Setting the record straight Congratulations to the Class of 2017!!! Very happy for all of you. But just to set the record straight, the class of 2014 was not recognized in May but on April 6-7 I believe, not early but certainly not as late as some. Just saying -- in response to KP...

:mad: Of course they have been told not to come in because just like the inappropriate and illegal attempt to close down the WWII memorial in DC, this administration will do anything to make the shutdown even worse than it needs to be. People should really be starting sit-ins and rallies to show...

:frown: Do things like the appeals process continue during these kinds of shutdowns? We certainly hope there won't be any negative impact on students appealing things this week (or would that wait until the shutdown is over?) Our DS is in a world of hurt and was supposed to have his appeal this...

Encouraged So -- just wondering from what was said above if it is likely he will be allowed to go to things like Ring Dance. The deadline to buy tickets is Friday. I am hoping DS is just proceeding as if he will be there this year, doing all the things for senior year, studying a lot in his...

Update - no news yet :frown:Thank you for your responses to my concerns. Our DS did end up turning in his project, but it was short 2 projects and he didn't feel good about one other so we now await the consequences. It is hard to know what will happen. He has about a 2.6 GPA, has no...

:frown: I am hoping to get some information about current incoming A split seniors who don't pass all 8 parts of their second sea year project, what that may mean for them. How this current administration is looking at its policies. Our DS is struggling on some parts of his project as I...

Other 20% passed? Just wondering as today is graduation day -- does anyone know if all the rest of the students did end up passing their licensing exams? If so, did they also get to ring the bell? Also -- if you don't pass, can you graduate later on once you do pass them all? Just looking...

Wish DS had requested ROS or other ships earlier Thanks for the replies. I just wish DS would have found out more about the complications with MSC. I think he hoped for more consideration due to needing to be at PLC (Marine Corps) next summer and that this would put him in line somewhat "first"...

Hi all -- I am just helicoptering here. DS has been waiting for 3 weeks for an MSC ship and due to PLC next summer will have limited time to get the rest of his sea days in. Why is it that it takes so long to get on one? Do they only come into the US sporadically? Also, if you figured your sea...

This BAD teaching makes me see red! :thumbdown: As I read this thread, knowing that my DS still has to take Econ. all I feel is complete dread and utter disgust. I have been a teacher myself for 32 years and I am outraged that this Econ professor is employed at KP. Isn't the idea that...

Sounds great! Hi Cookie Angels -- We shall be there. It will be great to put names and faces together. Let's hope all will be well these next few days with the hurricane though. Some news is getting a bit "Armageden-like" so everyone on this coast is pretty worried. Thanks for organizing this...

:frown: Being the m of a DS band "geek" (not a PC) I am trying to remain light and disconnected from the attempts at humor here but actually I am more concerned with all the band co kids trying to juggle all the stuff required of them this first tri when some would really rather be on the...

Thank you for the video! It was just great to see this video even though our DS is 3C. I actually got fairly emotional seeing all the new plebes, just thinking about this time a year ago and to know that DS is still there doing well and is now an EMT during this indoc. Thanks so much!!

Thanks KP 2001 -- I was just so hoping that he could come home sooner but those are the breaks. DS is very involved there at least and making positive commitments to his education. Maybe we will get lucky and have him home before or after sea year (A split). That would be so nice. We will go to...

EMT liberty- indoc. Just wondering why some DI's are granted special liberty so they can go home before working Indoc while EMT's aren't allowed that -- and is there a special req. for band co. to stay for graduation? Also wondered why mids can't leave until Tues. when the graduation is on...
