    Stay away from the young girls at Walmart. On a similar note, stay away from aliens.

    LET 2013 RING!!!!! KP Parents, Alumni and All Concerned Please Read

    Personally, this sounds like some sort of D!(K measuring contest between the commandant and the class of 2013. It is understandable that the commandant wishes to regulate such an event, especially given the unprofessional performance of the class of 2012. However, it seems that the logical...

    Morale boosters for the midshipmen

    Bring back the practice of "importing" girls from other schools for school dances/mixers. With a ~9% female population rate, it does not take an engineer to know that that ratio is not very pretty. I dont know the exact reason as to why these sort of dances were stopped (the KP rumormill has a...

    Diversity Statistics

    Now that I have gotten your attention, I was wondering where I could a state by state/territory break down of kids at KP? I know some Reps and Sentators have it listed on their websites, but I know there has to be a master list somewhere out there. Thanks!

    What makes the 1 class year difficult?

    I think one of the hardest parts (at least at first) is coming back to KP after being away for 5 weeks. It is like being up for your parole board, getting flat our rejected and being sent back into the slammer.

    Sea-Year

    You have about 342 days to get 300-317 sea days. (Engineers need less sea days). To be completely honest, your son should have gone out to sea and not done Indoc this year. He will get all the required sea days, he will just have a really rough time his second sea year. I have friends who...

    Ulterior Motive..not really

    I cannot offer money, but I can promise that I will keep her away from SternThruster, negativestability13, ShaftAlley, EmergencyTug, and WeScrewWeNutWeBolt. Bridgebabe, for 2 grand, I am sure we can work out some kind of deal.:thumb: You just cannot buy that anti-corruption guarantee anymore

    A Call to Action

    I am a current Midshipman at KP. While the gender of the 3 midshipman may not have officially played a role in the decision of the Administration to overturn the case, it most certainly comes off that way to us Midshipmen. Perception is reality. It is a widely held belief (based on honor...

    question about command structure

    The past two years, we had a Major, USMC Reserves-Ret who was on a one man crusade againt all evil at KP. There were weekends where he gave out demerits in the upper 900's, and I think he broke 1000 a few times. Of course, only about 10% of them actually went thru....

    Civilian college to academy

    Also, while you may be right about the average college costing 27k a year, the Service Academies are not "average." My school quotes our education at $250k. While I feel that 500k might be a little too high, I wouldnt be suprised if the costs were over 300k. Dont forget, this is the govt...

    Civilian college to academy

    William: After reading some of your posts, you come off as sounding very pompus and self-promoting. You go into needless detail and over-explain everything. If your question was about if your SAT scores mattered because you did well in college, I dont see why you need to go on and explain...

    Tragic news for the King's Point family

    Does anyone know what this has not been announced thru the school Email system? I am currently out to sea, but I still receive emails about trivial things, so I know I am still on some email lists.

    captain murphy books

    Some of Murphy's books will be issued before 1/c year, such as SOLAS. They are useful for some classes, as some teachers use "Coast Guard Questions," (questions that are taken from the Coast Guard database). The database used to be on the official Coast Guard website, but they pulled it down...
