist probably won't allow you to test them in a single sitting.
